Meet Galaksi – He's a Charmer
Background Story
Just after midnight on August 9, 2021, the wildlife rescue team from the Tenggarong BKSDA (Natural Resource Conservation Agency) office, East Kalimantan, arrived at the Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation’s Samboja Lestari Orangutan Rehabilitation Center to deliver a baby orangutan. The team, who had been waiting at the gate for the important arrival, immediately removed the sleeping baby male from the cat cage he had been transported in. He was brought to the Nursery where a vet conducted an initial examination, gave him milk, and named him Galaksi. From a preliminary health examination, it was determined that he weighed only 2.7 kg, had an umbilical hernia, and was about seven months old.
Galaksi Today
Since he arrived in 2021, Galaksi has been under the careful watch of dedicated surrogate mothers at BOS Foundation’s Samboja Lestary Rehabilitation Center, where he has flourished. One of the most noticeable changes in Galaksi’s life has been his physical transformation. After years in the baby house, his weight increased significantly and this growth is a testament to the excellent care and nutritious diet provided by the animal welfare team. He is still small compared to his peers, but Galaksi has proven that size is not a limitation when it comes to his skills and abilities. Galaksi has grown into a smart orangutan who likes to play in the forest and climb trees. With his determination and zest for life, there is no doubt that Galaksi will continue to impress and inspire all who follow along with his journey.
