Episode 3
Steve Leonard and Michaela Strachan introduce stories from the world's biggest ape rescue centre. Sumanto's health takes a turn for the worse, and Angelie returns at last.
Steve Leonard and Michaela Strachan introduce stories from the world's biggest ape rescue centre, home to over 600 orphaned and homeless orangutans.
The Rescue Team search for an orangutan seen dangerously close to a village school and technician Heskia risks a death-defying climb to get Bonny back where she belongs. There are life-changing moments in store for massive male Hercules, the hairiest orangutan you will ever meet, as he heads off for his annual holiday, and Noddy is top of the nursery but nervous about his first day at school.
There is also sadness when Sumanto's health takes a turn for the worse after his terrifying fall, and joy when Angelie, missing for over two months, walks straight through the front gates.
