BORNEO TREK


Meet some of the other amazing animals that can be found in the unique rainforests of Borneo...


Sun bear It may be the


world’s smallest species of bear, but this forest-dweller is no softy, with its long, sharp claws and strong jaws. It uses its long tongue to scoop up insects – slurp!


Pygmy


elephant There are around 1,000 of these ‘dwarf’ elephants living in Borneo. Much smaller than their African and Asian cousins, they love to splash in rivers and swamps to keep cool.


Flying


lemur These mammals have a membrane of skin that stretches between


their limbs, which


allows them to glide effortlessly from tree to tree!


Proboscis


monkey This big-nosed primate can only be found in Borneo. It uses its large nose to attract a mate, or to make loud warning calls in the forest.
