These orangutans are such cuties!!! U're right about not using flash from camera. i once saw a person taking photos with his flash and poor those little creatures they were like trying to re-adapt to see after seeing too bright flash.

Hello Shenandoah, thanks for the visit and comments. Well, on my trip there, I did not see any of the other animals mentioned. Probably, they are kept inside to be rehabilitated for release in future. Anyway, I am sure they know what they are doing to help these animals.

I have visited the orang utan sanctuary. They are very nice and gentle and sooo loveable. Sadly to say that, the place they are keeping the other animals like bears, procupines, wild cats and some birds are sooo poor. Hygienically and comfortability. I think they are better off in the woods pretty than being caged in a so depressing way.

Best Regards,

Hi Mylo, thanks a lot. Most of the time I enjoy shooting nature and one of the best places to do this is in Sabah and Sarawak. Going there always makes me feel relaxed and the people of Sabah are so nice.

I've heard of Matang but never been there, probably next year when they open up the new resort.

David

I've always wanted to go there and visit my 'long lost cousins' Your pictures and wonderful write-up makes me even more excited!

David, I've seen similar raised platform (wooden walkway) at Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve, Taiping. Love the up, close and personal experience.

That junior orang utan is CUTE!!! The long-tail macaques are fierce and frightening.
