Primate

Semengoh Orangutan sanctuary is near to Kurching in Borneo. It is a large area of forest and the 35 Orangutans that live there are semi wild and come to the feeding area 2 times a day for their bananas and coconuts. The setup there is really good and the animals have a lot of space and independence and with the few trips that we spent there, each one was different. I hadn't really known what to expect here and with little experience of wildlife photography, I was probably a bit unprepared. These photos were taken with an Infrared camera which gave an ethereal, almost abominable snowman look to the Orangutan's as well as revealing a certain vulnerability and grace.
