— What You Can Expect —
The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre was established in 1964 to rehabilitate orphaned baby orangutans. Set in the lush 4,300-hectare Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve, the Centre under the administration of the Wildlife Department of Sabah attracts tourists and researchers alike, giving them the opportunity to observe orangutans up close in their natural habitat. 

View the apes being fed milk and bananas daily by rangers from a viewing platform. Learn more about rhinoceros conservation, research, and help for other endangered species. Keep to the walkways; some orangutans have become familiar with people, but touching them is strongly discouraged; while the apes are naturally shy and gentle, the more mischievous ones may try to grab your camera or hat, in which case, guests should call a ranger for safety. 

See the sun bear, the smallest, most arboreal, and least studied bear species, and the second-rarest after the giant panda. The pale horseshoe shape on their chests is said to resemble the setting or rising sun, hence their name. No two markings are alike. They have a tongue that is 20 to 25 cm long. Sun bears live in tropical lowland forests and are the only bears in Southeast Asia. They are primarily diurnal and do not hibernate, instead sleeping in tree nests. They are omnivores, eating invertebrates, fruit, and honey primarily.
