Borneo - Nature Reserve

One morning the girls got to be wildlife rangers. They prepared the food for the orangutans, and got to feed some of the other animals on the reserve. Another day we all went on the orangutan walk where we watched the orangutans come down to the feeding platform. The purpose of the reserve is to eventually release these abandoned orangutans back into the wild.  On our walk we also spotted the green snake. The macaw was not a part of the reserve, but we spotted it outside our room in a tree most mornings. And, the monitor lizard made an appearance at the pool. It was a fun place for our animal loving girls!








We also took a nighttime firefly river cruise one night. We had no idea that many people around the world have never seen a firefly. The Australian and British people on our boat were  amazed by their first firefly sightings.
