Who you calling 'giant'? 😏 The spotted giant flying squirrel (Petaurista elegans) may have a big name, but at 30-40 cm length, it’s more 'fun-sized' than 'giant'! Here, it is peeking out of its cozy tree hole on Mt. Kinabalu, Sabah, #Malaysia. Don’t let the size fool you, though —they’ve got plenty of glide in them!

Borneo endemics: Proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) occur only on Borneo. They seasonally switch between eating fruit and leaves. To digest their cellulose-rich diet, they have complex, chambered stomachs that rely on symbiotic bacteria for digestion. The large nose is an acoustic resonance chamber.
