Sari, Berani and Ujian are now on-show in the exhibit called "The Temple of Flowers"Pairi Daiza has posted on there Facebook page that they are welcoming the Sumatran Orangutans from Heidelberg. This will consist of females Puan and Sari and male Ujian with young male (11 months) Berani.
"We present you Berani, a charming little orang-utan of 11 months. The Duck is going to happen in early April to Pairi Daiza, with her parents and another female, from Heidelberg Zoo (Germany). The whole family will settle in the new temple of flowers and will benefit from the pens outside and inside of more than 1.400 square meters. He's cute, no, the kid?"
From the sounds of it, this will see Heidelberg going out of orangs unless they have plans to get some more.
Here is some more information from this article, with some photos of exhibit: ZOO Logisch: Een nieuwe familie orang-oetans in Pairi Daiza
Begin this week month, Ujian (22 years old), Sari (13 years) and their 1 year old baby Berani from the German Zoo Heidelberg in Pairi Daiza. They were accompanied by their German caregivers and first discovered their new territory. Ujian, Sari and Berani are visible to the public in the Temple of Fleurs from today.
Berani, The Big Suprise
After years of platonic society between Ujian and Sari, it was initially concluded that the origin of an intimate relationship between both oranges was no longer dealt with. The organization of relocation and the search for new live animals for the animals had already begun, when everyone's surprise, in March 2016, showed the little Berani.
Berani, like many little orangutans, has hung his first life months to his mother. He is now beginning to lead his own life quietly. Just like his mother, a very independent female, Berani is also leaving for adventure only more often.
Ujian, beloved for his intelligence and wisdom, now starts to show a little more interest in the very cuddly little one.
The family orangutans counted and second female, Puan. Unfortunately, Puan has not been able to experience the trip. Puan was 28 years old and led to chronic lung disease, died a few hours before leaving. Despite all efforts, her caregivers and veterinarians could not save Puan. Pairi Daiza salutes the professionalism and love that accompanied the German colleagues Puan for years and last.
A Temple for the Family
Pairi Daiza is also famous for its temples and stays, built with respect for local traditions and with the help of local craftsmen.
This season you can enter the 'Temple of Fleurs', a Jaïn temple departing for the new family orangutans.
For Ujian, Sari and Berani, a grand temple was built from tons of white marble where 800 sculptors in India worked for six months. It took another six months for the placement in Pairi Daiza. The residence of the new residents has more than 1,400 square meters of indoor and outdoor space and offers climbing possibilities up to 8m high
European Endangered Species Programme
Ujian, Sari and Berani, as well as Sinta and Gempa (a pair of orangutans who moved in to Pairi Daiza in 2016) are part of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria European Epidemic Breeding Program (EAZA)
Do you know what happened, or have any information?
With recent orangutan transfers, deaths and births I decided its time for an update on the Orangutans in Europe. You may notice under Monde Sauvage I have added another male called Mokko because I assumed he died but read into some information on him and turns out he never matured (Mother had an X-ray whilst pregnant) so can be and I kept with other male Masala. Also, I have added Lola at ZooPark Udmurtii; Very little is known about her and although she looks like a Bornean from photos I'm not ruling out anything. Enjoy
