• Sepilok - Sandakan

Inside I saw the massive alpha male on the feeding platform along with so many more. He charged through the centre and created massive commotion which was funny. The nursery was also so cute.

Before that, went to the sun bear reserve which was really cool, just two viewing platforms to see the bears that have been rescued from illegal trade or bad treatment.
