The Orang Utan feeding time is at 1000hrs. Witness the feeding of the Orang Utan. After the feeding session at Sepilok, continue the trip by visiting the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. The sun bear is the smallest, most arboreal and least known of the bear family measuring between 120–150 cm long and between 60-78 cm high at the shoulder. Unlike other bears, the sun bear's dark brown or black fur is short and sleek, probably due to the lowland climates it lives in. On their chest sits a pale beige horseshoe shape marking which gives the sun bear its name being said to resemble a setting or rising sun. Similar color fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. Sun bears in Borneo live in the forest. In fact, they are so clever at hiding themselves in the trees that you would be extremely lucky if you see one in the wild.
Lunch at Mango Garden restaurant, Sepilok.
