Have you ever been in Baluran National Park

The wild rooster perches on a tree branch in the talks and swivels away around the head,

its bright red and metallic blue feathers shimmering whenever it moves, making every gesture visible from 50 meters away.

I was in awe. I never thought a cock could so gracefully given all his macho qualities and reputation, but my visit to the Baluran National Park in East Java showed me another side of the creature. It also relieves me of knowledge that peacocks can fly.

In early 2000, my class ecology visited this park, which is blessed with many types of ecosystems packed in 25,000 hectares of land, such as an evergreen forest, mangroves, tropical forest, lowland forest, monsoon forest, sea grass plain, and coral reef.

While a certain amount of people will be impressed by the rich diversity of ecosystems in a relatively small reserve, much more captivated by wild animals of the park. There is much to see in Baluran, like the wild rooster feathers of these ex-birder fluttered.

The probability of the detection of wild animals in Baluran is quite large, because they have a certain degree of tolerance to the presence of the very few visitors to the park each year.

Peacocks, or Pavo muticus, are spread over the park. They are rarely seen from the main road between the sparse trees.

It is easier to find during the dry season, when they can not camouflage mid brown tinted institutions themselves.

See how they fly or just perching on top of a high branch is such a great experience-their pretty heavy tails are hardly a problem, it seems, to their brief moments of levitation.

Deer, or Conservationists, are usually seen in herds with both men and women within the group.

The males are especially beautiful with their antlers that high in the sky. Slowly and quietly moving in the direction of the herd would give you a better view of this group.

Another herd likely to be spotted, is that of the water buffalo or Bubalus bubalis, in the water pool of the Bekol Savanna.
