A rare sight of Bornean orangutan mating in the forest. The wild male visits the Sepilok centre to 'check' on the new girls in town and he was well received by a semi wild female. The receptive female did no hesitation and lasted for a while! up in the vines of towering dipterocarp tree. Filmed at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia.
The orangutan mating system is based on a mixture of female choice and male harassment and coercion, and it is believed that this fierce completion for female mating opportunities has resulted in the extreme sexual dimorphism and arrested development, also known as ‘bimaturism’, seen in orangutan societies. Females mate promiscuously, and have been observed at different research sites exhibiting preferences for both flanged and unflanged males (Setia et al, 2009).
