A splash in the river caught our team’s attention during their visit to Kalimantan. It turned out to be a collared mongoose (Herpestes semitorquatus) taking a swim 🏊
Native to Borneo, also found across Sabah, collared mongooses are usually found in forested habitats and are known to be mostly terrestrial. Seeing one confidently crossing the river was an unexpected field encounter!
