Taken from a lookout tower next to my accommodation on Mabul Island in Borneo. It was early morning and this approaching rainstorm looked like a huge ribbon in the sky. The darker storm clouds were just out of the frame but it really pelted down about 5 minutes after I took this shot. View more of my landscapes by going to: / Landscape

These are the wonderful proboscis monkey. I love visiting them in Borneo. They have two stomachs which are full of gas in order to digest the poisonous leaves which they eat. The poison from the leaves used to be used in blowpipes. These fantastic animals only live in Borneo. People have tried to keep them in zoos, but they get depressed and won’t eat. This is a young proboscis monkey grooming an alpha male, who had lots of wives (lucky thing). Maybe the reason they have lots of wives is the fact that they have an almost permanently erect penis! It is skinny and red, and the locals call it the red chilli! Apparently it used to be eaten as an aphrodisiac…

This is my favourite monkey – the wonderful proboscis monkey. I always think their fur around their neck looks like a shakespearean ruff! Their noses are huge – they use them to make a loud honk and to communicate their whereabouts to other monkeys. Some noses are so big they have to lift them up in order to get food in their mouths. It looks so funny when they do this! We met him in Sabah, Borneo. They only live there – nowhere else. They have two stomachs filled with gas which digests the poisonous leaves which they eat. These leaves are sometimes used for the tips of blowpipe darts. People have tried to keep these monkeys in zoos, but they get depressed and won’t eat and then die. They cannot tolerate sugar so you would never see these monkeys eating bananas, though I think they would look quite at home with a banana in their hand! They have an almost permanently erect penis – it is thin and red and the locals call it the red chilli! They used to eat it as an aphrodisiac. Their testicals are black and all in all it is quite an amazing sight! They are good at swimming and have webbed back feet. They are not good at playing hide and seek because when they are hiding up trees you can see their very long white tails dangling down like a load of bell pulls! Unfortunately much of their habitat around the mangrove swamps has been cleared to plant palm oil. Such a terrible terrible situation for these amazing cousins of ours.

What a beautiful family of proboscis monkeys and how lucky I was to see them. They are very endangered and only live in Borneo. They live in the mangrove swamps which is rapidly being destroyed to make way for the planting of palm oil. The dominant male has a harem of wives. The females have smaller noses. The males’ noses get so big they have to lift them up to get food in their mouths! They have two stomachs which are fat and filled with gas which helps them to digest the poisonous leaves on which they feast. They are good swimmers and their back feet are webbed. I love these monkeys so much and can’t wait to go back to Borneo to see them again… Taken with Nikon D50.

Portrait of a False-Clown Anemonefish, Amphiprion ocellaris This host anemone’s amazing golden is unfortunately caused by bleaching. Similar to corals, when the water gets too warm the symbiotic algae in the anemone is expelled. Layang Layang, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia

A free-range baby orangutan sucking its thumb in Singapore Zoo, Singapore. This critically endangered species demonstrates significant intelligence, with an ability to reason and think. The orangutan is closest relatives, sharing 97% of the same DNA as humans. I’ve been to Borneo (Dec 2007) and was shocked at the amount of jungle cleared to make way for palm oil plantations. Close your eyes, and imagine flying into Sandakan on the east coast – as far as you can see there are rows upon rows of palm trees. Rows upon rows. Then more rows upon rows. Then more rows upon rows. “Orangutans are one of the most critically endangered of the great apes, due to poaching and habitat loss. Based on the World Bank’s estimation that mechanized logging in the Kalimantan forest, (Indonesian Borneo), will result in its total loss by 2010, and other statistics stating that wild orangutans are disappearing at a rate of 5,000 orangutans per year, optimistic predictions give the orangutan ten more years before extinction in the wild.” (Source: Borneo Orangutan Survival UK http://www.savetheorangutan.co.uk/index.php) Taken with Canon 5D, ISO 1250, f5.6, 1/50th sec, 100-400mm L Series Canon Lens @ 400mm, handheld, no flash, Auto white balance.

An Orangutan female – I noticed how beautiful her big eyes were and waited until she dropped her eyes downward to capture a moment of thought and solitude. I loved the idea that she was daydreaming and wondered what was going through her mind… Click to visit my animal photography & art blog! / Email me at durberville@optushome.com.au Subscribe by Email to Natalie Manuel Photography Find me at Flickr Join my facebook group More of my work on Redbubble* /

Sipadan Island off the east coast of Borneo, one of the top 5 dive spots in the world. I was fortunate to visit there in 2007 and I have been revisiting my photos of that amazing trip. This was on the boat trip home to Mabul Island after an unforgettable day of snorkeling the coral ree, swimming with its unique inhabitants, including green turtles. / Taken with the Nikon D200 I had at the time with my trusty Nikkor 12-24 wide angle lens.

This de-commissioned oil rig, about 500 metres off Mabul Island, Borneo, is set up as budget accommodation for divers. / I was fascinated by this quirky, brightly-coloured structure which seemed so incongruous in the island paradise setting we were saying in. HDR created with tonal adjustment. Taken with the Nikon D200 I had at the time with a Nikkor 12-24mm wide-angle lens.
