Foster Karbank
Karbank may seem a little shy when he first leaves his night enclosure and is taken out into the forest, letting go of his caretaker’s hand in a hesitating manner.

Foster Benjamine
Benjamine approaches life with wide-eyed enthusiasm, meandering across the forest like a raindrop drifting down a windowpane. She seems to suffer from the affliction FOMO (fear of missing out) so she is always drawn to where the action is, be it in the playground or the surrounding forest.

Foster Proudfoot
Most of the orphaned orangutans who arrive at the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) are at first shy and bewildered. It takes time for the caregivers to earn their trust and to give the newly arrived orangutan orphans their self-esteem back. Not so with Proudfoot. Despite the circumstances in which she arrived at the care center as a recently orphaned infant, Proudfoot was and is a healthy orangutan developing apace.
