Today is World Orangutan Day!
Sadly, orangutans today are on the critically endangered species lists, due to poaching, illegal wildlife trade and habitat loss.
To have an exact count on the orangutan populations are always a challenge. It is estimated that there are only about 1,700 orangutans that remains in Sarawak.
Frustrated about wildlife conservation? Want to help but don’t know how? Have no fear, we are here. So here are some simple things which everyone can do to save our orangu...

A bit of a loner, but enjoys being on their own.
Orangutans are the least sociable compare to any diurnal primate anywhere in the world.
The males especially are loners and antisocial. The mature males with full face flanges and throat sacs can produce what are known as long calls, to tell others he is about to travel a long way and keep other males out of his way.
Sometimes, the long calls might accidentally attract females in telling them that a large and handsome mate is coming.

International Homeless Animals Day
19th Aug 2018, by AnimalCare
Yesterday, 18th August, was “International Homeless Animals Day”.
Our friend, ardent supporter and dedicated rescuer, Dr Veeranoot, who is now back home in Thailand, sent this image below.
Doesn’t it break your heart to think of what might happen to all these innocent little puppies who are born on the street if they do not have the rare good fortune of being adopted, everywhere in the world (except for the Netherlands that have achieved the zero-stray status for dogs (they st...

In conjunction with #InternationalOrangutanDay, WWF-Malaysia collaborated with Sri Pelancongan Sabah to organise a first-of-its-kind orangutan race called The Amazing Orangutan Challenge. 47 teams of four ran a total of 5.6km while completing a series of obstacles that tested the participants’ knowledge on the Bornean orangutans. Great job teams!

Nests are not only for birds but for orangutans too! Unlike ground-living animals, an orangutan swings through trees, leaving no footprints. In order to know whether an orangutan is around, look out for their nests.
With their given size, orangutans realises the risks of sleeping above two storeys in the trees every night. They are intelligent and efficient creatures and are capable at making comfortable leaf-like nests.

Heavy but smart. For an animal as large as an orangutan, obtaining food on small branches at the extremities of rainforest trees, presents somewhat of a problem.
Yet they are smart and perfectly adapted to the task. They never rush, never jump or leap; and all of their movements are careful and cautious. They know how to spread their load between different supports.

Young orangutans depend on their mothers for many years. Babies will continuously cling to their mother for their first year of life. They will still be riding on their mothers for another two to three years.
Not unlike humans, before they can successfully live alone, they need to learn everything from their mothers, i.e what and how to eat, where to find food, how to build their nests, and how to avoid predators.
The special and rare bond between an orangutan mother and her young is one of ...

Male Orangutan
18th Aug 2018, by WWF Malaysia
In primate biology, size does matter. Females like it big. Female orangutans prefer male orangutans with big cheek pads, also known as flanges. Developing flanges can take a while. Some male orangutans take 20 years to grow flanges.
Their cheek pads are big due to their rising testosterone levels. All of which are characteristics associated with dominance. So please don’t mess with the male and his female.
An orangutan is about seven times stronger than a human. He can crush anyone in his...

Urgent Help Needed For Newborn Kitten (Gayathri SK’s)
18th Aug 2018, by AnimalCare
If you are able to help, please contact Gayathri directly. Thank you.
Found this just born in my house @ Jln Terasek 1, Bangsar, KL. Abandoned, covered in blood with umblical cord still attached. Vet has since cut the cord & we have been feeding milk through a syringe. The poor chap’s survival is minimal if the responsible owner of the momma cat that just delivered this morning doesn’t allow the kitten to be fed & cared for by the mom. I hope the owner comes forward or ...
