New Animal From Borneo..WTHeck?

 Borneo! Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia

For information, Borneo is a part of Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. It covers 220,000 square kilometers on South East Asian island. Approximately 73% of the island is Indonesian territory; the Indonesian name for the island, Kalimantan, is used in English to refer to the Indonesian-controlled territory. The Malaysian states of Sarawak and Sabah  (East Malaysia), in the north, occupy about 26% of the island. The sovereign state of Brunei, located on the north coast, comprises about 1% of Borneo's land mass. Borneo's highest point is Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, with an elevation of 4,095 m (13,435 ft) above sea level. (So it proven that Malaysia got greatest mountain than Indonesia...haha) There are many things that we didn't know about Boerneo's forest.

New Discover Of Borneo!

Lately got some expedition from WWF that named Heart of Borneo (HOB). It is actually Conservation Program that inspired by Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia to protecting the future of nature. There are some new 'treasure' that WWF got from Heart of Borneo program. Here it is:

Long-Tailed Slug
Looks yummy? haha. 
This 'weirdo snail+leech' founded at Kinabalu Mountain.

Color Changing Flying Frog
Can fly and change color? Wah..so cool. 
I'm sure this type of frog will famous later, maybe through its movie Frogman.

Flame Colored Snake
Nice coloration there, bright orange+vivid blue+gree+brown.
But if this snake not poisonous, maybe we can assume this is Poser Snake! haha

 
 Reddish-Brown Ant
Looks cool with body pattern, and the hair summore.

'Half-Zebra' Striped Fish
How come fish can mate with zebra? One more 'weirdo animal' in the expedition.





I still wonder why WWF need to announce all of this? Didn't they know all of this rare animal will extinct one day if people interested because of its 'exoticness'? sigh~
