Myself and Jacqui signed up for a tour to visit [Orang Utan Island])http://www.bukitmerahresort.com.my/orangutan.htm) at Burkat Merah Resort, where they care for abandoned Orang Utans and also breed them.

While it's a pretty small setup, the fact that Orangs have similar facial expressions and mannerisms as humans means you can sit and watch them for hours, and at times they seemed to be equally as fascinated with us.
