Ficus forstenii: Figs provide food for wildlife at Tawau Hills Park, Sabah

Tis Ficus forstenii fig tree fruited in March 2023 next to the river swimming pool at Tawau Hills Park.

The ripe figs attracted abundant wildlife including the resident pair of Rhinoceros Hornbills, as well as  the local troop of Red langurs.

Figs that fell into the river velow were eaten by fish and river turtles.
