The mossy forest is a natural environment that grows only at the highest elevations of Cameron Highlands. At such heights, low-level clouds in the sky driven by winds, blanket the forests with constant mist and moisture, creating an ideal biotope for moss, ferns, lichen and orchids. This moist tropical evergreen forest is also a rich repository for a varied set of montane creatures, encompassing insects, snakes, frogs, birds and mammals unique to this chilly atmosphere.
