A lonely Orang Utan (a type of ape). In Malay language “orang” means human, “utan” or “hutan” means jungle. Yes, it is the human of the jungle. It looks similar to human especially when they show their expressions like human being.

Right after we have visited the Kubah National Park, we made use of our ticket to enter this wildlife center without any extra charges, we still had the time, and we took a 15 minutes distance by car to reach here.
According to the map, we were actually taking a big round, but the direct path would be through the jungle which take hours climbing up and down. Which one would you take?

Orang Utan is the main attaction here.
Please take time to watch the video that I have taken on Orang Utan.

If it is a human hand, the caption would be, “Help… help…!”

Another type of ape.

Deers. (I guess)

Some of them have antler on their heads. May be that’s an easier way to differentiate which one is the male and female.

We were given a map before we entered the wildlife center and were told that some places we should not go because some fo the apes were released to the nature and they might attack human.
I wondered if the ticket seller at the entrance who gave me the map have ever walked into the park. She used a pen to draw this and that onto the map but finally ended up that we reached an area where it was not on the map and we could not find some sections that were labelled on the map. We almost missed Orang Utan. We had to walk on the road inside the park, and there was no proper signboard to tell us where to go, and the map seemed to have something wrong.

Finally, We forgot about map and put it aside, and we explored by ourselves. Our conclusion about this park is:- ”It is big but SMALL“. Why? It is big because we had to walk for quite a distance to see the wildlife (wasting time
), but the number of animals is small. We were disappointed because there were not many animals there. Another main reason, we were exhausted and tired to continue walking (after we have spent the whole day in Kubah Nationaal Park), we were just there for about 30 minutes and left.
It was just like a big house with no furniture, or a beautifully designed website with no content.
I hope the condition of this wildlife center can be improved especially on the signboard to show the direction, do not let any part of it to be closed down.

I like this pose. Animal can kneel down to show respect too.
Another good example is a baby goat usually kneel down to drink milk from its mother to show respect. It is grateful whereas not all human beings are like that.

If is quite challenging while taking photos of animal behind the fences. First, the auto focus may not work properly, because most of the time it will focus on the fence instead of the animal. Second, it becomes worst when the animals keep on moving which add the difficulty to manual focus.

Some of the pictures here are taken under manual focus mode, I should have shown you the pictures of hornbill ( a type of big bird that can be found in Borneo island), but all of them are blur because it was quite difficult for me to focus under low light condition and the hornbills were moving.

Leopard Cat. Read the following for details:-

Some of the wildlifes were labelled properly with detail description, but not all.
If I am not mistaken, I have seen one of the description about the Orang Utan that says, “its hands are 10 times more powerful than human.”

Do and Don’t in the park.

We saw this signboard not far from the entrance and we are interested in some of the Waterfall. They are all jungle trails which take hours. We will try these trails next time.
