Koling
$100.00 / year
Sweet little Koling arrived as a small baby. An all too familiar story saw him brought to us from a palm oil plantation. Named after the village next to where he was rescued, this tiny orphan was separated from his mother in a way that most certainly left him distressed and confused. His mother was more than probably killed. Koling looked up with those large innocent eyes and appeared a little lost, looking for love and care..
Koling was checked and pronounced healthy on arrival at OFI’s Care Centre. He has thick, shiny hair, healthy skin and a little pot belly. Luckily Ibu Sopi, his human surrogate mother, is there to help him on his way. Koling adores her attention, as Ibu Sopi spoils him with affection. Their bond is heartwarming, and Koling thrives under her care. He shares his sleeping enclosure at Camp Danielle, the infant nursery, with his best buddy, Sugar, and the sight of them cuddling each other to sleep is incredibly heartwarming. These two are practically inseparable.
Koling’s calm and gentle nature makes him friends with everyone, whether they are human or orangutan, large or small. Koling loves to interact with his caregivers and mimic them. When they throw their arms up in the air, Koling copies them. Although he is still a bit wobbly on his feet, watching him walk around bipedally with his arms in the air is a delightful sight.
