Baby Orangutan Budi Refuses to Drink Milk @InternationalAnimalRescue

Who remembers Budi when he was this small?

In this clip, filmed shortly after he was rescued from a chicken cage by the BKSDA and brought into the care of our partners, YIARI, Budi was still adjusting to his new life. He wasn’t too keen on drinking his special milk—but little did he know, this formula was packed with the nutrients he so desperately needed.

Years of malnutrition had taken their toll, but this was the first step on his long journey back to health, and eventually FREEDOM!

$Cute Orphaned Orangutan Finds A New Mom #orangutans #wildlife Remember Randy? During our Christmas Appeal, many of you helped raise vital funds for orphaned orangutans like him, supporting our partners, YIARI’s surrogacy programme in Indonesia. Thanks to your kindness, we’re so pleased to share that Randy has now been paired with a surrogate mother: Seponti. When Randy was rescued during a joint operation by BKSDA West Kalimantan and our partners, YIARI, he was just two years old and being kept in a tiny cage in an illegal gold mining area in West Kalimantan. He was weak, undernourished and living in heartbreaking conditions, with barely enough room to turn around. He was being fed scraps of banana and bread, and vets also found evidence of earlier trauma in the form of a healed leg fracture. Now, Randy is making lovely progress in rehabilitation. Over the last couple of months, he has been getting to know Seponti, who was herself rescued as an orphan back in 2015. Their bond has been growing steadily, and Seponti is already showing encouraging signs of accepting Randy as her own by carrying him and being protective of him. Randy still has a long way to go, but this is such a positive step in his journey. Thank you for helping make moments like this possible. Your support is giving vulnerable young orangutans like Randy the care, comfort and guidance they need for a second chance at life.$
