There are a lot of other young
orangutans here, although most of them are older than me. They appear to
be very close friends with one another as they always hang out together
and venture out into the forest.
I have not been to the forest yet. I still
have got a lot to learn. My new mum (she does not look like me at all,
actually) lifts me onto a tree branch every morning. I think she wants
me to climb around but it is very hard work! Once I fell down. The branch
I was holding on just snatched. I don't remember much. Apparently, I passed
out and stopped breathing, but a veterinarian came and resuscitated me.
I have also got a friend at the moment. She
is called Lady. Every night my mum puts us into our little bedroom
where we sleep. I have got a little blanket that I curl up into but I feel
very lonely. If it was not for the poachers I would have still been with
my mum for many years to come... |
