Rescued orangutans
Gunung shows off his new teeth!
A real cutie, Gunung, which means "mountain" in Bahasa Indonesian, is doing really well at our orangutan emergency rescue centre in Ketapang. Since his rescue he's recovered really well from his head wound and skin condition and through 24 hour care and regular feeds (every two hours or less) his weight is getting back up to a healthy range.Read Gunung's story on our Primate Diaries
