Filmed at Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary in Malaysian Borneo during a Saga 'Borneo Adventure' holiday.
Arriving for the 3pm feeding session, we were making our way down the walkway & were slightly perturbed to see 2 orang utans walking very noisily along the handrail towards us. Our (amazing!) Saga Guide Cynthia went off to alert the rangers & told us to quietly walk back towards the entrance.
The young male decided he liked the look of Les, and attached himself to him - all credit to Les Beauchamp for the wonderful way he handled the situation.

Spice, Emerald and Sandra I have never seen anything like that. It sure would be an experience.
