Today we visited sepilock orangutan rehabilitation center.
The center was set up in the 1960s to rescue orphaned baby orangutans and those kept by people as pets.
The center takes in the young and moves them through a series of areas where they are taught to survive in the wild again.
The center is completely open to the forest and the rehabilitated orangs leave whenever they are ready and come back if they want to.
Many come back for feeding time each day depending on how much food they have found the day before.
We went through the info center and learnt a lot about them ( they share 96% of the same DNA as us !) then we headed to the feeding platform to see them.
Only three were there today but there were many other monkeys too – pig tailed makaks and silver makaks.
