Kuching, Malaysia - October 12, 2018: A playful orang utan chimpanzee apes stretches arms and legs to hold onto ropes at the Semenggoh Nature Reserve wildlife sanctuary in Kuching, Sarawak, East Malaysia. The Semenggoh Wildlife Centre of Semenggoh Nature Reserve is the biggest Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in Sarawak. It was established in 1975 as a sanctuary for Orangutans who are injured, orphaned or being kept captive as illegal pets. The centre serves as a habitat for the Orangutans and also a place for visitors to learn about the endangered rare species and has a population of healthy adolescent and young adult semi-wild Orangutans. They spend most of their time roaming the forest but often return to the centre during feeding times to get a free meal from caretakers.
