A Dorset monkey sanctuary has taken in an infant orangutan which had become vulnerable after its mother had been unable to feed it.

Sibu Junior was born on July 31 at Dublin Zoo in Ireland but despite efforts by staff to teach and encourage its mother to feed the youngster, it was decided to find a new home for it.
