A Dorset monkey sanctuary has taken in an infant orangutan which had become vulnerable after its mother had been unable to feed it. Sibu Junior was born on July 31 at Dublin Zoo in Ireland but despite efforts by staff to teach and encourage its mother to feed the youngster, it was decided to find a new home for it.

MONKEY World is going ape for a new infant orang-utan which has joined the rescue centre. Sibu Junior, born on July 31, joined the Wool-based attraction from Dublin Zoo earlier this week. The 12-week-old male orang-utan was not fed by its mother despite the zoo’s best efforts to show the pregnant orang-utan how to breastfeed youngsters.
