Episode 1 • Dec 31, 1969
And So it Begins...
Episode 2 • Aug 21, 2018
Movin' On Up
A unique orangutan arrives in the center - a young albino female. One of the orangutans is put on diet but he rebels. Several apes are being sent to the center's island where they can adapt to communal life with other orangutans.
Episode 3 • Dec 31, 1969
King of the Jungle
A team has spent two days working to capture 18 orangutans from a pre-release island so they can continue their journey back to the wild. It's not always an easy task. At 200 pounds, 16-year-old Kasper is the king of the island, and he's not willing to give up his crown without a fight. The stakes are high: with the strength of seven men, an irate orangutan is not a charge to be taken lightly.
Episode 4 • Dec 31, 1969
The Misfits
It's a big day for the team when an extraordinary new arrival shows up. Five-year-old Alba is unlike any orangutan seen at Nyaru Menteng before. Snow white with blue eyes, Alba has albinism, making her one of the rarest orangutans in the world. She's suffered traumatic experiences in the wild, but here she seems willing to trust the humans who have her best interests at heart.
Episode 5 • Dec 31, 1969
A Whole New World
It's hard to predict how orangutans approaching adulthood will react to life on pre-release Bangamat Island. When four large males are set loose, chaos ensues, putting all the residents in danger. One agitated ape threatens to topple a boat, risking the safety of other orangutans on board. The staff must act fast to stave off disaster and think quickly to safely release the rest of the orangutans.
Episode 6 • Dec 31, 1969
Weighs and Means
The wild jungles of Borneo can be treacherous. The island is home to nearly 160 species of snakes--many of them venomous. When a keeled pit viper unexpectedly appears in the compound, the staff leaps into action. After quickly capturing the intruder, they decide to give the orangutans a crash course in snake awareness. From the very first moment, it's clear this is no ordinary classroom lesson.
Episode 7 • Dec 31, 1969
Handle with Care
It's another busy day at Nyaru Menteng. Rescued orangutan Josh has a broken wrist, and Beni's bad breath warrants a trip to the dentist. Alba ha recovered from a typhoid scare, but when she's removed from isolation, will the other orangutans welcome her back? What's worse, a forest school youngster is struck by malaria. Can the staff stop this deadly disease from sweeping through the school?
Episode 8 • Dec 31, 1969
Tots, Teens and Tantrums
It's a time of change at Nyaru Menteng. Beni, the gentle giant, is now on a strict diet, much to his chagrin. The older students are in an age of discovery, with hormones running wild. The arrivals of two new babies mean things are getting crowded in the nursery ward. In a surprise twist, a mysterious new orphan shows up at the school--and it's not an orangutan.
Episode 9 • Dec 31, 1969
Second Chances
There's trouble on Bangamat Island. Pregnant Ponti is missing, and her baby is due any day. Scouring the forest in search of a runaway orangutan is no simple task. Meanwhile, Clara and her infant Clarita are finally healthy enough to join the rest of the orangutans after overcoming a traumatic kidnapping, but an icy reception from the other residents could spell disaster for this little family.
Episode 10 • Dec 31, 1969
Return to the Wild
The pressure is high at Nyaru Menteng. A clumsy climber faces being held back if she can't start making progress. After being denied bananas one time too many, an overweight orangutan takes matters into his own hands. And for six remarkable jungle school graduates, it's a day of new beginnings. Journey into the heart of Borneo as these special creatures are finally set free.
