The feeding station located in the jungle reserve at the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Center near Kuching. The center is known for rehabilitating orangutans that had been illegally captured by re-teaching how to forage for food in the jungle so that they can one day be returned to the wild. Part of the rehabilitation process is to set the orangatuns free in a protected jungle reserve, where their natural foraging is supplimented with twice-daily feeding of fruit at a jungle feeding station located about 200m from the center's headquarters. Visitors are allowed to watch the feedings from about 40m away. It was quite an experience to see the orangutans come into the station from the jungle via the treetops, natural hagging vines and suspended cable provided to allow additional access to the orangutans, especially when you first see the first patches of red fur at the tops of the distant swaying trees high in the canopy, and then later see them directly overhead.
