Description: Ingan Jau, a settled Penan from a village in the interior of Sarawak having a friendly argument with 'Medok', his pet long-tailed macaque (macaca fascicularis). Like most other indigenous tribes in the interior of Sarawak, Penans have a great respect for animals, even the ones which they hunt for food. To many, it is even taboo to tease or make fun of them.
