Listen "Nighttime In Sabah rainforest"
Episode Synopsis
Estimated to be more than 130 million years old, the ancient rainforest of Sabah comes alive in sound as night descends. The air vibrates with the calls of nocturnal creatures, forming a chorus in the darkness. From the steady hum of countless insects to the distant cries of animals hidden, the forest pulses with life.
Within this vast wilderness dwell some of the world’s rarest and most remarkable beings - the Orangutan, Proboscis Monkey, Pygmy Elephant, Rhinoceros Hornbill, and Estuarine Crocodile - together known as the famous ‘Borneo Five’. Wrapped in shadows and mystery, the rainforest holds their presence like a secret, offering a timeless symphony.
