Episode 2
Michaela Strachan and Steve Leonard present a series featuring orphaned and rescued orangutans in Borneo. They help three babies learn how to behave like wild orangutans.
The second instalment of the dramatic story of rescued and orphaned orangutans in Borneo.
All over the island, their forests are being destroyed and being replaced with palm oil plantations.
Michaela Strachan and Steve Leonard help babies Lomon, Grendon and Ellie learn how to behave like wild orangutans. It is a tough job - six years of love and education that their mothers would have provided in the wild. Lomon is one of the weakest orphans of all, and when a serious virus starts to spread at the centre, Michaela fears that he may not survive.
