Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

They're predator species iirc? (Or I'm getting my terminology wrong) but this is a good sign of the health of the river! That means the ecosystem can support 🥰
Ya, but i kinda worry about the mudskipper and crab and monitor lizard now 🥲
Don't worry, it should be OK. You can still find monitor lizards in the Klang River even with the otters around.
You’ll be surprised how animals can survive in the most dirty rivers/longkangs lol as long as the pollution is not from harsh chemicals. Just last week I noticed how the big storm drain behind Kajang wet market (super smelly as all kinds of rubbish from the pasar gets dumped into it every day) is full of large tilapia fish.
I'm not lmao calls up the Jurassic Park quote - for these otters in particular tho, it's like seeing wolves in the American wild e.g. Yellowstone Park. It's a good sign to see apex predators in previously depleted ecosystem, iirc.
good, bring back bullying to Malacca river
