more Borneo pictures















In the picture of the two monkeys with the white bucket, the bucket contains reconstituted powdered milk, which the monkeys love. After drinking their fill, the mother took the bucket up into he tree because one of the big males was coming to eat. When she and her child were done, she just dropped it to the ground and the ranger picked it up. The butterfly is called a tissue paper butterfly because when it flies, it looks like a tissue floating through the air. It is big, and we saw several. We went to a reforestation area where a very dedicated man grows seedlings. You can pay to plant a tree. He is responsible for the growing and planting of over 10,000 trees. He has kept a list of each one. We each planted trees that produce fruit that the various primates like. This area had previously burned from a human caused fire. You can see the front of the lodge, our boat captain and first mate, the view fromthe river out front of our cabin.
