Foster Mason
Infant orphan Mason came to the Care Center in 2009 as a tiny bundle of orange. He must have been only a few months old at the time. But over the last year, he has grown considerably. He is still very shy. Whenever a human stranger arrives at the nursery, Mason hides up in a tree or clings behind his caregiver’s back. If a caregiver is not immediately available for protection, Mason clings tightly to one of his night enclosure roommates

Foster George Baru
When George first arrived at the Care Center, he was still tiny. His days consisted of clinging tightly to caregivers, and eating lots of bananas, and drinking plenty of milk. He did not enjoy exploring the forest since this involved leaving the warm embrace of his caregiver. Recently, however, there has been a change of character. Now this beautiful boy is often seen exploring the forest quite independently,

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. Surprisingly, when he was first brought to the Care Center, he was not at all interested in human contact and seemed very “wild.” However, as soon as Karbank reaches the first trees, he boldly takes off to explore.

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.

Meet Crystal, an orphaned female orangutan who was rescued and brought to the OCCQ when she was barely a year old. With a thick head of hair and a face full of attitude, it didn’t take long for Crystal to make an impression.
