The Island of Borneo (the third largest Island in the world) is home to some of the oldest rainforests on the planet with a simply incredible biodiversity. It is home to the oldest rain forests on Earth! Sabah boasts over 200 species of mammal, 450 species of bird, over 8,000 plant species and a myriad of different insects, reptiles and amphibians. With a high level of endemism, many species are found nowhere else on Earth. A host of different primates inhabit Borneo’s rainforests, the two best known being Orangutan and Proboscis and sabah’s birdlife is as spectacular as it is diverse. This is a record of the amazing wildlife we saw on our three week trip.
In Part 1 we visited Kota Kinabalu, Kinabalu Wetlands, Trus Madi, Trus Madi Entomology Centre & Kinabalu Park. We filmed the incredibly rare and seldom filmed endemic Peacock Pheasant, the spetacular Barred Eagle owl, the rare Blue- Naped Parrot. The endemic Chestnut Hooded Laughing Thrush, Bornean Tree-Pie, Chestnut Crested Yuhina, Crimson Headed Partridge, Red breasted Hill Partridge, Bornean Banded Pitta, Bornean Crested Fireback Pheasant, Bulwers Pheasant, White Crowned Sharma, Bornean Green Magpie, Dusky Munia, Eyebrowed Jungle Flycatcher, Everett's Thrush and the Golden-Naped Barbet, all Endemic to Borneo. Other Endemics include the Raffelisia Keithii, the largest flower in the world, the Bornean Mountain Ground Squirrel, Bornean smooth tailed tree shrew, Tufted Pygmy Squirrel & the Bornean Black Banded Squirrel. In addition we filmed A myriad of other birds, butterflies, moths, beetles and plants. In PART 2 we explore Deramakot Forest Reserve, Sepilok & The Kinabatangan River, and in PART 3 we visit Gamatong Caves and The Danum Valley. ENJOY!!

    Trus Madi Entomology Centre and Kinabalu Park are my favourite places. I saw John Bakar in this video. He is one of the best nature guides of Sabah.

    Beautiful, great shots. The use of the hanging white cloth in front of the lamp during the night in order to easily spot the bugs was genius.
