Meet the Rare and Wonderful Animals of Keo Seima
Wildlife Sanctuary

Colugo
这种夜间活动的滑翔机在热带森林茂密的加拿大28回水冠中茁壮成长. 由于大片的皮肤连接着手臂，它可以在加拿大28回水木之间滑翔200英尺, legs, and tail. “Colugos are very evolutionarily distinct. I would describe it as a mix between a carpet, a flying squirrel, and a weird shrew,” said Cain Agger, Biodiversity Monitoring Technical Advisor with WCS. 虽然它们不是濒危物种，但数量正在下降. Deforestation is a real threat to their survival. (Fun fact: A group of colugos is called a conspiracy.)

Southern Yellow-Cheeked Crested Gibbon
除了加拿大28回水梢，这些灵长类动物很少在其他地方看到, and they’re known for their beautiful call. “雄性和雌性在早上会合唱或二重唱，部分是为了建立伴侣关系, 部分是为了显示领地——这听起来不可思议,” said Griffin. As their name suggests, 南方黄颊冠长臂猿的脸颊上有一块块黄色的毛. 成年雄性几乎全是黑色的，除了这个关键特征. 然而，成年雌性几乎都是黄色的，头上有黑色的冠. 由于栖息地的丧失，这些长臂猿在濒危物种名单上占有一席之地, hunting, and the exotic pet market.

Black-shanked Douc
With its blue-colored face, grey body, black hind limbs, and white tail, the black-shanked douc is a peculiar-looking monkey. It is almost exclusively found in Cambodia, 大部分都在高西玛野生动物保护区的边界内. “You rarely find it anywhere else, and the populations outside Keo Seima are very, very small,” said Agger. This is one of three species of douc langurs, and its diet comes primarily from trees: leaves, shoots, buds, seeds, flowers, and unripe fruit. It also spends most of its time among the branches. 不用说，森林砍伐正威胁着它的生存.

Asian Elephants
亚洲最大的陆地动物可以在保护区找到，通常在水源附近. 柬埔寨大约四分之一的野生亚洲象生活在高西玛,” said Griffin. 亚洲象是群居哺乳动物，在象群中形成复杂的关系. These giant herbivores primarily eat grasses, but they also enjoy the trees’ bounty of fruit, leaves, roots, twigs, shoots, and bark. 众所周知，它们会进入农田，随意吃甘蔗和腰果.

Ruby-eyed Green Pit Viper
2011年，这种毒蛇首次被认定为一种独特的物种，就在保护区内. 充满活力，几乎是霓虹绿色的鳞片和红色的眼睛是它最大胆的特征. Venomous fangs are its deadliest. 阿格说:“这很可怕，但也很美丽。. 这些坑蛇经常在季节性热带森林栖息地的流动水域附近的茂密植被中被发现.
