Orangutans!

We visited the orangutan rehabilitation center at Sepilok. Basically, oragnutans that are orphaned or injured end up here and are cared for and gradually re-introduced into the wild. They have a ‘feeding time’ twice a day where orangutans that have been released can come and supplement the food they find in the wild with bananas and milk. Mostly the young orangutans return, as they get older they don’t like the human contact so much and are finding plenty of food in the wild.

These are pretty big for Sepilok, they are probably teenagers.

We stayed at this cool ‘junge resort’ near Sepilok. The plants are just amazing.
