豐柏覓猴趣 Looking for Monkeys at Fengbo
登廟步道擁有不少鳥類及蝴蝶資源,但步道上最引人目光的莫過於台灣獼猴了。此處的獼猴並不怕人,甚至會與遊客近距離互動! 因此,觀察台灣獼猴時,須遵守 ”不接觸”、”不干擾” 及”不餵食的賞猴三不原則,避免讓聰明、好奇的野生獼猴,改變牠們的習性與行為,衍生出向遊客乞食,甚至攻擊事件發生。
There is an abundance of birds and butterflies along the Temple Trail, but the most eye-catching creature here is the Formosan macaque, or rock monkey. The monkeys are not afraid of humans, and even interact with them up close. When observing the monkeys you should observe these three principles: no contact, no disturbance, no feeding. Avoid helping these intelligent and curious wild monkeys change their habits and behavior so that they beg for food or even attack people.
