ATLANTA, GA
Remy, a 4-month-old Sumatran orangutan, came to Atlanta from the
Fort Worth Zoo recently to be fostered by another female after his
mother became ill and unable to care for him. The infant and his
foster mother, Madu, were hidden from the public while they bonded
and while Remy adapted to his new home.
Visitors can catch the pair in their outdoor exhibit on sunny
days when the winds are low and temperatures are above 70. Zoo
Atlanta houses the nation's largest collection of orangutans with
13.
The animals are native to Indonesia. Experts predict they will
go extinct in the next decade without conservation efforts.
