rafflesia in full bloom - "Borneo’s Rafflesia is found mainly in the rainforests of Sarawak and Sabah. This parasitic flower grows to a diameter of more than 3 feet across with a weight of up to 22lbs. and is part of a family of about 20 species..."
Rafflesia One of the rarest and largest flowers in the world is found only in Borneo and Sumatra! The Rafflesia flower starts as a small bud and can take over a year to flower. Rafflesia plants are parasitic, lacking both leaves and roots. The five fleshy, petal like lobes resemble dead meat and through chemical reaction the flower generates a strong odor of rotting flesh. This attracts carrion feeders drawn by the fleshy color pattern and the stench! The flower only lasts a few days.

Nepenthes spectabilis North Sumatra
Borneo, in the rain forest: A small woolly bat and its roost, the pitcher of the pitcher plant Nepenthes rafflesiana. Usually, these carnivorous plants get their extra nitrogen from the carcasses of trapped insects. This species, however, uses the feces of bats for this purpose as has been discovered by researchers of the University of Würzburg. Photo: Michael Schöner

The Weird and Wonderful Animals and Plants of Borneo | Photo Explorer
Long thought to be identical to the clouded leopards living on mainland South East Asia, genetic analysis has shown that the Bornean big cat is in fact a separate species. Its 2 inch canine teeth are the longest of any living feline and lead to comparisons with the long-extinct sabre-tooth tiger.
