THE ELDERS: older generation, live on the deeper chambers of the Shuilian Mansion and enjoy the respect and honors by all the beings in Huaguoshan.

An-kong Tudigong (Grandpa Earth God)

Earth God of Huaguoshan, appears mostly as a moss-green furred orangutan but has many forms. Reclusive and reticent, but loves dearly all the beings living on his mountain. Adoptive father of Wukong.

A-ma Longan (Grandma Dragon-Eye)

Matriarch of a monkey troop, Francois Langur. Dry yet caring, often serves as a protector of the monkeys of the mountain and a middleman between spirits and mortal creatures. Her duties were mostly taken over by Wukong after he became king. Adoptive mother of Wukong.

I-bo Lanye (Auntie Orchid-leaves)

Granddaughter of Longan, and second in command, Silvery Lutung. Fond and overbearing, takes care of the troop whenever Longan leaves to maintain the peace. Biological mother of Jinju.

Shandanmao (Coral lily cat), also called Au-bo Shanhu (Stepmom Coral)

An asian golden cat who once attempted to eat Longan, and was made to atone for her attack on the mountain's Tudipo by serving as her bodyguard.

Wukong, also called Shihou (Stone Monkey) and Xiaoshi (Little pebble)

King of Huaguoshan. Rules over several troops that live on the mountain and shelter in the Water-Curtain Cave, and helps to keep the peace and balance among the creatures and demons.

THE FOUR STALWART MARSHALS: The Monkey King's trusted second-in-commands in the kingdom's hierarchy, and Wukong's closest confidants.

Liu Jinju (Golden-Orange)

Ma Yuehua (Moon-Flower)

Ba Hongteng (Red-vine)

Beng Maqaw (Mountain-pepper)

THE GOLDEN CAPTAINS: Trusted soldiers directly under the command of the Stalwart Marshals, but especially under Jinju/Marshal Liu

Songzhen (Pine-needles)

Second-oldest of the group, a laidback Ebony Javan Langur.

Suanguo (Sour-fruit)

The youngest and grumpiest of the bunch, a red-shanked douc.

EXTENDED FAMILY: Members of the sworn brothers' kingdoms who end up joining Huaguoshan in some manner.

Erwangzi Xiangjing (Second Prince Fine-Fragrance), also known as Prince Rougui (Cinnamon)

Wukong's mate and trusted friend, Cat Ba langur. One of the rescued monkeys from the Monstrous King of Havoc's lair, trusted advisor and cousin-in-law of Yurong Wang (Golden Snub-nosed Monkey King). Charming, eloquent and wise, but wears his heart right on his sleeve. After the two kings build an alliance, Xiangjing and Wukong become quite fond of each other, and after some failed courting attempts, Wukong accepts Xiangjing's affections.

Rinrin, also called Xiaohuo (Little fire)

Ranked sentry and scout, Rhesus Macaque demon. Once part of Niu Mowang's kingdom, she sought to earn further rank and merit by learning exorcism techniques to dispel minor demons who'd dwell on the edges of the mountains. She became emotionally attached to a human demon hunter, and when she left the mountain in shame, said human followed her. She earned the friendship of Wukong swiftly, which also earned her a spot in his court despite displeasing the Bull Demon.

Xiaojie Duan

Skilled demon hunter, human. While she's accomplished in exorcising and conquering demons and spirits, her true goal was to find someone she loved to settle down and raise a family with. What luck, that said person turned out to be a demon monkey in disguise! Not one to back down from her affections, she followed after Rinrin and together they settled in Huaguoshan.

THE SEVEN PRINCELINGS: Wukong's children by order of age.

Wumiao (Witch-sprout)

Adopted first daughter, fairy crane demon. Eternally youthful and ethereally beautiful lady. Often bears a feathered fan in her hand and a pinewood sword at her waist. Gentle and demure, adores her father and siblings. Head priestess of the Huaguoshan Daoist temple, and protectress of the Heavenly gate there.

Bailian (White-face)

The largest of the quintuplets, Bailian has snow-white pale skin no matter the season or weather, and fur like clouds at dusk. Despite being the firstborn son and the only one able to walk on clouds and water, Bailian has frail health and a sickly disposition, and thus seldom interacts with the world at large. His father and siblings tend to be overprotective due to this, much to his dismay.

Liangwei (Two-tails)

The second daughter, Liangwei has a head of golden fur and two prehensile tails. She has a cunning mind and a sharp tongue, always quick to reply and twist people into knots with her words. She enjoys entertaining guests and kindred with masterful poetry and rhymes, as much as others enjoy hearing her. Her eyesight is quite poor, and she often relies on Sanyan and her tails to help her find her way around.

Sanyan (Three-eyes)

Second-born son, with a somber and dry temperament. Though his appearance seems at first not to stand out against his more visibly magical siblings, Sanyan possesses a third eye often hidden in his fur when closed. It can see the true nature of all things, though what he knows he seldom shares. Sanyan is selectively mute, and communicates through sign language or by borrowing Liangwei's sharp tongue when she's around.

Shuashua (Playful):

Third son among the five, and by far the most energetic. Most well known as a never-still blur, Shuashua is nimble and covered in colorful stripes of fur and has a snub nose. He's known for never sleeping or ever seeming to rest at all, and spending most of his time with some activity or another. Not the sharpest tool in shed, but his bright and hard-working disposition more than makes up for it.

Si'er (Four-ears)

Third daughter, and by all measures the runt of the quintuplets. She has a calm and sweet disposition, but her particularity of having four calf-like ears and sensitive hearing often tends to put off the others of her family and kingdom. Reincarnation of [redacted], aware of past life. Deeply devoted daughter and sister, tries her best to right the wrongs of the past. Has terrible tinnitus and migraines that turns her physically monstruous. Keeper of the sealed temple of [redacted].

Danxia (Cinnabar Cloud)

Adopted fourth son, human. An orphan left in Wumiao's temple. Despite growing up surrounded by demons, immortals, and fairies, the boy had no contempt for his peers, instead striving to learn as much as he could to keep up with his siblings.

THE KING'S DISCIPLES: newcomers to Huaguoshan after the fire, brought in thanks to the pilgrimage west.

Xiaoyu (little fish), Congcong (verdant), Jiazao (hearth)

Three female macaques Wukong rescued from being stable monkeys, and have stuck to the group to cater to the artifacts and run minor errands. Trained in combat by Wukong, and later joined the mountain kingdom as warrior nuns and established a Buddhist temple.

Visit The Zoo Day

If animals are your passion then Visit the Zoo Day gives you a great opportunity to really get close to some of the most intriguing and engaging species on the planet. No matter where you live, your usually not far from a zoo, so why not go for a visit and find out more? Some people think of zoos only as cruel prisons where countless animals are kept, bored to death, from the moment they’re born till the moment they die. But these days zoos are at the forefront of much of the research which goes on into animal behaviour and how best to protect vulnerable animals from extinction. Many zoos have breeding programmes running, where they work with other facilities around the world to increase the numbers of endangered populations. In most of the better zoos around the globe, the enclosures the animals are kept in are relatively roomy and attempt to mirror an animal’s natural environment as closely as possible. Some zoos house indigenous species as well as or rather than those from further away. All in all, zos are fascinating (and often smelly) places where we can get a lot closer to nature than we would ever have the chance to otherwise, and that’s definitely worth trying at least once or twice in life.

The History of Visit The Zoo Day

The idea of having exotic animals confined to a certain area for other people to view or observe is not new at all. The earliest such enclosure , called a “menagerie” discovered by excavators in Egypt and is believed to date back to about 3500 B.C. King Solomon of Israel was a known ancient animal collector, as were King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia and Alexander the Great. Wild animals were also collected to be used in the arenas during the Roman Games, though most of those died violent deaths after being pitted against each other for the amusement of the crowd. Later, British kings kept wild animals in the Tower of London, with the price of viewing them being a small dog or cat that could be used to feed them. The first actual zoo, created not to stroke the ego of a monarch, but rather to educate and entertain, was opened in London in 1828.

How to Celebrate Visit the Zoo Day

The best way to celebrate this day is to visit a zoo yourself, and perhaps take your partner or your children with you. You have likely been to the zoo before, however, so you are aware f how people just move from one animal to the next, never paying any of them nearly as much attention as they should. So this tie, try to make your trip to the zoo different. Make a point of reading up on several specific animals beforehand in order to know as much a bout them as possible before you see them live. Then, spend more than the few moments most people spend gazing idly at the creature before moving right onto the next one. Study it, observe it, try to get the best look possible, take note of the animal’s behaviour, which you can later discuss with your partner or family. This Visit the Zoo Day, remember why zoos were created in the first place, and take advantage of the full learning potential they offer.

The East Javan Langur Also known as the ebony lutung, it is found on and endemic to the island of Java, as well as on several of the surrounding Indonesian islands. The menu of the Javan langur consists of leaves and flowers, making them herbivorous. They also consume fruit and insect larvae. 📷 : Sony ILCE-A7RM4, FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6GM ##### 東爪哇葉猴 它也被稱為烏木魯通，在爪哇島以及周圍的幾個印尼島嶼上都很常見。 爪哇葉猴的菜單由葉子和花朵組成，使其具有草食性。 他們還食用水果和昆蟲的幼蟲。 (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD5QRNznz2l/?igshid=i7io478a5qyb

Bronx Zoo, New York City (No. 46)

Anacondas or water boas are a group of large snakes of the genus Eunectes. They are found in tropical South America. Four species are currently recognized.

Although the name applies to a group of snakes, it is often used to refer only to one species, in particular, the common or green anaconda (Eunectes murinus), which is the largest snake in the world by weight, and the second longest.

The common treeshrew (Tupaia glis) is a small mammal in the treeshrew family Tupaiidae, and is native to Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It has been listed as Least Concern by IUCN as it remains common and displays some adaptability to ongoing habitat loss. 

The common treeshrew is one of the largest among treeshrews. Average body length is between 16 and 21 cm (6.3 and 8.3 in), and average weight is around 190 g, with varying colours of reddish-brown, greyish or black upper parts and whitish belly. Its long, bushy tail is dark greyish-brown and almost reaches the length of the body. The paws are bare with sharp nails, and with a naked patch of skin above its long nose. Both sexes are similar. The animal has a head and body length of 13–21 cm and a tail length of 12–20 cm. The common treeshrew usually has a white, pale stripe on each shoulder.

The two subspecies are T. g. longipes and T. g. salatana, with T. g. longipes being duller in color than T. g. salatana. The underparts of T. g. longipes are dull buff to reddish-buff, and the underside of the tail is greyish. The underparts and underside of the tail are dark reddish in T. g. salatana. Similar species are Tupaia splendidula and Tupaia montana.

Hore! Belasan Lutung Jawa Sudah Siap Dilepas Liar Ke Alam Bebas

MALANGTODAY.NET - Empat belas ekor Lutung Jawa (trachypitecus suratus) dari hasil penangkaran di Javan Langur Centre (JLC), Coban Talun, Kota Batu dinyatakan siap menjalani proses habituasi sebelum dilepasliarkan di alam bebas. Tampak sejumlah petugas JLC melakukan berbagai persiapan handling dan packing sebelum diberangkatkan menuju hutan lindung Rumah Perlindungan Hewan (RPH) Sumbermanjing Kulon, Kabupaten Malang Selatan, Sabtu (25/11). Project Manager JLC - The Aspinall Foundation Iwan Kurniawan, menerangkan bahwa sebelum dilepasliarkan, satwa endemik primata pulau Jawa ini akan menjalani masa habituasi terlebih dahulu, sebelum dilepasliarkan pada sekitar tanggal 30 November 2017 mendatang. "Kami tempatkan di kandang semi terbuka, untuk adaptasi dengan lingkungan disana mulai dari suhu, kelembapan udara, makanan alami, hingga suara-suara yang tak pernah mereka kenal sebelumnya selama kurang lebih seminggu," ungkapnya sebelum pemberangkatan lutung di lokasi, Sabtu (25/11). Sebelum ditranslokasikan, lanjut Iwan, lutung-lutung ini dipastikan terbebas dari penyakit berbahaya menular seperti TBC, Hepatitis, Herpes dan lain-lain. Selain itu, juga telah menjalani masa rehabilitasi selama kisaran waktu 10 bulan hingga 2,5 tahun, berbeda tergantung masing-masing individunya. "Dalam proses tersebut, mereka telah menjalani sejumlah pemeriksaan kesehatan (medical check up) secara bertahap. Selanjutnya, terus akan di-monitor secara intensif melalui microchip transponder yang kami pasangkan di tubuhnya," jelasnya lagi. Perlu diketahui, tiga dari empat belas ekor Lutung Jawa bernama Frankincense, Oat dan Delairea merupakan hasil repatriasi dari Port Lympne Animal Park di Inggris. "Selebihnya berasal dari hasil penertiban oleh Balai Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam (KSDA) dan hasil penyerahan dari masyarakat. Penyerahan dari masyarakat umumnya berasal dari daerah tapal kuda yang memang terkenal sebagai daerah perdagangan ilegal," paparnya. Sebagai informasi, sejak berdirinya JLC bersama Balai Besar KSDA Jawa Timur dan The Aspinall Foundation sejak tahun 2012, telah melakukan pelepasliaran sebanyak delapan kali. Total 56 ekor Lutung Jawa mampu bertahan hidup dengan baik di dua lokasi berbeda, Hutan lindung Coban Talun dan Malang Selatan. Dari data monitoring rutin penghitungan populasi, TAP IP mencatat ada kecenderungan pertambahan populasi hingga mencapai 141 ekor. Tentu hal ini menjadi harapan baik bagi keberlangsungan populasi primata satwa asli Indonesia, Lutung Jawa ini yang telah ditetapkan sebagai spesies  dengan kategori vulnerable (rentan kepunahan) sejak tahun 1999.

@halimunsalaknp crediy to @markleonspence - I never actually go to see the Javan lutung, I'm always looking for his more evasive Javan brethren (I'm looking at you Javan gibbon, Javan surili and offender in chief Javan slow loris) but he's always there looking suave putting on a show. An inspiration to all Java's primates. #lutung #java #primate #gedepangrango #indonesiawildlifephotography #monkey #wildindonesia - #regrann
