Abstract

Mount Murud is the highest mountain in Sarawak. It has high diversity and endemism of flora and fauna. Small mammal survey in Mount Murud was conducted in October 2008 using mist nets and live traps. A total of 17 individuals of small mammal comprising five species of Chiroptera, one species of Insectivora and one species of Scandentia were recorded.
