From the case: The island of Borneo may be one of the wildest places on the planet. Deep in these jungles, Jeff encounters a herd of wild Asian elephants, orphan orangutans (Pongo), reclusive proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus), and leeches before he captures two deadly snakes. From the disc index: Join Jeff Corwin on his adventure in Borneo. Travel the Kinabatangan River to observe tree frogs, track Asian elephants, and visit with primates. Explore the unique ecosystem of the Gomantong Caves. See swarms of bats eating on insects and the swiftlets that coexist with them. Discover how swiftlet nests are harvested. Discover a variety of unusual animals: the proboscis monkey, one of the rarest primates in the world; the venomous mangrove snake; sea turtles; and the yellow-lipped sea krait of Snake Island.
