He has an innate love for plants and animals


Though Chuan Ah Kau has taken a multitude of pictures of both flora and fauna, the photography bug only bit him a few years ago Photos: The Star/Art Chen

Beast master, eco evangelist, green fingers ... take your pick. Chuan Ah Kau can be recognised for any one of these environmentally-friendly roles. The 73-year-old PJ-ite is also a photographer with a keen eye for wildlife. And contrary to popular belief, a trip to the Belum-Temengor isn’t even necessary.

Why, he finds his wildlife so close to an urban hub like Petaling Jaya, scouring the Taman Rimba Kiara for a variety of animals. On his Facebook page is a dramatic image of a black cobra and monitor lizard (on opposite banks of a drain) about to face-off.
