Vets Race to Treat Orangutan Runt (Part Two) | The Secret Life of the Zoo | Nature Bites

Keepers at Chester Zoo are concerned when an orangutan runt is underdeveloped, so they put her under anaesthetic to find out what's wrong.
The Bornean orangutan is a species of orangutan endemic to the island of Borneo. Together with the Sumatran orangutan and Tapanuli orangutan, it belongs to the only genus of great apes native to Asia.
