When you visit Baluran during the rainy seasonyou will see ample water holesbut during this time the Banteng and the wild bulls prefer to wander in the forestsalthough other animals like peacocksmouse deerand wildfowl do come out and can still be observed. Baluran National Park boasts 444 species of treessome unique to the area like the widoro bukol ( Ziziphus rotundifolia )mimba ( Azadirachta indica )and pilang ( Acacia leucophloea ).
