Top:/Destinations/Lampung/Flora & Fauna
The indigenous flora of Lampung is Meranti (Dipterocarpaceae) and ephyphit, whilst the wildlife includes elephant, rhinoceros, tiger, python snake, monkey, wild boar, deer, and civet cat. Lampung is naturally rich in its flora and fauna, and most of them indigenous to the area. In the national park of Bukit Barisan there are some unusual species of vegetation growing in the brackish marsh and coastal forests; but some of these plants are dangerous.
Rare flowers such as the Raflesia Arnoldi and other protected plant species include the Anorphopallus decos syirae (Giant Raflesia), bayur (Ptires Permun Javanicum) and Bungur (Leger Stiomina sp). There are 27 rare plant species is the National Park of South Bukit Barisan and six primate varieties, together with the nearly extinct wild geese (Cairina Scutulata). Another variety that draws much attention in the Sumatran rhinoceros and the albino bull (spotted albino) claimed by the Torajas of Sulawesi Selatan as its region’s indigenous animal.
The forests of Lampung are inhabited by 27 different species of mammal, 13 species of fowl including the rare wild geese, six unusual varieties of reptile including the Buaya muara (crocodile), Sanca bodo (a kind of snake), kadal monitor abu-bau (gray monitor lizard) and two peculiar animal species called peyang malaya (seterophedes pormoses) and belida Jawa (watontona sp). These endangered animals are protected.
