Female Orangutan at Gomantong.
I can't remember what this creature was called, but from the end of it's back legs to the end of the feelers at the front, probably 20cm long, and lives in Gomantong cave, pictured below.
Denise, and Eryanto, our guide, stood at the top of a bat guano hill, looking up at a further, even bigger, guano hill. About a quarter of a million bats roost in the cave system.
The village buildings outside the cave are the homes of the locals that protect the caves and the local wildlife. This female and her baby are wild and free, and just happened to be around the buildings as we came out of the caves.
Female Orang Utan just outside Gomantong cave, in the wild, but on the edge of a village.
