HISTORY
Saturnus was one of the infamous Bandit Boys back in forest school and always kept Lone entertained with his cheeky antics. She knew his rebellious nature would serve him well in a more wild setting. The night before Saturnus was to be moved to the Island Lone thought it best to move him to a holding cage to keep him out of trouble; but as per usual Saturnus’ mischievous nature shone through and he slipped out of his cage to go and catch up with his buddies.

LIFE ON ORANGUTAN ISLAND
When Saturnus arrived on Orangutan Island he acted as though he was in heaven; so much space and so many females sent him into a frenzy of flirtation and creative attention seeking. Jasmine was the first object of his affection and he tried everything from cabbage hats to commando rolls to get her attention but just as he was getting somewhere with his antics Hamlet invaded and stole his girl. Saturnus was no match for the huge Hamlet so he joined with his team of Bandit Boys to attack the intruder and helped Jasmine make her escape.

Saturnus has cultivated a language all his own and during the first vet check that is carried out on the island he makes sure his voice is heard and he shows off a new front tooth to Lone. When the flood hits the island many orangutans struggle as they get used to the more aquatic lifestyle… Saturnus just sees it as something else to play in… much like his relationship with mud.
