Orangutanfastic Borneo!

Today I visited the Sepilok Orangutan Rescue Center.  Most of these guys below have been rescued due to deforestation, injury, illness, or other reasons.  There was one very old man who was in with his group and being given antibiotics to treat an infection.  The center is only open for two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon (times when they're fed).  Sometimes, you don't see any orangutans because there is an abundance of fruit on the trees currently, so many fend for themselves.  I felt so lucky to see some of these magnificent creatures!  SO lucky!  Met some very nice people and shared this wonderful experience with them.  We were all just .  .  .  well, HAPPY!
A nice couple from Australia bought me a coconut and corn popsicle after the second viewing. (Terima Kasih Ian and Kerry).   A (slightly) bizarre but surprisingly yummy finish to a perfect day!  Below - the stars of the show!
