Wingham have announced the arrival of 1:0 Bornean Orang-utan from Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre named 'Jin'
A move for him at last! But I wonder if he'll be staying there or just held till he's needed elsewhere?
2:0 Bornean Orang-utan to Wingham Wildlife Park from France, named 'Dayak' and 'Belayan', originating from ZooParc de Beauval
Sadly, the fire at Krefeld Zoo also wiped out the entire Bornean orang-utan family consisting of 1:0 Bunyu, 1:0 Changi, 0:1 Lea, 0:1 Sungai and 0:1 Suria
Kristiansand Dyreparken is planning on updating their Bornean Orang-utan enclosure with the construction of a new house and island, to go alongside the current enclosure. Zoo Planckendael is said to be going into Orang-utans (species not specified) as part of a refurbishment of the Asia house. This will mean Plankendael will be the third holder of Orang-utans in Belgium, alongside Safari Parc Monde Sauvage and Pairi Daiza. Now named name 'Arga'
Planckendael will probably keep the Bornean subspecies of orang, given the information in the draft of the architect.
