Sibu Junior Farewell
Sibu Junior Farewell

Itโ€™s bittersweet for us here at Dublin Zoo, as Sibu Junior has now left the Zoo for his new home at a specialist orangutan nursery, Monkey World โ€“ Ape Rescue Centre in the UK. We were sad to say goodbye to this bundle of joy who had stolen our hearts, but we know that this move is exactly what he needs for his development. He will join the nursery which is home to other orphaned or rejected infant orangutans from zoos around the world, including Hungary, Germany and the UK. The orangutans, ranging in age from 5-10 are cared for by orangutan foster mother Oshine as it is vital for the youngstersโ€™ development to be surrounded by others of their own kind. Monkey World is experienced in rehabilitating young orangutans into groups, and welcomes new arrivals regularly, so Sibu Jr will have plenty of adopted brothers and sisters to grow up with. We want to give a shout out to the heroes in the Dublin Zoo team who have given so much time over the past few months to offer SJ such wonderful care. We have had team members work a full shift to fulfil their regular duties at Dublin Zoo and then take on orangutan baby-sitting duties overnight, bottle-feeding and changing nappies. Itโ€™s been a supreme effort from the whole team and gives us comfort to know we said goodbye to a healthy infant who has made excellent progress. We canโ€™t wait to see him thrive in his new environment.
