Thanks gdt78550, your opaque ramblings make, errr, challenging reading! But what do you think of the orang utang!?

Sepilok is the bomb.. They not only look after the orangutans, but there are a fair few other monkeys that have also immigrated to monkey paradise as well.

how do u work that out? they are not fenced in, have food readily available and are protected from poachers, ive seen them too, if it wasnt for tourists they would be struggling much more, as it is they have a very comfy life, if they didnt like it they could soon hide

I myself have been to see the orangutans in sepilok. I was disapointed i felt like they were on a show ! they are supsoed to be free and are performing to others!

Nice place, a bit staged as far as the public part goes but they do a lot of work in rehabilitation etc so its great. We went there and also Bario which IS is Sarawak. Bario is great place too especially if you want to relax in the wilds of the rainforest. I recommend Gems Lodge.

Nice video, jonathanwallace. However Sepilok's in Sabah, not Sarawak.
