I visited Medan and Lake Toba in North Sumatra but did not get a chance to visit the nearby Bukit Lawang Rehabilation Center, Bohorok, North Sumatra. I have met before a Japanese photographer who showed me a photo an orangutan in the tree eating durian - a thorny thick outer skin aromatic fruit. Sumatran tigers are also a threatened species. Orangutan rehabilation center in Bukit Lawang, near Bohorok, North Sumatra. Thanks to Ammy of Singapore who was visiting North Sumatra.
