Day At The Zoo
Wow - instead of just a quick visit to inspect the orangutan enclosure at Low Kowie zoo, we were treated to a full VIP preview of the facilities and the exhibits by Melvyn, the ranger who recently left Sepilok to transfer to the zoo!
I was well impressed - the orangutan, proboscis monkey, elephant and aviary enclosures in particular were superb!
I'll let the pictures do the talking here:
First the orangutan enclosure...
Some of the other animals,
L to R: Asian Elephant, Proboscis Monkey, Malaysian Tiger and Mynah Bird...
Suffice to say we left happy in the knowledge that Bidai will be as free as he possibly can be here at KK zoo.
7 hours in a bumpy Landrover later and we were back at Sepilok to share the story and photos with the others.
Big grins all round and a real sense of achievement. Very few people will get a chance to do what we have these past 2 days!
