Borneo at Night – a Greentours Trip Report

Some really premium mammal sightings this year. We recorded not one but two separate Sunda pangolins; one at Sepilok on the first night and another during our seven-night sojourn at Deramakot. Incredibly a sun bear was also found one evening at Deramakot. The Kinabatangan produced the goods too this year, first with a huge herd of 70+ elephants feeding on oil palm as it was knocked down and then a stunning moment when we came upon a hunting Sunda clouded leopard in one of the side channels. With the usual solid supporting cast of the more easily encountered mammals this all made for a very memorable trip.

I am equally happy among the spring bulbs and alpine flowers of the Middle-eastern mountains, and the biodiverse forests, savannahs and mountains of Asia, Africa and the Neotropics and the great variety of mammals, birds and butterflies therein, but most of all I love nothing better than wondering around with spotlight all night looking for mammals!

    Hi Ian, great report. Did you get any pictures of these Temminck’s Flying Squirrels? I would welcome them as the type specimen of this species does not look a lot like the pictures I’ve seen on the internet and in the field guides (and what I’ve seen myself in the Sundaic region).
