Species: Orangutan | Location: Sepilok , Borneo

A lovely organutan smiles for the camera at Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary in Borneo.  The sanctuary is a rare gem, as there are only four in the world.  It was founded to help rehabilitate the young or those who had been living in captivity.  Travelers visit this sanctuary on Natural Habitat Adventures' Borneo orangutan adventure.
