  • Kuhl's Gliding Gecko (Gekko kuhli). By means of its large webbed feet and lateral skin flaps, this arboreal gecko is capable of gliding or parachuting between trees. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1701921.jpg
  • A Harlequin Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus pardalis) struggles futilely as it is being slowly swallowed alive by a Black-Headed Cat Snake (Boiga nigriceps). Stagnant pools of water in the Borneo rainforest serve as important breeding grounds for many tree frogs which gather around in great numbers, a fact that some predators wisely take advantage of. Kubah National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Peacock Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus kio). Yunnan, China.
    cld1704207.jpg
  • Wallace's Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) is one of the largest of all tree frogs in Borneo. It is capable of gliding down from the forest canopy by using its enlarged webbed feet as parachutes. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1404324.jpg
  • Harlequin Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus pardalis). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1704441.jpg

    cld08121106.jpg
  • The superbly camouflaged Kinabalu Gliding Gecko (Gekko rhacophorus) is endemic to the montane forests of Mount Kinabalu in northern Borneo.  This poorly-known species is a nocturnal insectivorous tree-dweller and, like other geckos of this genus, possesses skin flaps to assist in a parachuting flight. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld10052387.jpg
  • Horned Gliding Lizard (Draco cornutus), male displaying gular flap. Danum Valley Conservation Area, Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1401802.jpg
  • Dusky Gliding Lizard (Draco obscurus). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld07012404.jpg
  • A young Sunda Colugo (Galeopterus variegatus) peers out from the embrace of its mother's membranous wings. When fully grown it will be able to glide great distances from tree to tree in their nightly search for edible leaves, flowers, and sap. Also known as Flying Lemurs, they bear no relation to true lemurs, and in fact are so unique that they have been placed in their own mammalian order. Bako National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1700246.jpg
  • Draco cornutus, in flight. Flying lizards of the genus Draco are superbly adapted for their arboreal lifestyle. They are capable of gliding from tree to tree on wing-like flaps of skin supported by their movable ribs. They feed primarily on ants. Danum Valley Conservation Area, Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1405722.jpg
  • Gliding Leaf Frog (Agalychnis spurrelli). Limón, Costa Rica.
    cld2205162.jpg
  • Perhaps one of the most beautiful of all Borneo's frogs: the Borneo Flying Frog (Rhacophorus borneensis). These gliding amphibians spend most of their life in the tree canopy, only rarely descending to ground level. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Wallace’s Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) is one of the largest of all tree frogs in Borneo. It is capable of gliding down from the forest canopy by using its enlarged webbed feet as parachutes. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1702577.jpg
  • By means of its extensive skin membranes, the Sunda Colugo (Galeopterus variegatus borneanus), is capable of gliding impressive distances between trees. This adult is carrying a young offspring on its underside. Bearing no relation to true lemurs, colugos are in their own unique order and are only distantly related to primates and treeshrews. They are nocturnal, feeding on leaves, flowers, and sap. Recent research on morphological and genetic variations indicate that the Bornean and Javan subspecies may merit recognition as distinct species. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1817161.jpg
  • Kuhl's Gliding Gecko (Gekko kuhli). Equipped with webbed feet and parasail-like flaps of skin all along its body, this tree-dwelling gecko is able to ‘parachute’ when leaping through the air to escape predators. This not only softens its landing but also enables it to glide a considerable distance. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1701030.jpg
  • Wallace's Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus), male. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1928848.jpg
  • Wallace's Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus), male. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1928835.jpg
  • Harlequin Tree Frog (Rhacophorus pardalis). Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld10010498.jpg
  • Harlequin Tree Frog (Rhacophorus pardalis).  A female making a foam nest on a small tree overhanging a breeding pond.  After depsiting her eggs they will be fertilized by the two accompanying smaller males. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld10091411.jpg
  • The enlarged webbed feet of the Harlequin Tree Frog (Rhacophorus pardalis) enable it to maneuver in mid-air and slow its descent from a higher perch towards a safe landing. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld10040315.jpg
  • Paradise Tree Snake (Chrysopelea paradisi). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld08123153.jpg
  • Horned Flying Lizard (Draco cornutus), male using his dewlap to display for courtship and territorial aggression. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1824601.jpg
  • Paradise Tree Snake (Chrysopelea paradisi). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld08123136.jpg
  • Sumatran Flying Dragon (Draco sumatranus), male performing territorial display. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld2104731.jpg
  • Sunda Colugo (Galeopterus variegatus), adult female with young. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1416967.jpg
  • Paradise Flying Snake (Chrysopelea paradisi). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld2109451.jpg
  • Bornean Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus borneensis), female. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1311618.jpg
  • Bornean Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus borneensis), female. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1311575.jpg
  • A pair of Bornean Gliding Frogs (Rhacophorus borneensis) in amplexus. Like other Rhacophorid tree frogs, the female will deposit a mass of eggs on a leaf overhanging a pool of water which are then fertilized by the male. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1311449.jpg
  • Endemic to the mountains of central Sulawesi, the stream-breeding Loka Flying Frog (Rhacophorus monticola) is highly variable in coloration. South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
    cld1600827.jpg
  • Penan Flying Frog (Leptomantis penanorum), a very rare species known from only a few specimens. This is the first photograph of a female ever recorded for this species. Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld2007620.jpg
  • Belalong Tree Frog (Leptomantis belalongensis), male. Only recently described, this tiny arboreal frog is endemic to just a few river basins in northwestern Borneo. Ulu Temburong National Park, Brunei (Borneo).
    cld1708053.jpg
  • Wallace's Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1603489.jpg
  • A pair of Short-nosed Tree Frogs (Leptomantis gauni) in amplexus, perched on the foliage of a tree on the bank of a clear stream. Eggs will be deposited in a foam nest overhanging the water so that the emerging tadpoles can drop directly into the stream below. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1301192.jpg
  • Jade Tree Frog (Zhangixalus dulitensis). Ulu Temburong National Park, Brunei (Borneo).
    cld1706000.jpg

  • The Gading Flying Frog (Leptomantis gadingensis), described as recently as 2005, is a small species known from only a few localities in western Borneo.  It breeds in lowland streams. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld10091216.jpg
  • The fruits of this tenacious jungle vine (Alsomitra macrocarpa) hang from the branches of an emergent tree above the rainforest canopy.  The seeds which are released through a hole at the bottom of the fruit are equipped with a huge transparent wing which enables them to glide hundreds of yards before reaching the ground.  A classic example of mechanical dispersal in the forest. East Kalimantan, Indonesia (Borneo).
    cld06121913.jpg
  • Like other small animals of the forest understory, this Borneo Forest Dragon (Gonocephalus bornensis) must juggle his attention between searching for prey (insects and spiders) while keeping a watchful eye out for larger predators. Although this species is unable to glide like the closely-related Dracos, it is nevertheless an agile climber and can move swiftly up and down trees. The impressive mane on the back of this male signifies his maturity - we will readily defend his territory against rival males. Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1928123.jpg
  • Seeds of Alsomitra macrocarpa, a large tropical climbing vine, lie scattered on the forest floor.  Each seeds is adorned with a large transparent wing which enables it to glide slowly down from the rainforest canopy, sometimes traveling hundreds of yards. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
