<p>FriendWaffle: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Borneo_Topography.png|thumb|200px|Topographic map of Borneo]]<br /> [[Image:Borneo sat.jpg|thumb|200px|Satellite image of Borneo]]<br /> '''Borneo''' is a large island of south east [[Asia]], lying to the east of the Malaysian [[peninsula]]. It is bounded by the [[South China Sea]], the Java Sea, the Macassar Strait, the Celebes Sea and the Sulu Sea. With a land area of 287,863 square miles (745,561 sq km) it is the third largest island in the world (after [[Greenland]] and [[New Guinea]]).<br /> <br /> Politically, Borneo is divided between three nations. By far the largest part of the island (Kalimantan) forms part of [[Indonesia]]. Parts of the north of the island, known as Sarawak and Sabah, belong to [[Malaysia]]. Small enclaves within the Malaysian section form the independent and oil-rich Sultanate of [[Brunei]].<br /> <br /> Much of the island is mountainous and covered by jungle or rain forest. It is home to numerous indigenous peoples, many of whom have had only very limited contact with the outside world. Up until the early 1920's, it was believed that human-flesh eating cannibals inhabited the island.<br /> <br /> The [[orangutan]] is native to Borneo and neighbouring [[Sumatra]]. The island is also home to very many other native species, and is noted for its ecological diversity.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Islands]]</div>

Cats are considered the friendliest of all animals. Today the domestic cat remains extremely popular as a [[pet]]; there are an estimated 76 million pet cats in the [[United States]].<br /> <br /> Species of cat include the [[lion]], [[tiger]], [[leopard]], [[cheetah]], [[jaguar]], [[puma]], [[cougar]], [[ocelot]], [[lynx]], [[caracal]], [[serval]] and many smaller breeds.<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> <br /> *[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,290840,00.html | FOXNews.com - Oscar the Cat Predicts Nursing Home Deaths]<br /> <br /> {{Nb_zl_felines}}<br /> [[Category:Felines]]<br /> [[Category:Domestic Animals]]</div>
