The Story of Rickina
About ten years ago, a baby orangutan came under the care of Orangutan Outreach, who protects orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra. After some time in baby school, she took her first trip to make new friends.
A decade later, and the shy baby girl blossomed into a healthy, well-adjusted adult ready for release into the wild. (via Murray C.)
