A TINY baby orangutan who was brutally shot and torn away from his mother has finally had the bullet removed after extensive rehabilitation. Didik the orangutan captured hearts around the world when he was brought to International Animal Rescue’s (IAR) orangutan centre in Ketapang, West Kalimantan – in Indonesian Borneo – with a bullet lodged in his shoulder. IAR were alerted to Didik’s condition after he was handed over to a local shopkeeper. After months of rehabilitation and surgery little Didik is finally on the mend and is honing his expert climbing skills alongside his fellow orphans.

  1. That is a pellet, not a bullet and there is a huge difference. That orangutan baby would not have survived a bullet even a small caliber at the very least would have lost the arm. A pellet is air driven, much weaker and does not fragment. All that aside… How can anyone shoot anything at these creatures? Orangutans despite being far stronger than humans are far more gentle than other great apes and deserve better than to be shot with anything. Especially their babies. How can anyone lack compassion and ignore how similar they are to us? smh…

  2. Poor Dedik. Who has the hate enough in his heart to murder a mommy and shoot a little helpless baby. Oh my God. Help these beautiful families. Bless everything you put your hands to.

  3. R the poor little mite. How can people be so cruel to animals. These type of people should be executed. Evil, wicked, uncaring and have no heart. Thankyou so much for looking after him, you are such kind people. Breaks my heart to see this kind of cruelty.
