Exploring Borneo's wildlife

Last Thursday I had booked a boat trip for Garama river to see those very strange Proboscis Monkeys in the deep jungle of the rainforest. This bignosed male person can only be found in Sabah. Well, we saw some but not near enough. The jungle river cruise with long-tailed quite aggressive macaques, one baby lizard plus beautiful birds was in a nice company worth of every penny. We were 2 Australians,2 Estonians, 2 Russians and me.
Early next morning I flew to Sandakan on the East coast of Sabah. After our flight our group of maybe 12 persons continued the voyage to Turtle Island by bus and by speed boat, arriving there early afternoon. Before that we had great fun watching ,when many macaques enjoyed jumpimg from high trees into the river and diving and swimming like Olympic Champions.We had a surprising good lunch, and then a marvellous time until sunset at the most beautiful beach, except some of us, who not much later decided to enjoy some good very cool Tiger beer in a shadowy place.
So I met German Thomas 43, his Russian/Peruvian wife Christina 40, their friend Rainer 28, from Germany too, and little later Jan 29, from Poland and his very pretty girl friend Alison 26, from San Diego, California. All of them working at time being in China in different companies. And we had a good time and dozens of Tigers! I enjoyed the company of Jan and Thomas very much, and there was no limit of issues to discuss.
We had to wait until midnight before the first turtle (95 x86) came to lay her eggs, 74 all together. The local rangers collected immediately those eggs to let them develope in safe place. I do not remember what that place was called. This turtle was a newcomer, it had not been marked before. Then we saw how rangers let 60 tiny turtles, not more than ten cm each , run into the ocean to grow up. Only three turtles came that night to lay their eggs, but almost 400 pieces of them.
Next morning we returned to mainland to see the Orang Utans, our second cousins 96,4%
human being, after the chimps 98%. Deep in the rainforest they have Sepilok Orang Utang Rehabilitation Centre, where young found ,maybe wounded creatures are healed and trained to the condition that they can return on their own to the jungle. In some cases it might take really long time. Those second cousins of us were so funny, if not just like anybody's neighbors, arguing and loving, so human. Orang Utan means "Man of the Forest".
Back in Kota Kinabalu and in "Rumba" of Le Meridien late in the evening with El Fuego.
