EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the lush primary rainforest of Danum Valley Conservation Area in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia, a tiny yet agile creature scurries up and down a tree trunk with an unyielding determination. This is the elusive Plain Pigmy Squirrel (Exilisciurus exilis), a rare and fascinating mammal endemic to the Asian rainforests. The Plain Pigmy Squirrel is a small rodent, measuring only around 15 cm in length, with a bushy tail that is almost as long as its body. Its fur is a uniform brown color, making it blend seamlessly with the forest floor and tree trunks. The squirrel's nimble paws and sharp claws allow it to climb trees with incredible agility, moving upside down as easily as right-side up. As the sun sets and the forest comes alive with the sounds of nocturnal creatures, the Plain Pigmy Squirrel emerges from its daytime hiding place. It runs impetuously up and down the tree trunk, searching for food, primarily seeds and fruits. Its quick movements and small size make it a difficult creature to spot, even for experienced forest explorers. The Plain Pigmy Squirrel is an essential part of the rainforest ecosystem, playing a role in seed dispersal and contributing to the overall health and balance of the forest. Its presence is a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in the world's rainforests, and the importance of preserving these habitats for future generations. This photograph captures a rare moment in the life of this elusive creature, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of the Plain Pigmy Squirrel and the primary rainforests of Borneo. The image is a testament to the beauty and mystery of the natural world, and a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species and their habitats.
