Komeng


Here is the story of such a wonderful little orangutan from Samboja Lestari where our



Sadly at the age of just 18 months, Komeng lost his mother and became very depressed without her. He needed companionship and comfort.
Despite spending his days climbing in the trees around the vet clinic, Komeng just was not happy. Staff tried him with another orangutan mother who had lost her baby, but he did not like this, they tried giving him a babysitter, but he was still not happy.
He needed the company of another orangutan, not human. Finally, one day, Komeng met 11year old Jovan. The instant Komeng arrived, he stared at Jovan and proceeded to steal all his food. Jovan had a good look at Komeng, checked him over, and gave Komeng the rest of his food that he was holding. Since then they have been inseparable, and finally Komeng is back to his happy healthy self, thanks to the hard work and dedication of all the BOS staff at Samboja Lestari!
Thank you so much Wiwik for your great photos and help!
