Orangutan babies solely rely on their mothers for milk, warmth and love; staying close to their mothers for as long as eight years. Ben was born in BOSF Nyaru Menteng, but sadly he was rejected by his mother. With no alternative, the care-takers (or surrogate mothers) have raised Ben lovingly by hand.

Borneo Pygmy Elephants are being increasingly threatened by loss of habitat. There are probably not more than 1,500 individuals left in their only stronghold on the north-eastern tip of Borneo.
The Borneo Pygmy Elephants are especially playful when they are in the water. Nothing beats a cool dip and a fun fight on a very hot and sunny day.
It was a gorgeous (and sweltering hot) blue sky day out on the Kinabatangan River. The white cotton-candy clouds were beautifully reflected off the river surface, creating a picturesque scenery of Borneo.
