Meet the Orangutans - Season 1 (2015)

Meet the Orangutans is a window into the extraordinary daily drama of the world’s oldest Orangutan Sanctuary. From babies being bottle-fed and wearing nappies, to teenagers being taught how to climb trees, to wounded orangs arriving at the sanctuary needing urgent veterinary care, to the older guys being released into the jungle, there is never a dull moment. The human carers, run by eccentric Brit Sue Shewar, are every bit as colourful too, and the jury’s still out on who rules the roost - the staff or the apes.
