Update on Andi the Orangutan

Category: Orangutan Foundation Staff | Date: Jul 03 2009 | By: orangutanfoundation

Stephen blogged about the female orangutan Sawit and her adopted son Andi, back in January 2008, when they were released into Lamandau Wildlife Reserve. Andy was found injured in April and it is thought he was attacked by a male orangutan. He has been treated and kept in the quarantine enclosure at Camp Rusak. Having successfully recovered from his injuries he was given the okay at the end of May and he is now back in the forest and is doing well. We hope he will stay out off trouble!

Another piece of good news is that Andy’s adopted mother, Sawit, is four months pregnant.

This is good news for Andi and also very exciting for Sawit. Do you have an idea who the father is? I wonder how Lady Di’s arm is getting on?
Thanks for all the interesting posts
