Since her arrival in late 2016 at Camp Danielle, OFI’s orangutan nursery, easy going Holland has won the hearts of the OFI caregivers. There is something about her soulful eyes and quiet charm that everyone finds captivating. She is particularly adorable, and despite the tragedies of her past, Holland has the good fortune of being a clever and confident orangutan.
Holland had a rough start: the loss of her mother and the burns on her hand when she arrived at OFI tell us of her tragic past. There is no way for us to know for sure what happened, but it appears she was captured, and her mother killed in a fire. She arrived at our Care Centre an orphan, but she found a loving surrogate mother in Ibu Yeti, who cares for Holland as if she were her own child. This maternal connection is very important to orphaned orangutans who crave the affection and require the attention of their mother until they reach adolescence.
Sweet Holland is a bundle of energy and joy. If she isn’t atop the tallest tree, she is down inspecting the ground finding insects and worms. She wanders around the playground finding wonder in every nook and cranny, sniffing each leaf and leaving no stone unturned. Holland does everything you would expect an orangutan youngster to do, but in her own inimitable style.
