Primate pics

After we’d returned from the Kinabatangan river, we had time to pop back to the Sepilok Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre. The afternoon feeding session was as good as the morning one we’d been to a few days earlier.

Feeding time over, we returned to the jungle lodge we’d stayed at previously and had another relaxing evening. Before our flight back to Kota Kinabalu the next day, we just had time to squeeze in a final dose of primates at the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary. We’d really enjoyed seeing them at Bako National Park, and as this is the only part of the world in which you can see these big nosed monkeys, we decided to take this opportunity to see them again.

_{The male group feeding – these guys all want to be the leader of the female group. The alpha male spent a lot of time charging about making noises and asserting his dominance. It was quite intimidating}
