to the wilderness, it's health will be examined the veterinary surgeon. This
step is needed to make sure that any of the orangutan has no communicable disease
due to the long contact with the human, or to see the possibilities of malnutrition's,
or any other of disease. Most of the orangutan here are baby orphans orangutan
which still need a long time of support to survive.
