You would not believe it if you could not see it with your own eyes. Squirrels and snakes that fly, flowers as big as coffee tables, butterflies as big as birds and owls as small as butterflies, plants that eat insects (and small mammals), pigs with beards that swim rivers and climb trees to eat cocoa and full grown deer as small as cats.

These are just some of the flora and fauna that inhabit the rainforest. As the author Somerset Maugham said: 'Things are just different in Sarawak." The great thing is these wonders are on show daily in Sarawak's rainforest. It's a forest where a single hectare can contain more varieties of trees than the whole of North America and one tree can support more than a thousand types of insects.

There are two worlds in the forest; one on the forest floor and another a hundred or two hundred feet above in the tree canopy where giant spiders feed on birds.
