Until the end of the 19th century, visitors came back with strange stories, which have since become legends, like the existence of a half man half beast, a ferocious, cannibalistic sort of humanoid with a long tail. Since that time, we have learned that human beings have always travelled through this primeval forest, a people known as the Punans.

We still know almost nothing about the Punans. They number a few thousand and live in small groups scattered over an immense territory, and each encounter with them raises more questions than it provides answers.To survive in the jungle, the Punan had to invent hunting techniques suited to their environment. But when a wild game is killed, they always adopt the little orphans that they find : monkeys or otters then become members of their families
