    cld1511104.jpg
  • Commonly found perched on branches along rocky clear streams, the Poisonous Rock Frog (Odorrana hosii) is named for its highly toxic skin secretions which make it not only inedible to predators but also fatal to any other frog with which it comes into skin contact with. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Mareeba Rock Wallaby (Petrogale mareeba). Queensland, Australia.

    cld09021327.jpg
  • The Black-bearded Tomb Bat (Taphozous melanopogon) roosts in caves and large rock crevices, emerging at night to feed on insects high above the forest canopy. It is found throughout much of mainland Southeast Asia as well as Borneo, Sumatra, and Java. It's echolocation calls while flying are audible as high pitched clicks. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld08021883.jpg
  • A crystal-clear stream flows through the forest at Khao Nor Chuchi Wildlife Sanctuary.  These spring-fed waters which emerge from limestone rock are highly alkaline and contain high amounts of dissolved calcium carbonate. Krabi, Thailand.

  • With a mouthful of dry moss, a Whitehead's Pygmy Squirrel (Exilisciurus whiteheadi) pauses cautiously to make sure nobody is watching before disappearing into its nest in a rock crevice. Endemic to the island of Borneo, this tiny squirrel lives only in cool montane rainforests.

  • Nepenthes pervillei, the only pitcher plant occurring in the Seychelles, where it grows on massive granitic rock outcrops on just two islands amid a crystal clear aquamarine sea with white sand beaches. The plants grow in such luxuriant profusion that you can smell the sweet alluring scent of their pitchers that are dripping with nectar. Long considered one of the most primitive and aberrant of all Nepenthes, N. pervillei was once placed in its own genus based on its unusual seeds and flowers.
    cld1616653.jpg
  • This pitcher plant (Nepenthes tomoriana) is endemic to Sulawesi where it can be found growing exclusively on ultrabasic rock substrates. South Sulawesi, Indonesia.

    cld09020644.jpg
  • One of Borneo’s most elusive and enigmatic amphibians: the Bornean Lungless Frog (Barbourula kalimantanensis). Looking like the prize-winning stone from a rock-skipping competition, albeit with four webbed feet, this frog’s bizarre appearance is an adaptation for its aquatic life in fast-flowing rocky streams. Despite numerous expeditions to the region, less than twenty specimens have ever been found by biologists, making it one of the least known of all frogs. It is also the only frog in the world to be completely lungless, and is believed to absorb oxygen directly through its skin like the similarly-adapted lungless salamanders. West Kalimantan, Indonesia (Borneo).

  • Helmet Orchid (Corybas crenulatus). This species is endemic to Borneo, where it grows in thick moss on limestone rocks. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Unable to fly with a load many times her own weight, a female Thread-waisted Sand Wasp (Ammophila beniniensis) hauls a large caterpillar which she has paralyzed with her sting. She is seeking a burrow she has prepared in advance and, even though it may be a considerable distance away, she shows a remarkable orientation ability even though there may be numerous obstacles in her path. Once placed inside, with the burrow sealed shut by small rocks and its entrance hidden from potential thieves, the ill-fated caterpillar will serve as live food for the single egg the wasp has deposited along with it. Fianarantsoa, Madagascar.
