Sabah's Kinabatangan River is the second longest river in Malaysia, running some 560 kilometres from its source in the mountains of the south-west to the Sulu Sea, east of Sandakan. Blessed with one of the world's richest ecosystems, including the largest forest covered flood-plain in Malaysia, the river supports five distinct habitats, from limestone forests to saline swamps, providing a haven for some of Borneo's richest concentrations of wildlife. There are saltwater crocodiles and indigenous proboscis monkeys, Asian elephants and Sumatran rhinos, as well as all eight species of hornbill.
