Monti was doing well in the temporary transit center, but she is thriving in Sungai Awan. She was one of a handful of medium-sized babies who moved to the new center at the end of January.
Monti has adjusted well to the change and remains independent. She still has a calm demeanour while with the others in the sleeping cage, but when going out into the forest, she likes to push the boundaries a little. When some of her friends choose to walk, she takes to the trees and makes her way to the feeding platform in the forest at her own pace. We are confident that she will continue to practice the skills needed to survive as a wild orangutan in the future.
