Having gotten used to the time zone in Sabah, I get up really early in the morning. It’s bright out at 7, and if I get up any later than that I’d get a tan in bed. So, I washed up and got some breakie. The package included a shuttle service to the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation center, which was a 15 minute drive in the direction of Sandakan town.

Entrance fee was RM5 for Malaysians and I paid RM10 on top of that to bring my camera in to shoot some orang utans.

Whoops. Not these two.

Since it’s a rehabilitation center, they still feed them good nutricious bananas and sugar cane. Depending on how hungry or lazy the orang utans are [like humans .. ], they’ll come out and get their daily ration. Even the monkey gets a share.

They come out aclimbing .. swinging and all.

If they resemble humans so much, I wonder if they ever feel embarassed.

I’m sorry for putting such indignified photos of orang utans but truth be told .. they’re really cute. The way they move, swing on the ropes, and grab all the food for themselves … do resemble humans. Particularly Malaysians, on the last part. Hehe. The shuttle van came by to take us back to the operations base.
