The Orangutans in Borneo (both the Malaysian and Indonesian sides) and Sumatra are the only great apes outside of Africa.  We visited the Sepilok  Orangutan Sanctuary in Malaysia years back and couldn't wait to see these vulnerable to extinction, personality-plus, apes again.

Only one Orangutan appeared this morning at Pondok Tanggui but what an Orangutan!  The ultimate Alpha Male, around 20 years old, in the prime of manhood. Please don't forget to Subscribe Share and Like. Thanks.
