There are ‘predators’ among the animals in Danum Valley, however, they are naturally shy and stay away from humans.  No animal will attack you without any causes, usually only when the animals are frightened and trying to defend themselves.  So far, we have not had any animal-related accidents and we like to keep it that way.  So be cautious and keep your distance, this will make you and the animals feel more comfortable.  Besides, keeping distance usually will allow you a longer viewing time and more photo opportunities. 
 
A word of cautious must be said about the smaller but sometime more dangerous stingers like centipede, scorpion, bees/wasps and snakes.  It is advisable to stay away from these potentially dangerous animals that can give a painful sting or bites.
