Description: This image showcases the Many-lined Sun Skink (Mabuya multifasciata), a mesmerizing reptile species, as it rests peacefully at night on a branch hidden within the underegrowth of a primary rainforest in Danum Valley, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia. The intricately patterned skink, with its vibrant lines and scales, blends seamlessly with the lush foliage, highlighting the harmony between the creature and its natural habitat. The rainforest, teeming with a rich biodiversity of wildlife, including amphibians and various reptile species like this sun skink, continues to be a vital historical and ecological treasure trove. 3. Context: The Many-lined Sun Skink is a common lizard species found in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, including Borneo.

However, this image reveals a rare and intriguing glimpse into their nocturnal behavior. The Danum Valley Conservation Area, home to this stunning photograph, is a renowned research center and protected area, dedicated to the preservation of Borneo's unique rainforest ecosystem and its diverse inhabitants. 4.
