When Budi the orphaned orangutan first arrived at International Animal Rescue’s (IAR) Orangutan Rehabilitation Center, his caretakers braced themselves for the worst. The little orangutan spent the first 10 months of his life in a chicken cage as a pet. Fed nothing but condensed milk, Budi was extremely malnourished and barely had the strength to hold himself up.
Jemmi, another rescued orangutan orphan, came to IAR in a similarly dismal state. He too was a victim of the exotic pet trade and had been kept in isolation for the first few months of his young life.
Looking at Budi and Jemmi, you’d never guess that both had known such tragedy at such an early age. Thanks to IAR’s care and a proper diet, the two orangutans are well on their way to a full recovery. Now that the worst is over, these two happy friends can spend their days relaxing, playing and enjoying snacks in their hammock. That’s a life we could get used to!
