I'm here!

A short trip into the jungle to come face to face with this exhibitionist. Our guide had us comprehensively warned about all the dangers of getting too close. Being urinated on, having your water bottle grabbed, or your bag taken if there is any fruit inside. Or maybe the fate worse than death that Julia Roberts is alleged to have escaped narrowly on the film set.

But none of that happened. These noble, endangered animals - whose genetic fingerprint is 97% identical to ours - are, of course, the orang utan. In Malaysian this means "jungle man". They are only to be found in Malaysia and Sumatra.
