Encore post from exactly one year ago... Animals of Borneo: Bornean Orangutan Orangutans are Borneo and Sumatra’s global ambassadors. Their current endangerment is caused by habitat loss, unregulated palm oil plantations, illegal logging and the unlawful pet trade. They are very intelligent animals and the mothers spend time nurturing and teaching their children to survive. Each night an Orangutan builds a nest in the tree to sleep in. Their call is a bombastic sound that echoes around them. Between the gibbons, orangutans, insects, frogs and birds the rainforests of Borneo it sounds like an orchestra and choir warming up singing a dozen different songs all at once. This is the conclusion of the first 4 Animals of Borneo posts - more to come later. * #Orangutan #BorneanOrangutan #Song #NestBuilders #GreatApes #Borneo #BorneanFauna #Kalimantan #Sarawak #Sabah #Malaysia #Indonesia #Primate #Cute #Art #Artistic #PhotoManipulation #SimulatedPainting #AnimalsOfBorneo https://www.instagram.com/p/BqKvBESh8t3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=42hc4lsjgxy9

Encore post from exactly one year ago today. . Sunda Wrinkled Hornbill Reimagined by Jeri Rae This species is found in Southern Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo. These fairly large birds are pretty awesome to see up close as I did one time in Borneo. This simulated painting is designed to appear as if it was painted in oil on canvas. * #Art #Artistic #SimulatedPainting #SundaWrinkledHornbill #AnimalsOfBorneo #AnimalsOfInstagram #Hornbill #SoutheastAsia #LargeBirds #PhotoManipulation #VirtualOilPainting #VirtualOilOnCanvas https://www.instagram.com/p/CIoDvSal0ZI/?igshid=o3kuu3sm5bvn

Animals of Borneo: Clouded Leopard (Top) and Malayan Civet (Bottom) * Clouded Leopard Clouded leopards are the most talented climbers among the cats. In captivity, they have been observed to climb down vertical tree trunks head first, and hang on to branches with their hind paws bent around branchings of tree limbs. They are capable of supination and can even hang down from branches only by bending their hind paws and their tail around them. When jumping down, they keep hanging on to a branch this way until the very last moment. They can climb on horizontal branches with their back to the ground, and in this position make short jumps forward. When balancing on thin branches, they use their long tails to steer. They can easily jump up to 1.2 m (3.9 ft) high. More information here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clouded_leopard * Malayan Civet The Malay civet (Viverra tangalunga), also known as the Malayan civet and Oriental civet, is a viverrid native to the Malay Peninsula and the islands of Sumatra, Bangka, Borneo, the Rhio-Lingga Archipelago, and the Philippines. It is listed as "Least Concern" by IUCN as it is a relatively widely distributed, appears to be tolerant of degraded habitats, and occurs in a number of protected areas.

Animals of Borneo: Proboscis Monkey Top: Female and Infant Bottom: Male * The proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) or long-nosed monkey, known as the bekantan in Indonesia, is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey with an unusually large nose. It is endemic to the southeast Asian island of Borneo. This species co-exists with the Bornean orangutan. It belongs in the monotypic genus Nasalis, although the pig-tailed langur has traditionally also been included in this genus. The monkey also goes by the Indonesian name monyet belanda ("Dutch monkey"), or even orang belanda ("Dutchman"), as Indonesians remarked that the Dutch colonisers often had similarly large bellies and noses.
