Mount Kinabalu
The towering Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, Southeast
Asia, is 13,435 ft (4,095 m) tall. It is covered by
forests from the lowlands to the mountaintop.
The forests are home to a huge variety of plants
and animals, and are protected in a national park.
Stinky flower
The rafflesia plant grows in Kinabalu’s
lowland rain forest. It has one of the
world’s largest flowers, which can be
as wide as 40 in (100 cm). It gives off
a strong smell that invites insects to
feast on its pollen.
