A rescued baby orangutan
whose heartbreaking plight captured the hearts of thousands, has gone on to
find love. Budi - who spent the first year of his life trapped in a chicken
coup - was introduced to Jemmi less than a month ago and now the two apes
appear to be inseparable.
Carers at the rescue center say that 15-month-old Budi and Jemmi have developed
a 'beautiful friendship'. Along with eating meals together, they apparently
enjoy playing around on the ropes and branches of their enclosure.
A spokesperson added: 'If
Budi is taken into the day enclosure first he will keep looking back for Jemmi
and, if left on his own, will cry until his new friend joins him.
'At the end of the day they
both make their way back to their shared hammock where they spend the night
together.' Budi was dying from malnutrition and too weak to move when the
International Animal Rescue discovered him in Borneo, Indonesia, last December.
