Strictly speaking, Mammals of South Asia is not a field guide, because some larger groups (rodents, bats) cannot be identified down to a species level following the concise descriptions and a single illustration. monkeys, deer, gazelles, etc.). Larger species, that is, excluding dolphins and whales.

Howler monkeys! My first-ever wild monkeys! Monkeys!!!!! Creatures like another species of monkey, White-headed Capuchin , Cebus capucinus , which are also known as White-faced Capuchins. Golden-mantled Howlers ! Somehow, I restrained myself and we moved on to see more awesome creatures in the mangroves.

At nighttime this allowed some impromptu spotlighting, and we found many spiders, insects, bats as well as a Lesser Mousedeer and a sleeping Malaysian Flycatcher. Can’t do a post on Kinabatangan without the amazing Bornean endemic Probosis Monkey. A side tributary. The birding was pretty ace too.

Plus, I saw awesome bats, bugs, butterflies, herps, pitcher plants, and four of the five possible monkey species: Dusky Leaf Monkey , Banded Leaf Monkey , Southern Pig-tailed Macaque , and Long-tailed Macaque. Bats under a rocky overhang. All in all, a memorable Malaysian experience.

Sometimes in a forest you’d be forgiven for thinking there was nothing but birds, monkeys and squirrels (and mosquitos, obviously), and then at night you start seeing civets, wallabies, and tarantulas. Best of all the lodge also set out a large white board with lights on, which attracted lots of insects and in turn bats.

But I did pick up some astonishing species, including five broadbills, three pittas, six hornbills, the Storm’s Stork , White-fronted Falconet , Pygmy Ibon , Mountain Black-eye , Mountain Serpent Eagle and Bat Hawk. The truly lucky might see Bornean Clouded Leopards or the endemic Flat-faced Cat at night. Danum Valley.
