Rescued orangutan Gito from Borneo to attend ‘pre-school’

A baby orangutan left to die in a filthy cardboard box in the sun in Borneo is now strong and healthy enough to attend ‘pre-school’ with other apes, a British charity has said.

Gito is shown in newly-released images swinging happily and confidently on a climbing frame along with other orphaned baby orangutans undergoing rehabilitation.

His healthy appearance is in stark contrast to the lifeless figure he cut when rescuers from International Animal Rescue (IAR) found him some three months ago.
