Wild orangutan peeking out of the forest, Tanjung Puting National Park, Kalimantan

---

Tanjung Puting National Park is an orangutan sanctuary on the banks of the Sekonyer River in Kalimantan Province of Indonesia on Borneo Island. A number of wild orangutans of all ages and sexes live in the forests around the river and they can be observed moving through the forest or at the several feeding stations that have been set up along the river. It is really quite amazing how human-like these great apes are, and their Malay name translates to 'Man of the Forest'.
