Charity rescues ‘distressed’ baby orang-utan in Borneo

A baby orangutan who constantly wrapped her arms around her body because she missed her mother has been rescued by a British animal charity in Borneo.

The ape, called Joss, also threw herself onto the floor repeatedly and banged her head against a wall in further signs of her psychological trauma.

British charity workers fear Joss’s fragile mental state came after she witnessed her mother being killed before being snatched and sold herself.
