But he was only beginning to yawn …
Read about the great work done at this centre, as the volunteers help rehabilitate abandoned and rescued orangs for a life outside.

Now thats what I call a scary face!! Superb image and a great job that the centre do.
It WAS scary, I must admit, as I was leaning over a very steep sloping barrier, it was raining quite heavily, and he looked VERY cross – but as you can see in shot #3, he was just warming up for a yawn!

Don’t need any braces, that’s for sure!
Right moment to capture, really terrifying!
But he was only yawning!!! Appearances are so deceptive:)
– Denzil
Oh sh#@……………….run for your life!!!!
I was quite glad that he was behind a VERY big and thick wall, about 6 metres high, or even more. But in fact he wasn’t anywhere as cross as he looked!

Wholly Shmacks!!!
I have never seen such a thing. Wow…these bad boys can look fierce. Excellent capture.
Thanks!! it was an amazing thing to see!!!
– Denzil
That’s superb. I hope you weren’t in nipping distance!
No way!!! Although I wouldn’t have liked my chances if I’d fallen in! I’m so lucky to have seen this chap, and to be able to tell people about the work at the Matang Centre.

Holy Cow, that’s awesome.
Yes, awesome is the most accurate description, I agree!!!
