The forest abounds
with the famous Livistona Endauensis, which is indigenous to the region.
Other interesting plants include the climbing bamboo and the walking stick
palm, identified by its slender stems and feather like leaf fronds. There
are also many varieties of toadstools and orchids.
Tigers, elephants,
and wild boar are some of the animals found here. The hornbill is a familiar
sight along the river while footprints of elephants have been found further
down a few kilometers before reaching Kampung Pete. The park has been
designated as an elephant resettlement area. The Endau River is a source
of fish for the Orang Asli, with a large variety of fish, including the
highly valued "kelisa" found in abundance. The largest surviving population
of Sumatran rhinoceros in Peninsular Malaysia is also found in the park.
Others include the "binturong" or bear cat and the white handed gibbon,
the only ape species in the region.
