Borneo Orangutan Adventure | Sabah Malaysia | Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre | Sun Bears Centre

Thanks for watching another Rob Shaz Travels video of our adventure earlier this year in to Malaysia Borneo. After we spent some time in Kota Kinabalu and went to the Mari Mari Cultural village, then we made our way across to the East Coast of Borneo to the town of Sandakan. Sandakan is a well established Port Town on the coast of Borneo.
About 40 minutes drive from Sandakan is the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is located in the Sepilok Forest Reserve and was established in 1964 to care for and nurture orphaned Orangutans. We had a wonderful time walking around and checking out the Orangutan Nursery where the youngest of the Orangutans learn the skills to make there way out in to the big wide world.
There is a feeding platform where the adult and adolescent Orangutans can go to get food to supplement their diets and lucky people like us can go to observe them in a habitat that is close as we can get to their natural environment. It was a great experience.
Just adjacent to the Orangutan Centre is a Sun Bear Conservation Centre where you can go to observe the Sun Bears that are being cared for as they are threatened by deforestation and human mistreatment. This was also an experience that we won't soon forget.
Then it was time to head in to the town of Sandakan to take a look around at this City.

Beautiful video

[@robshaztravels]

Thank you 😀 we are glad you enjoyed it

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Welcome to sepilok

[@robshaztravels]

Thank you

[@emmaleeaman1110]

One fascinating thing is that both 🦧 & ☀️ 🐻 make “nests” up in the trees out of branches & leaves, to sleep. Fun to see some of that behavior in your footage!

[@robshaztravels]

@@emmaleeaman1110 it is so cute to see them snoozing all the way in the trees for sure 👍

[@charlesjc893]

Guys, you should have visited the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary.

[@robshaztravels]

Hey Charles we thought about it but after watching some other videos decided against it, they looked scary lol

[@acerazak4087]

​@@robshaztravelsNo, they are not..they rarely attack people..the macaque monkeys are way more aggressive and they're everywhere

[@emmaleeaman1110]

“Orangutan” or “orang” “utan” is completely from Bahasa language - meaning “orang” (person) and “utan” (forest), or “person of the forest”. Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesian are just different dialects of the same language. 🦧 And orangutan has the same name in both Malaysia & Indonesia :)

[@robshaztravels]

Thanks for that Emma good information 😊

[@azizi8921]

That term is to be differentiated between humans who also make forest as their home, i.e "orang asli/orang dayak" and the rest of us "orang bandar", "orang kampung", "orang putih" and many others orang. 🙂

[@keangwooichoo6138]

In mandarin, orangutan is called red fur ape.

[@robshaztravels]

Thank you for letting us know 🙏😀

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Sadly sabah's forest is getting smaller due to palm plantations.

[@robshaztravels]

It sure is and it is very sad :(
