Nonja, a Bornean Orangutan at Tierpark Schonbrunn sadly passed away due to kidney failure at the age of 40. Nonja lived at Vienna all her life after being born there to her parents Napoleon and Josephine. She was hand-reared by keepers at Vienna after her birth. Sadly, Nonja never had any offspring of her own. This leaves Vienna with 1:2.

That's interesting. Presumably Sibu will be going into retirement accommodation, like Tuan at Chester.
If Jin is leaving MW, will same-aged Silvestre(sumatran) be far behind?
