Later, Eping caught a Common Snakehead or Haruan, which ironically isn’t very common in the Kiulu rapids. Unfortunately, for the fish is not protected under the Tagal system and it preys upon the smaller Mahseer. Therefore, we were instructed by our guide that the Haruan be taken and given to the villagers to eat. It was noon by then and sadly we had to head back to Sandakan as it’s quite a long drive to get there.
