  • A tannin-colored stream meanders through freshwater swamp forest in Sarawak. Trees with stilt roots, pneumatophores, and buttresses, are more abundant in this waterlogged habitat, which is frequently flooded by rains. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Pitcher plant (Nepenthes bicalcarata). Normally occuring only in shady peat swamp forests, this species occasionally grows in open heath-like peat bogs. It is endemic to Borneo. Sarawak, Malaysia.
    cld06081133.jpg
  • The stilt roots of these Rhizophora trees provide stability and aeration in the soft anaerobic mud of the mangrove swamp. Similajau National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld07011832.jpg
  • Spanning nearly 8 million hectares, the Mamberamo Basin is a sparsely populated floodplain surrounded by mountains in central Papua. The vast expanses of swamp forest remain almost completely undisturbed, providing one of the last extensive habitats for many lowland species. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1414279.jpg
  • Nepenthes rowanae, one of only a few pitcher plant species endemic to Australia. This species grows only in ever-wet swamps of the Cape York Peninsula. Queensland, Australia.
    cld1412196.jpg
  • A giant ant plant (Myrmecodia sp.) growing is one of the tallest plants among the stunted vegetation of a highland sphagnum bog. Central Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld06022621.jpg
  • A subtropical sundew (Drosera serpens) from the Cape York Peninsula. Queensland, Australia.
    cld1412256.jpg
  • This pond amid lowland forest is a prime breeding habitat for many species of amphibians. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1503382.jpg
  • Heliamphora pulchella, a carnivorous pitcher plant endemic to several tepui mountains in Venezuela. Canaima National Park, Venezuela.
    cld09012776.jpg
  • Heliamphora pulchella, a carnivorous pitcher plant endemic to the summits of only a few remote tepuis (tabletop mountains) in southeastern Venezuela. Insects which fall inside are prevented from escaping by the downward-pointing bristles and quickly drown. Canaima National Park, Venezuela.
    cld09012893.jpg
  • Nepenthes tenax, a newly distinguished pitcher plant endemic to northern Queensland, Australia.
    cld1412163.jpg
  • The delicate blooms of a carnivorous bladderwort (Utricularia chrysantha). Queensland, Australia.
    cld1412248.jpg
  • Peat bogs are a rare occurence in Borneo, and are only occasionally formed at the center of very old peat swamp domes. The vegetation here resembles that of kerangas heath forest but the soil consists of deep (often floating) peat rather than white sand. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld06081113.jpg
  • Swamp Toad (Ingerophrynus quadriporcatus), male. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1710214.jpg
  • This freshwater swamp on Halmahera is dominated by enormous tree-like Pandanus (Pandanus papuanus). Stilt roots enable the plants to anchor themselves in the unstable and anaerobic mud. This is habitat for the  rare Invisible Rail (Habroptila wallacii). North Maluku, Indonesia.
    cld1415991.jpg
  • One of the world’s least studied crocodilians, the False Gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii) is a rare inhabitant of the dark tannin colored waters of peat swamps in Borneo, Sumatra, and Malaysia. Due to their narrow snout they were once believed to feed exclusively on fish, however large specimens can reach lengths of over 5 meters and have more recently been observed to consume prey as large as Proboscis Monkeys, or in one unfortunate instance, a grown man. Although much remains unknown about their life history, it is clear that they are rapidly becoming endangered due to destruction of their peat swamp habitats. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1823860.jpg
  • One of Borneo's most famous endemic mammals, the Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is restricted to coastal swamp forests and mangroves. Bako National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1712627.jpg
  • A Bornean Bearded Pig (Sus barbatus) forages for food in a mangrove swamp during low tide.
    cld05110537.jpg
  • Slow-moving streams with tea-colored water are characteristic of tropical peat swamp forests such as this one in northwestern Borneo. Binyo-Penyilam, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld06081008.jpg
  • Swamp forest dominated by Moriche Palm (Mauritia flexuosa) covers vast areas of the Amazon Basin. Yasuní National Park, Ecuador.
    cld2012069p.jpg
  • Native only to peat swamp forests in Borneo, this pitcher plant (Nepenthes bicalcarata) is renowned for its fanged pitchers. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld06070804.jpg
  • The Asiatic Softshell Turtle (Amyda cartilaginea) is found in slow moving streams and swamps. It is much sought after by hunters. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
