Enclosure repaired but more work needed
Category: Orangutan Care Centre & Quarantine, Orangutans | Date: May 23 2008 | By: orangutanfoundation
Once again, thank you very much to everyone who donated to our request for funds to repair the orangutan enclosures at the Orangutan Care Centre & Quarantine. I was there today and can happily report the first round of repairs has been completed and the escapees are now back in their secure enclosure.
The repaired cage is the one in the middle.
And these are the occupants.
This photo was taken one second before he made a grab for the camera!
Unfortunately, there is still more to be done. Montana’s cage is getting thin and the youngsters on the other tower keep trying to pop out. May I ask again for your support? We guarantee all money raised will be spent on fixing the enclosures.
The youngster’s enclosure - rusting bars.
It is strange to have an orangutan hanging upside down looking directly at you!
Montana’s cage (above and below)
How long will these bars hold?
And a final photo included for no other reason than I thought this orangutan simply had the sweetest face. Your thoughts?

Aw, you know we love the posts with pictures. Last Monday I visited the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida and got to meet some really nice chimpanzees and orangutans. OK, the one chimp who attempted to spray me with a mouthful of water wasn’t so nice, but everyone else was sweet. I wrote about it in a blog post: http://nothoney.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/the-center-for-great-apes/
The last orang in your photos reminds me of Pebbles at the Center. She has the prettiest face and looks so sweet and so does the one you showed us here.
Also, I never knew that orangs are big flirts.
Donation coming …

How gorgeous, I wonder, is there still a Orang called Roland? I met him on a volunteer project and that is my partners name so I took an immediate liking to him!

I’m 62 yrs. old But I love to watch the orangutans. They are smart, very sweet and even cute. If I was younger I would be there with them. They make my day’s. Thank you for the pictures.
