This wet morning, we visited the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre near Kuching. It's home to 28 orangutang. Visitors are permitted between 9 & 10 am and 3 & 4 pm.
There's a serene creek near the gathering point.
The orientation instructions were simple: there are 28 orangutan on site. That doesn't meal you'll see any. If you do, be quiet. Only staff call them. Also, do not point any long thin objects at them. They may interpret your selfie stick as a blow pipe or a gun, and they won't react happily.
The park worker said at least three times to be quiet, and that you might not see anything. Don't expect to see any animals. It's fruiting season, and there is a lot of fruit in the jungle.
Oh look, something's happening in those trees
The main feeding platform
The orangutan that attracted all the attention earlier is on the way to the main feeding platform.
Spot the baby. Both babies in the park are male.
The crowd got pretty big -- at least 300 people.
Here comes one of the older ones.
The crowd moved back t the gathering spot, since Ricky, the 45-year-old male was headed in that direction.
We left before the crowd. Our next stop was the Fairy Cave.
