They say it’s not about reaching the top of the mountain, it’s the climb. This analogy works perfectly to describe the journey of Budi the orangutan. When we first met Budi, he was malnourished, extremely weak and in unimaginable amounts of pain. His caretakers at International Animal Rescue worried that this 10-month-old orangutan would not be able to overcome these physical ailments, but time and time again Budi has proven that he’s a fighter.
After starting physical therapy to help reduce the swelling in his limbs, resultant from being fed only condensed milk for months, Budi is starting to climb. Climbing is an important skill that Budi will have to perfect if he is going to thrive in the wild, so his rescuers are working as hard as they can to get him up and swinging (literally).
With some snacks to motivate him to keep on climbing, Budi scales the frame of his hammock with the ease of a true pro. While all this work and physical therapy might be exhausting, we know that Budi will keep climbing towards the ultimate prize, his release back into the wild. Good luck, little buddy!
I have been following Budi\’s progress since I first read about him. This video & up-dated report is just heart warming.
