  12. Fun Facts All the following flora and fauna mentioned below can be found at the Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve 1)What is atap-chee? Is there a spelling mistake here?Atap-chee is the flesh from the young seeds of the mangrove plant Nypa fruticans. It is usually soaked in sugar syrup and serves in local dessert such as ice-kacang. 2)A Cross Spider? Does that mean the spider is very angry? Like all spiders, the Cross Spider has 8 legs. They however, hold or cross each other’s legs in pairs, which appears to form a cross. Hence, the name, Cross Spider. 3)A Drill in the mangroves? What’s that? Just like the drill you use to make holes on the walls, the Drill, Chicoreus Capucinus makes holes on other shellfish to extract its meat as a meal! It uses a boring organ that produces carbonic acid under its foot. The whole, tedious process takes several hours! 1) 2) 3)
