| | Sumatran Tiger Reserves and National Parks in detail. Kerinci Seblat National Park. |
 | | Other significant mammals include elephants, tapir, clouded leopard, flying squirrels, sun bears, the extremely unusual serow (a goat-deer), Kerinci rabbits (found nowhere else in the world), melanistic golden cats which are often mistaken for fl panthers (photographed in 1996), the tiger, and the mysterious orang pendak, a form of great ape. |
 | | But orangutans are mostly an arboreal great ape, while the orang pendek reports inevitably have them as ground-based and walking bipeds. |
 | | Sightings of this claimed animal are reducing and camera traps have produced nothing, so this may be an indication that the orang pendak is travelling the road towards extinction. |
