  • Baby And Mum Orangutan Cling To Each Other Until Help Arrives<br />
<br />
This baby and mum orangutan lost their forest home — but now they're finally safe<br />
<br />
A mother and baby orangutan in Borneo have a bright future ahead of them after rescuers saved them from a life-threatening situation and moved them to a safe new home in the rainforest.<br />
<br />
A team from International Animal Rescue (IAR) based in Ketapang, West Borneo was alerted by locals in the nearby village of Sandai that a mother and baby orangutan had been spotted in a rubber tree plantation. IAR’s Human Orangutan Conflict (HOC) team set off immediately to verify the report. Orangutans that enter villages in search of food are in serious danger of being treated as pests and attacked, even killed by farmers or plantation workers. <br />
<br />
Once they had located them, the HOC team set up camp for the night near the orangutans’ nest and waited for the full rescue team to arrive.<br />
<br />
The following morning, in spite of driving rain, IAR’s marksman Argitoe succeeded in hitting the mother with the first shot of his dart gun and mother and baby landed safely in the net stretched out below them by the rescue team. They named the orangutans Mama Rindi and Baby Rindi. Vet Ayu and Spanish volunteer vet Javier carried out a thorough medical check which confirmed that mother and baby were in good health and the mother was producing milk for her baby. <br />
<br />
IAR CEO Alan Knight said: “This mother and baby are safe now but their story could have ended in tragedy had it not been for the actions of our team. Although some people know to contact us if they spot an orangutan near their village, others still react aggressively to the apes’ presence. By searching for food in the rubber tree plantation, the mother ran a serious risk of being attacked and killed, leaving her tiny baby to be taken and sold as a pet. It’s a great relief to know they are safe.” <br />

A mother and baby orangutan in Borneo have a bright future ahead of them after rescuers saved them from a life-threatening situation and moved them to a safe new home in the rainforest.<br />
<br />
A team from International Animal Rescue (IAR) based in Ketapang, West Borneo was alerted by locals in the nearby village of Sandai that a mother and baby orangutan had been spotted in a rubber tree plantation. IAR’s Human Orangutan Conflict (HOC) team set off immediately to verify the report. Orangutans that enter villages in search of food are in serious danger of being treated as pests and attacked, even killed by farmers or plantation workers. <br />
<br />
Once they had located them, the HOC team set up camp for the night near the orangutans’ nest and waited for the full rescue team to arrive.<br />
<br />
The following morning, in spite of driving rain, IAR’s marksman Argitoe succeeded in hitting the mother with the first shot of his dart gun and mother and baby landed safely in the net stretched out below them by the rescue team. They named the orangutans Mama Rindi and Baby Rindi. Vet Ayu and Spanish volunteer vet Javier carried out a thorough medical check which confirmed that mother and baby were in good health and the mother was producing milk for her baby. <br />
<br />
IAR CEO Alan Knight said: “This mother and baby are safe now but their story could have ended in tragedy had it not been for the actions of our team. Although some people know to contact us if they spot an orangutan near their village, others still react aggressively to the apes’ presence. By searching for food in the rubber tree plantation, the mother ran a serious risk of being attacked and killed, leaving her tiny baby to be taken and sold as a pet. It’s a great relief to know they are safe.” <br />

This baby and mum orangutan lost their forest home — but now they're finally safe<br />
<br />
A mother and baby orangutan in Borneo have a bright future ahead of them after rescuers saved them from a life-threatening situation and moved them to a safe new home in the rainforest.<br />
<br />
A team from International Animal Rescue (IAR) based in Ketapang, West Borneo was alerted by locals in the nearby village of Sandai that a mother and baby orangutan had been spotted in a rubber tree plantation. IAR’s Human Orangutan Conflict (HOC) team set off immediately to verify the report. Orangutans that enter villages in search of food are in serious danger of being treated as pests and attacked, even killed by farmers or plantation workers. <br />
<br />
Once they had located them, the HOC team set up camp for the night near the orangutans’ nest and waited for the full rescue team to arrive.<br />
<br />
The following morning, in spite of driving rain, IAR’s marksman Argitoe succeeded in hitting the mother with the first shot of his dart gun and mother and baby landed safely in the net stretched out below them by the rescue team. They named the orangutans Mama Rindi and Baby Rindi. Vet Ayu and Spanish volunteer vet Javier carried out a thorough medical check which confirmed that mother and baby were in good health and the mother was producing milk for her baby. <br />

  • Kids Save Baby Beluga Whale Who Washed Up On Shore <br />
<br />
While vacationing on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, in Canada, a family received an unexpected visitor: a baby beluga whale. The calf, a female who was likely born just hours earlier, had lost her mother. The boys who had stumbled upon her scrambled to save her life. <br />
<br />
"We dug a hole so that water would accumulate and its skin would hydrate," 15-year-old Nicholas Milliard, who first found the calf with his younger brothers, told CBC News. "Every five minutes we got it a bucket of water. The water level was dropping, and it was becoming more and more difficult to get water." <br />
<br />
It doesn't happen very often that humans meddle with sea life and save a life — too often we've see the opposite happen. But in this case, the Quebec family was able to stabilize the baby beluga until help could arrive.<br />
Researchers with the Group for Research and Education on Marine Mammals (GREMM) arrived to carefully move the ailing baby back into the waters, near another pod of beluga whales <br />
<br />
The hope, as GREMM president told Le Devoir, was that one of the other females might be induced to feed her. Sadly, most recent reports suggest it has not yet happened — which makes the situation particularly precarious for the baby beluga.<br />
<br />
Beluga whales nurse their young for around two years. This baby, just days old, is desperately in need of a lactating mother to give her a vital start in life.<br />
<br />
"For now, we do not yet know the outcome of the story," Michaud told Le Devoir.<br />
<br />
The calf's survival is particularly vital, as the beluga whale population ebbs to unprecedented levels in the St. Lawrence region.<br />
<br />
The area, Michaud notes, once boasted thousands of beluga whales. Today, the population is estimated at less than 900. Much of that decimation, according to the World Wildlife Fund of Canada, is due to the river's rising pollution levels.<br />

But this baby beluga, at least, has a fighting chance. She held out on the beach for her young he

<br />
This is the heartbreaking moment a tiny newborn baby was found crying and covered in blood after his mother died during childbirth. <br />
<br />
Single mum Nong Parichat, 24, suddenly went into labour earlier this month at her home in Pathu Thani, Thailand.<br />
<br />
She was in agony and suffered horrific blood loss as she battled to deliver the baby on her own on her living room floor.<br />
<br />
Eventually she called an ambulance but tragically it arrived too late and shocked paramedics found the mother passed out on the ground at around 9pm. <br />
<br />
The baby was rushed to hospital and is currently being cared for by nurses at a children's hospital in the Thai capital.<br />
<br />
Volunteer rescue worker Eyeuam Thong said: ''The mother have the baby her last breath. She was found dead but the child survived.<br />
<br />
''There was  blood everywhere on the floor and the mother had suffered some kind of internal hemorrhage of bleeding. <br />
<br />
''She gave birth on her own. There was nobody else around. She called an ambulance herself before the baby came but it was too late.<br />
<br />
''It's a sad, sad situation for everybody. The baby will grow up without a mum or dad. He's being looked after by nurses and after that he could be fostered or adopted.''<br />

Eventually she called an ambulance but tragically it arrived too late and shocked paramedics found the mother passed out on the ground at around 9pm. <br />
<br />
The baby was rushed to hospital and is currently being cared for by nurses at a children's hospital in the Thai capital.<br />
<br />
Volunteer rescue worker Eyeuam Thong said: ''The mother have the baby her last breath. She was found dead but the child survived.<br />
<br />
''There was  blood everywhere on the floor and the mother had suffered some kind of internal hemorrhage of bleeding. <br />
<br />
''She gave birth on her own. There was nobody else around. She called an ambulance herself before the baby came but it was too late.<br />
<br />
''It's a sad, sad situation for everybody. The baby will grow up without a mum or dad. He's being looked after by nurses and after that he could be fostered or adopted.''<br />

  • PARAMEDICS FIND BABY BOY CRYING AFTER MUM DIED IN CHILDBIRTH<br />
<br />
This is the heartbreaking moment a tiny newborn baby was found crying and covered in blood after his mother died during childbirth. <br />
<br />
Single mum Nong Parichat, 24, suddenly went into labour earlier this month at her home in Pathu Thani, Thailand.<br />
<br />
She was in agony and suffered horrific blood loss as she battled to deliver the baby on her own on her living room floor.<br />
<br />
Eventually she called an ambulance but tragically it arrived too late and shocked paramedics found the mother passed out on the ground at around 9pm. <br />

  • Baby orangutan who was rescued after spending SIX MONTHS chained by the neck to a narrow plank of wood in a family's kitchen is now healthy and doing well at the International Animal Rescue Orangutan Centre in Ketapang, West Borneo<br />
<br />
"Bonika" the baby orangutan's story back in November 2016  was rescued after spending six months chained by the neck to a narrow plank of wood in a family's kitchen.<br />
The 18-month-old ape, named Bonika, was found chained so tightly around the neck that she was barely able to move from side to side.<br />
She was left stranded on the plank after she was captured by Bapak Hendrigus, who found her in the middle of a palm oil plantation<br />
<br />
now after spending 6 months at the centre "Bonika" is a million miles away from her past life...<br />
<br />
Heribertus Suciadi, a member of the team  in Ketapang, West Borneo said....<br />
 "Bonika - She is so smart! She learns quickly in pre-school where she spends her days playing and climbing with other babies. She has the natural instinct of how to climb up high in the trees, grab some branches and leaves to build a nest  and how to socialise with other orangutans. At first she was a picky eater, she didn’t want to eat certain fruits or vegetables. But now, she will eat any kind of fruits and vegetables which the baby sitter brings to the forest! Bonika loves to observe the world from the top of a tree, therefore whenever the babies arrive at school she will climb up high then swing from tree to tree"<br />
 <br />
In conclusion - after her terrible start in life, Bonika is showing all the signs of becoming the perfect candidate for eventual release back into the forest. We’re thrilled with her progress so far!<br />

Baby can smile after docs cut to size his giant tongue that was choking on him<br />
<br />
An infant born with a giant tongue that could have choked him to death can finally smile after surgeons slice off half of it. <br />
<br />
Aparajit Lodhi, from Jabalpur of north Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, suffers from a rare congenital anomaly called Macroglossia, a medical term for an unusually large tongue. <br />
<br />
The congenital overgrowth disorder was discovered at birth and the doctors had told Aparajit’s parents to give up on her. That she was not going to live any longer. <br />
<br />
The rare condition caused his tongue to swell so big that choked on his mouth. <br />
<br />
“I was horrified to see the baby with her own tongue stuffing her month. She was crying continuously. I knew he was in pain and also hungry. But I was helpless. I could neither share his pain nor nurse him because the overgrowth had clogged his month. But we were determined to save our child come what may,” says mother Mini Lodhi, 28. <br />
<br />
Fearing Aparajit, all of seven days old, wouldn't survive as breathing apparatus was required to keep him alive.<br />
<br />
On the fourth day after birth, the infant underwent a surgery that reduced the size of his tongue tumor. <br />
<br />
“The baby was four-days-old when we operated on her. He was not able to swallow anything because of this giant tongue. This is a very rare condition called macroglossia that happens to one in 500,000 live births. Not only after birth, the baby was not able to swallow anything because of this condition in the womb also. After the operation, he was able to swallow anything for the first time ever.”<br />
<br />
It was a big tumor in the tongue and it took two hours to the team of doctors to remove the growth. “We had to remove the tumor completely as we couldn’t have left any remnant of it. But at the same time, you had to take care that the tongue doesn’t lose its function,” said Dr Agarwal, who heads the pediatric and newborn surgery department at the state-run facility. <br />

An infant born with a giant tongue that could have choked him to death can finally smile after surgeons slice off half of it. <br />
<br />
Aparajit Lodhi, from Jabalpur of north Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, suffers from a rare congenital anomaly called Macroglossia, a medical term for an unusually large tongue. <br />
<br />
The congenital overgrowth disorder was discovered at birth and the doctors had told Aparajit’s parents to give up on her. That she was not going to live any longer. <br />
<br />
The rare condition caused his tongue to swell so big that choked on his mouth. <br />
<br />
“I was horrified to see the baby with her own tongue stuffing her month. She was crying continuously. I knew he was in pain and also hungry. But I was helpless. I could neither share his pain nor nurse him because the overgrowth had clogged his month. But we were determined to save our child come what may,” says mother Mini Lodhi, 28. <br />
<br />
Fearing Aparajit, all of seven days old, wouldn't survive as breathing apparatus was required to keep him alive.<br />
<br />
On the fourth day after birth, the infant underwent a surgery that reduced the size of his tongue tumor. <br />
<br />
“The baby was four-days-old when we operated on her. He was not able to swallow anything because of this giant tongue. This is a very rare condition called macroglossia that happens to one in 500,000 live births. Not only after birth, the baby was not able to swallow anything because of this condition in the womb also. After the operation, he was able to swallow anything for the first time ever.”<br />
<br />
It was a big tumor in the tongue and it took two hours to the team of doctors to remove the growth. “We had to remove the tumor completely as we couldn’t have left any remnant of it. But at the same time, you had to take care that the tongue doesn’t lose its function,” said Dr Agarwal, who heads the pediatric and newborn surgery department at the state-run facility. <br />

  • Baby orangutan who was rescued after spending SIX MONTHS chained by the neck to a narrow plank of wood in a family's kitchen is now healthy and doing well at the International Animal Rescue Orangutan Centre in Ketapang, West Borneo<br />
<br />
"Bonika" the baby orangutan's story back in November 2016  was rescued after spending six months chained by the neck to a narrow plank of wood in a family's kitchen.<br />
The 18-month-old ape, named Bonika, was found chained so tightly around the neck that she was barely able to move from side to side.<br />
She was left stranded on the plank after she was captured by Bapak Hendrigus, who found her in the middle of a palm oil plantation<br />
<br />
now after spending 6 months at the centre "Bonika" is a million miles away from her past life...<br />
<br />
Heribertus Suciadi, a member of the team  in Ketapang, West Borneo said....<br />
 "Bonika - She is so smart! She learns quickly in pre-school where she spends her days playing and climbing with other babies. She has the natural instinct of how to climb up high in the trees, grab some branches and leaves to build a nest  and how to socialise with other orangutans. At first she was a picky eater, she didn’t want to eat certain fruits or vegetables. But now, she will eat any kind of fruits and vegetables which the baby sitter brings to the forest! Bonika loves to observe the world from the top of a tree, therefore whenever the babies arrive at school she will climb up high then swing from tree to tree"<br />
 <br />
In conclusion - after her terrible start in life, Bonika is showing all the signs of becoming the perfect candidate for eventual release back into the forest. We’re thrilled with her progress so far!<br />

Baby can smile after docs cut to size his giant tongue that was choking on him<br />
<br />
An infant born with a giant tongue that could have choked him to death can finally smile after surgeons slice off half of it. <br />
<br />
Aparajit Lodhi, from Jabalpur of north Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, suffers from a rare congenital anomaly called Macroglossia, a medical term for an unusually large tongue. <br />
<br />
The congenital overgrowth disorder was discovered at birth and the doctors had told Aparajit’s parents to give up on her. That she was not going to live any longer. <br />
<br />
The rare condition caused his tongue to swell so big that choked on his mouth. <br />
<br />
“I was horrified to see the baby with her own tongue stuffing her month. She was crying continuously. I knew he was in pain and also hungry. But I was helpless. I could neither share his pain nor nurse him because the overgrowth had clogged his month. But we were determined to save our child come what may,” says mother Mini Lodhi, 28. <br />
<br />
Fearing Aparajit, all of seven days old, wouldn't survive as breathing apparatus was required to keep him alive.<br />
<br />
On the fourth day after birth, the infant underwent a surgery that reduced the size of his tongue tumor. <br />
<br />
“The baby was four-days-old when we operated on her. He was not able to swallow anything because of this giant tongue. This is a very rare condition called macroglossia that happens to one in 500,000 live births. Not only after birth, the baby was not able to swallow anything because of this condition in the womb also. After the operation, he was able to swallow anything for the first time ever.”<br />
<br />
It was a big tumor in the tongue and it took two hours to the team of doctors to remove the growth. “We had to remove the tumor completely as we couldn’t have left any remnant of it. But at the same time, you had to take care that the tongue doesn’t lose its function,” said Dr Agarwal, who heads the pediatric and newborn surgery department at the state-run facility. <br />
