The Story of Sebastian: A Pig-Tailed Macaque’s Journey in Penang

Meet Sebastian. He is a Southern pig-tailed macaque, and his life changed forever when he was left behind in a recreational park in Penang.
In this new educational wildlife conservation comic from Langur Project Penang (LPP), we follow Sebastian’s real-life journey to show the challenges wild animals face when they live too close to humans.
Many of these monkeys are victims of the illegal pet trade — taken as babies and then dumped when they become “too much” for their owners. By sharing Sebastian’s story, we hope to inspire everyone to protect nature and learn how humans and wildlife can share the same home.
