Tabin Wildlife Reserve:

 

Tabin Wildlife Reserve has more than 70 mammal species spanning 27 families recorded within its 122,000‑hectare expanse. The reserve once hosted Malaysia’s last wild Sumatran rhinoceroses (now extinct locally), but today remains a stronghold for the Borneo pygmy elephant, wild Banteng (tembadau), and significant populations of sambar, muntjac, and mouse deer. Tabin supports 8 primate species, including orangutans,  silvered and red leaf langurs, gibbons, pig‑tailed and macaques, as well as slow loris and western tarsier.

The reserve is also notable for its carnivores: Sunda clouded leopards—estimated at 8–17 individuals per 100 km²—represent the top predator, alongside smaller wild cats like the Sunda leopard cat, marbled cat, and flat‑headed cat, plus a variety of civets and mustelids. Sun bears, otters, moonrats, flying squirrels, and the enigmatic Sunda colugo further enrich this mammalian tapestry.
