Orangutans get everywhere and meet the strangest people!!!!

Whilst on a little visit to London yesterday, we noticed this little cheeky chap living it up at the STA headquarters..........







A little later after our meeting we bumped in to him eating his lunch and relaxing........







.....and then you would never guess who we caught him schmoozing with???................................








...lucky just isn't the word!!!!Keep your eyes peeled for more of his antics and he still needs a name, so more suggestions welcome!

thanks jacksparrowforhire!

Here is a great little video from one of our volunteers, Helen Cogman, of Doris and Ting San playing in their enclosure at Matang Wildlife Centre where we run the Sarawak Orangutan Volunteer project. Here you get the chance to work alongside amazing animals just like these two as well as a huge range of other animals included clouded leopards, sun bears and binterong!

Leo (the orangutan!!!) and his ladies



Great news for lonely heart orangutan Leo who has been living on his own on one of the islands in Samboj Lestari. He finally has some female company in the form of Mona, Elisa and Juminten, who were recently released on to the island to join him!






And that's not even the best bit........despite a long time in cages, within minutes of being on the island one of the girls started to build herself a nest! Natural instincts at their best!
