Sorry, not that kind of night life you'll expect. These wild boars will roam the resort area as soon as night is falling.
You'll notice these are a lot of pot holes in the resort compound; those are the handy works of these wild boars la!

Bako is the home to tens, if not hundreds of thousands of flying mammals. At dusk the bats venture out of their caves to begin a night of insect devouring. Try to be in the jungle at dusk and watch as the bats negotiate the trees with a series of aerodynamic tricks.
I used to be fairly scared of bats. But a night in the jungle cured me of that as thousands of bats swooped past my head just inches from me. But not one made contact, thank goodness.
Later that night the bats put on a show at the canteen as we had our dinner. Hundreds came flying right through the open air dining center.
