    An orangutan who lost both his arms trying to escape captors has finally 'graduated' from 'Forest School' after learning the skills he needs to survive.
    Kopral was electrocuted when he climbed an electricity pylon in a bid to escape captors who had been keeping him in a cage as a pet since he was a baby.
    The youngster was brought to the East Kalimantan Orangutan Reintroduction Program in Indonesia by taxi, but sadly his arms were severely burnt and rotting and nothing could be done to save them.
    Despite his horrific start in life, under the care of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, Kopral excelled in 'Forest School' - a rehabilitation programme designed to teach orangutans how to build nests, climb trees, select appropriate natural foods and recognise natural predators.

      If you watch another video about him, the story goes: after being electrocuted, his captor though he was dead so he left Kopral there for few days, when they return they realized that he's still alive and call the forest police to rescued him. But at that point his arms was impossible to cure. So they amputated them

He’s so calm too, if his disability frustrates him I would never know. He gets on with life so well. So grateful for everyone that supported him. It’s so beautiful to see him have the freedom and life that he deserves!❤️🦧❤️

Consider this please.....how do we achieve it when we have real "human" babies being snatched from the arms of their parents in the USA , just to send a message.

      Yes, there’s an orangutan at the Great Ape Center with a few videos up on YT asp missing her arms, where she’s doing enrichment exercises with her toys. The angle the video is shot at, and the way she’s sitting, you’d actually think she was using her arms and hands to play, and not her legs and feet.
