Video by Mattias A. Klum mattiasklumofficial | After a lot of hard trekking and work in the beautiful rainforest of Danum Valley, I finally managed to sneak up on this male argus pheasant. The great argus is native to the rainforest of Borneo, Sumatra, and the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia. This spectacular pheasant is suffering from the twin threats of habitat loss and hunting throughout its extensive range. It is undergoing rapid population reduction and is consequently classified as near threatened by IUCN. This was filmed in Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo for my documentary "The Testament of Tebaran."
