The Javan, Malayan, and Bornean black-capped babbler were thought to be the same species all grouped as the black capped babbler until 2021 when they were split into 3 separate species. The Bornean black-capped babbler pictured are similar to their neighboring counterparts found in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests however they are endemic to Borneo. Chunky and thickset they often rummage through leaf litter and scurry about on the forest floor.⁠

The Bornean gibbon, also called Müller’s gibbon, is one of the smaller gibbon species and is endemic to Borneo. They are diurnal and strictly arboreal, spending their lives in the canopy. Like all gibbons, they have long forearms for brachiation (swinging from branch to branch) and devote much of the day to foraging.

The Oriental pied hornbill, also known as the Malaysian pied hornbill, is one of the smallest of the Asian hornbills. Adults measure about 55–60 cm from head to tail and males have a bill roughly 19 cm long. Their pale whitish-yellow bill and casque are made of keratin and are surprisingly light despite their size because they’re full of air cavities.

The crested serpent eagle is widespread throughout tropical Asia. It is a fairly large heavily built stocky eagle with a dark white-tipped bushy crest which gives it a distinctive thick-necked appearance. When it is alarmed, the crest frames its face highlighting their yellow eyes and large head which makes it look all the more intimidating. As its name suggests, the crested serpent eagle is a reptile eater who feeds on snakes and lizards. ⁠

Orangutans are unique to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Some males develop flanges, large, fleshy cheek pads that develop as they mature. These features serve to amplify vocalizations and signal dominance and health to potential mates and rivals. These intelligent primates are primarily arboreal and exhibit remarkable problem-solving skills.⁠

Bornean elephants, a subspecies of the Asian elephant, are known for their smaller size compared to African elephants. One notable difference is their ears: Bornean elephants have relatively smaller ears, which are not as large or fan-shaped as those of African elephants. The larger ears of African elephants help with thermoregulation, allowing them to dissipate heat in their warmer habitats. In contrast, the smaller ears of Bornean elephants are better suited to the humid tropical environment of Borneo. ⁠
