KUALA LUMPUR: Until recently, Wang Kelian has been in the news for the wrong reasons, but the small Perlis town that borders Thailand is actually a treasure trove of rare animals and plants, the most elusive being the Beruk Kentoi.

Even in its native habitat in the Nakawan hills that tower over the border town, the Beruk Kentoi, or stumped-tailed macaque, is rarely seen and can only be found in the area.
