A husband-and-wife team of documentary filmmakers from Hollywood captured the people and wildlife of bygone days.

Wild elephants and exotic proboscis monkeys. Mudskipper fish that walk on land and great apes with the strength of several men.... In 1921, moviegoers in the US were awestruck by the incredible creatures showcased in Jungle Adventure, shot in the untamed jungles of Sabah (then British North Borneo).
