Our furry cousins

After being in the Jakarta area for a couple weeks we decided to fly north to Sumatra to see some of the only oragutans living in the wild. Let me tell you orangutans are amazing creatures that are unbelievably flexible, and can manipulate a tree like no one's business. We got to the little town where all the treks are organized and signed up to go the next morning. While on a seven hour trek we we lucky enough to see two sets of mothers, each with two babies. One of the moms got so close to us (the guide gave her some sugar canes) that we could hear her chewing!
