00:00 All newcomers start their journey with a health exam.

00:05 We check tuberculosis, x-ray, maybe something happened before.

00:13 Maybe she got fracture or something else.

00:19 So we check it all.

00:21 Today, it's Topan and Suzanne's turn.

00:27 Suzanne's sedated to minimize stress.

00:31 Throat swabs, blood tests, a dental check,

00:51 and even fingerprint impressions are mandatory.

00:57 It's Topan's turn.

01:07 But Auguste decides immediately that it's too dangerous

01:12 to sedate this little girl in her emaciated state.

01:18 The more invasive tests can be delayed until she's a healthier weight.

01:24 But she must get an x-ray today to rule out tuberculosis.

01:31 We make it more important for tuberculosis

01:37 because this is so dangerous for another round of disease.

01:41 Any outbreak of this contagious disease

01:45 could be a disaster in the close living quarters of these orphaned orangutans.

01:51 Thankfully, Topan's lungs are clear.

02:02 She can finish her tests when she gains some weight.

02:13 In the meantime, all four newcomers

02:17 will complete a four-week quarantine period.

02:21 And once their health status is approved, they'll join the others.

02:28 This is where the education formally begins.

02:33 Each day starts with a new day.

02:43 The first day is a day of learning.

02:47 The first day is a day of learning.

02:51 Each day starts with the school bus ride to their outdoor classrooms.

02:57 The nursery school students are divided into two groups.

03:08 The one- to two-year-olds join the biggies,

03:13 while those under one are in the little ones.

03:19 In nursery class, the curriculum is simple.

03:23 The surrogate mothers, known as babysitters,

03:27 gently introduce their little students to the basics.

03:31 The babysitter's job is like a mother and a teacher.

03:36 The children are taught to be good teachers.

03:40 The children are taught to be good teachers.

03:44 The babysitter's job is like a mother and a teacher.

03:49 Orangutans spend around 90% of their lives in the treetops.

03:54 So you could say this is a necessity for becoming a orangutan.

04:00 On pre-release Bangamat Island,

04:05 Vista teaches her five-month-old son, V,

04:08 to climb by just hanging out in the canopy.

04:14 But at jungle school, this is what happens.

04:20 It's not perfect, but it seems to work.

04:42 In climbing 101, when the students are reluctant,

04:47 their teachers will do whatever it takes to get them where they belong.

05:08 Report cards are marked every day.

05:12 And like human kids, some are naturals.

05:18 While for others, it's a real struggle.

05:25 In junior school, two-year-old Malika is flunking climbing class.

05:32 While her classmates practice, she prefers to watch.

05:38 Malika was only a week old when she lost her mother to a forest fire.

05:46 A village woman rescued her and raised her

05:49 as if she were a human baby for a year and a half.

05:55 She slept in a cot and wore baby onesies.

06:01 It stands to reason that she's still struggling to be an orangutan.

06:07 She must catch up, or she'll be held back

06:11 when the others graduate to the next class.

06:17 Malika's not the only student failing to climb.

06:24 However, Beni cannot claim a recent traumatic backstory as an excuse.

06:32 He's been at school for three years now

06:35 and has adopted a curriculum different to his friends'.

06:41 This is what he likes to do all day.

06:51 Followed by this.

06:56 Then some more of this.

07:02 Well, that built up an appetite.

07:09 (BENI PANTING)

07:13 His classmates Valentino, Jutris and Madara are having fun in the trees above.

07:29 Eventually, Beni seems to think he should join them.

07:38 (BENI SNIFFS)

07:41 (BENI SCREAMS)

07:51 It's not that he doesn't know how to climb.

07:55 The problem, because Beni really like banana.

07:59 It's really difficult for him because he's really fat.

08:04 (BENI SNIFFS)

08:07 Oh, my God.

08:10 At over 60 pounds, he's twice as heavy as his classmates of the same age.

08:18 And he hasn't yet learned to judge which branches can take his extra weight.

08:28 (BENI SNIFFS)

08:31 No bananas for this scrawny little boy.

08:41 If he doesn't figure it out soon, Beni risks falling behind and he could be held back.
