Taman Rimba Kiara is a little green gem located in a corner of the TTDI residential area. The above flowering tree, the firmiana malayana or mata lembu, flashes in testimony to man's care-less-ness - it's one of only two trees in the park that had flowered, since then the tree had been chopped down.

More on the BFO

Can't seem to have enough of this fella.
     The Buffy Fish Owl is common to forested area near water, and often close to human habitations, which could explain its presence here.  Its diet includes fish, frogs and insects, plenty to be found in the taman and surrounding area.
     Females are larger than males but it's difficult to establish here which is which.  Its yellow eyes with black rimmed eyelids seem to draw one towards it.  Just love the distinctive tousled ear tufts that point sidewards.  Notice how it to has a stern smiley face, and with penetrating looks.
