Borneo Lizard

The jungles of Borneo are host to a wide array of animal and plant life. Borneo is well known for its mammals--it is the only place in the world where orangutans, elephants and rhinoceros can be found together. However, frogs, snakes and lizards are a critical component of the diverse array of tropical ecosystems in Borneo as well.

The island of Borneo accounts for less than one percent of the worlds land area but there are more than 423 species of reptiles and amphibians known from the island, accounting for about four percent of the world's frog, lizard and snake diversity.
