Papa

Papa is a 31-year-old, adult male orangutan cheekpadder who is being cared for at the BOS Samboja Lestari Orangutan Rehabilitation Center. Papa was brought to Samboja Lestari on September 1, 1994, after being repatriated from Taiwan, where he had been sold as an illegal pet. He was around four years old when he arrived. Unfortunately, medical tests revealed that he had contracted Hepatitis B, meaning he needed to be kept away from other orangutans and housed in a special quarantine enclosure all by himself... Fortunately, a scientific discovery several decades later would change Papa's life forever! See more photos and a video of Papa!
