The orangutan has been one of my favourite animals since I
was tiny. They're really intelligent and are said to be the closet living things to humans, yet they are often mistreated. In less than 10 years there may not be any left in the world, which would be awful. |
| Day 1
Tina: "We all visited the Monsopiad Cultural Village this evening, which is where the legendary Kadazan Warrior lived. It was really spooky to see 39 human skulls, which are from the people he headhunted."
Day 2
 | Jon: "I took a boat trip down the Kinabatangan River today and was really lucky to see an orangutan with its baby, hanging from a tree. The best bit though was seeing a herd of wild Asian elephants that some WWF trackers had managed to find. I never thought it would be possible to get so close to them. It was amazing!" |
Day 3
 | Jon: "I finally got to meet my animal face-to-face today, as we spent the day with Orang utans. There was one that was a real show-off and was very cheeky - a bit like me I suppose. He just wanted to be near us and hold our hands. I even managed to give him a quick cuddle at one point, after he dropped down off a rope into my arms. The thought of there possibly not being any Orangutans left in the wild in less than 10 years is just awful." | Jo: "Tina and I flew from Langkayan Island today by helicopter to meet up with Jon. We'd spent yesterday there and helped release some baby turtles back into the sea. It was really sweet to see them work their way down the beach into the water. They were so tiny and cute!"
