[4] Despite being in an easily accessible location by car and walks, there are occasional sighting reports of Burmese pythons,[5] East Asian porcupines,[6] red muntjacs[7] and wild boars.

[8] Kowloon Peak consists mainly of volcanic rocks (many of which are tuffs), and blocks of granite at the base of the mountain.
