Kalimantan’s wildlife is no less varied with almost 500 species of birds and more than 200 land mammals: ranging from the splendid peacock-tailed

Argus pheasant to tiny birds such as the pitta, from pesut or fresh water dolphin in Mahakam River to the most unusual primates - bekantan or proboscis monkey, and orangutan. The latter is specially protected and provided with an orangutan rehabilitation center in Central Kalimantan.
