Monkey Business

As you can see there was lots of monkey madness in Borneo. I did see some Proboscis and Macaques in the wild when we did our jungle stay but all my pictures were taken in sanctuarys where they live semi-wild. It's a protected environment where those animals that aren't as well adapted to life in the wild can come back to feeding platforms at certain times although aout 75% of them don't actually return, prefering instead to go back to living independently. The Orangutans have to have been my favourite, absolutely gorgeous and the main reason I wanted to go to Borneo in the first place. Sadly you aren't able to get any closer than this though which is probably just as well as I may have tried to steal one.
As mentioned the proboscis were weird ugly bugs but kind of cool - those who have received postcards will know that this picture is a censored version.....
Finally a little Silverleaf monkey and baby, which was really funny, he hadn't quite got his co-ordination sussed yet so spent most of the time falling over - amused me anyway.
