Introducing a Rescued Orangutan to a Massive Male | Monkey Life Season 16 Episode 11

Introducing fully grown apes is a highly unpredictable and potentially dangerous process. When five-year-old rescued orangutan Cayenne is set to physically meet a much larger male named Bulu Mata for the very first time, primate care staff stand by on high alert, with fire extinguishers ready just in case the interaction turns violent. In a tense, barrier-free introduction, the heavy doors slide open and the two apes come face to face. Witness the fascinating social dynamics of these highly intelligent creatures as the nervous newcomer cautiously navigates her first physical contact with another orangutan in months, testing the boundaries of her new home. Monkey Life follows the work of Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre with nail-biting rescue and rehabilitation stories. Whilst there are primates in need, Dr. Alison Cronin, Jeremy Keeling and their dedicated team continue to fight the illegal trade in primates and give those rescued a safe haven for the rest of their lives.
