Jojo
$100.00 / year
Jojo was brought to OFI’s Orangutan Care Centre & Quarantine in December 2021 when she was just nine months old. According to the Indonesian Forestry Department, she had been kept as an illegal pet for several months. This likely means her mother was killed when she was around four months old, although her “owners” said that Jojo was found on the roadside of a palm oil plantation. This is a sadly all too familiar tale. Upon arrival, Jojo had a swollen nose and elbow but was otherwise healthy. After completing the mandatory 30-day quarantine period, she was taken to the infant nursery at Camp Danielle.
At Camp Danielle, Jojo has left those months in captivity behind as she has been showered with love. She is a confident and very active infant.Her determined face gives the impression that she is an orangutan not to be messed with. This is all dispelled once Jojo grabs some leaves and stuffs them into her mouth, scrunching up her face like someone who has forgotten to put their dentures in! This smart little orangutan has a big personality. Jojo bursts out of her sleeping enclosure and heads straight for the playground. For this brave little acrobat there is no better way to start the morning than throwing herself into a large hanging net. Without skipping a beat, she rolls across the net and carries on, bounding around the playground as if she owns the place – shimmying up ropes and swinging along rafters. When not dive-bombing like a stuntperson, Jojo can be found happily swaying back and forth in one of the tyre hammocks. She is such a bundle of energy.
