Orangutan Jungle School - Kindergarten mal anders

From tree climbing to diaper duty to manic meal times, there's never a dull moment at the orangutan jungle school.

Orangutans graduate to jungle classrooms, a scary accident lands two young ones in the sick bay, and more adventures in jungle school.

From an orangutan standing up to a bully to the planned release of two sun bears, optimism reigns at Nyaru Menteng.

Jungle school is all about giving young orangutans the tools they need to survive--but for those with serious disabilities, a different future awaits.

Forming bonds is a key lesson at Nyaru Menteng. One three-year-old even makes friends with a macaque!

With sick orangutans, if they're misbehaving, then they're likely feeling better. In that case, Erik must be doing really well!

After weeks in the sick bay, two youngsters are back amongst peers.

A flu epidemic has the vets on edge, while a pair of resourceful females have escaped from their sanctuary.

A traumatic birth causes stress, a release plan is prepared, and a new beach has the orangutans enjoying fun in the sun.

A reluctant mom, an orangutan with an attitude, and a release plan gone wrong.
