Borneo has own a wide variety of bird species. The geological history of Borneo is a major factor: long isolation of the island, broken during the last Ice age, when Borneo was connected to the continent of Asia, led to a combination of Asian and native species. There are about 420 species of birds and 37 are endemic to Borneo [4] [5]
Rafflesia, largest flower in the world is endemic to Borneo. Borneo island, made up of three countries which are Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak), Brunei (Sultanate) and Indonesia (Kalimantan), is the third largest island in the world. Borneo island is a region that is rich in biodiversity. It consists of 15,000 plant species, and more than 1,400 ...
The Borneo lowland rain forests cover an area of 428,438 square kilometers, about 57% of Borneo's land area. They cover most of the island below 1000 meters elevation. Borneo is divided between Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei, and the lowland rainforests extend into all three countries. [3]
The species' natural habitats are moist montane and sub-alpine forests [1] at elevations of 1,600–3,480 m (5,250–11,420 ft) above sea level—the highest of all Bornean amphibians. [3] Adults are terrestrial; the tadpoles presumably develop in streams. This rarely encountered species occurs in the Kinabalu Park, which is well protected ...
It is sexually dimorphic, with females ranging in body length from 1 to 1.2 m (3 ft 3 in to 3 ft 11 in) and males from 1.2 to 1.7 m (3 ft 11 in to 5 ft 7 in). The Bornean orangutan inhabits Borneo lowland rain forests and Borneo montane rain forests up to an elevation of 1,500 m (4,900 ft).

Males measure typically 50–68 mm (2.0–2.7 in) whereas females can grow to 90 mm (3.5 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is blunt; the body is slightly more stocky compared to some other Meristogenys species. The skin on the dorsum has smooth warts. The dominant color is green, including the eyes. [4]
The largest species is Meristogenys kinabaluensis; males reach 68 mm (2.7 in) and females 93 mm (3.7 in) in snout–vent length. [5] Adults of different species are usually morphologically similar and difficult identify to species, and even difficult to distinguish from other ranid frogs, notably Hylarana. [3]
