Date Posted: November 26, 2024

Vet Arga has the best job in the world! He makes daily trips to the BOS Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Forest School ‘classrooms’ to give the students daily health check-ups. BOS Nyaru Menteng is the world’s largest orangutan rescue center. There are hundreds of orangutans being cared for– from newly rescued infants to older orangutans who are unable to be released. All the orangutans receive a healthy diet, top quality veterinary care and lots of enrichment to keep them busy.
