There are resident Orang Utan in the reserve itself before the place was turn into sanctuary for the Orang Utan. Those brought in to Sepilok will have a mark on the left leg and will be monitor for few years etc. Then they do released them back to the wild. So the Centre is doing a great job.Sometimes during fruiting season, you don't see Orang Utan at the feeding platform because there are plenty fruits in the forest. So not guarantee to see Orang Utan too. Zoo does guarantee!Access road to Gomantong Cave is great with Hornbills, Babblers, Pittas, Trogon and Kingfishers. Around the cave itself also good with Raptors such as Bat Hawk, Jerdon's Baza and Peregrine Falcon. Occasionally can get the Bornean Falconet too.The night walk at RDC runs few times in a week and it is depends with the no of visitors that signed up for the walk. My opinion is better to join the night walk at the sanctuary itself because the Rangers gets many interesting nocturnal wildlife. If you wanted to see the Red Giant Flying Squirrel around 6PM at RDC, go to the second bridge that leads you to the Trogon Tower. One big tree where the Slender-billed Crow always perched during day time, that also the place for the Squirrel.</blockquote>
