Rescuers believed that an orangutan was dead when they found him. Gito, a tiny orangutan who was motionless, was left to die in a cardboard box soaked with urine. Although he had been living on condensed milk, Gito was actually suffering from severe malnourishment.
Gito looked ‘mummified’ and his situation was really neglect and cruel, according to rescuers from International Animal Rescue (IAR). The group wrote on its website that even the most strengthened members of the team were shocked when they saw Gito’s state.
Thankfully, Gito is finally getting back to the life, by IAR staff’s efforts, that all animals should have. Gito can now jump in the jungle gym and stare at the camera. IAR shared photos of Gito, and said that they were happy to share the photos. These photos show how Gito has improved since his rescue. He is healthier and his skin looks so much better.
His progress is being well-received by the veterinarians. It is hoped that he will soon be back in the wild. He’s also getting more active.
Gito has at least reclaimed his life. Gito’s recovery story shows people how many good groups like IAR can do in rescuing animals. Check out the video.
