The second smallest species of frog - You have no idea how long we spent searching through the mud to find him!

I was ankle deep in mud, trying to take the monitor's photo, and then saw the pigs coming, and had to squish quickly to a good spot without scaring anything away - The monitor blends in a bit too much with the background (like, derrrr, it's supposed to!) but still happy.

A very shy, extremely rare, and seldom sighted. This was a definite highlight of our time in Sungai Kinabatang.

Looking out for some passengers, I believe. They, too, find that speedboats are quicker than swimming!

This friendly otter came for a walk with us when we went to the proboscis monkey feeding platforms. He walked with us for about 1-2 km and then back. It is amazing how an animal like this can be so domesticated. He did stop for a dip in almost every puddle we passed! By the way, that is me (Richard) with an employee from the reserve - that is not Jo on the right!
