Photographer’s Note

Feeding time at Sepilok Orangutan rehabilitation center!

The orangutans came for fresh bananas, sugar cane and some milk! and the macacs join the feast!!!

The rangers manage to keep the macacs away while the Orangutans get the food, the macacs are tolerated by the orangutans that are a lot bigger than them.

This rehab center collects orangutans from the palm fields that occupied they home forest, or young ones that are somehow abandoned by theirs mothers.
In this place they are trainned to live again in the wild, and just come back for the feeding times for some times, hopefully after some time thy go back to the feed themselves in the forest.
