    The care, the gentleness, the loving habitat, everything you did for this little baby will not just go without a reward. How you treat animals shows the kind of person you are. The nurture till the point of independence is just absolutely wonderful. Thanks a lott

    Budi is so special. He was more than likely teetering on the verge when he was turned over. It was heartbreaking to hear him cry at the smallest little movement. But he has the heart of a lion and didn't give up. There are so many of these orangs that I love and admire, but Budi is so very special. I love to see him all grown up and would love to see video of a known offspring at some point. That would be the icing on the cake.
