A baby orangutan named Kate clings to her mother, Kitty. Two orangutans have been called Will and Kate in honour of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after their visit to Borneo last year. Although the two apes haven’t yet met, it is hoped they will when they are released into the same protected rainforest. Their rescuers hope they will start a love story of their own. The orangutans were each born at one of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation’s (BOSF) pre-release islands near the Nyaru Menteng Rescue and Reintroduction Centre in the Indonesian part of Borneo.
