Five baby orangutans rescued from a forest in Odisha’s Balasore district have recovered from anaemia and fever and are steadily gaining weight at Nandankanan Zoological Park in Bhubaneswar. The three males and two females were found abandoned in a casuarina forest on September 8 and later shifted to the zoo for treatment. Officials said all five are eating normally, while their appetite, activity and behaviour have improved. Their weights increased between September 14 and 26, according to zoo records. Meanwhile, Odisha Police’s Special Task Force is investigating suspected smuggling from Indonesia. No arrests have been made so far. (PC: The Telegraph)
