(man yelling)
00:02
The familiar call for fruit time rings out.
00:08
And on the edge of Bangamat Island,
00:16
orangutans begin to gather
00:18
on one of several feeding platforms.
00:28
The fruit delivery comes daily.
00:30
But it's just a supplement to the food
00:35
these older orangutans forage for
00:37
in the jungle on their own.
00:38
Fina is becoming wilder
00:47
and prefers to eat her booty in the trees.
00:50
(man yelling)
00:52
But Bruni chooses the platform,
01:02
along with Ping and Lupa.
01:05
The three females are soon joined by 13-year-old Jakka,
01:15
a big dominant male here on Bangamat Island.
01:19
(man yelling)
01:20
Who uses his status to get the best seat at the table.
01:23
In the wild, adult males live solitary lives
01:31
and would never sit and eat
01:33
with a group of females like this.
01:35
These orangutans won't be fully grown adults
01:42
till they're around 15 years old.
01:46
But this peaceful food sharing is a testament
01:48
to the bonds they forged growing up together as orphans.
01:52
Roho, another of the older females here,
02:00
arrives and seems hesitant.
02:02
But Jakka signals that she can join in.
02:07
(water sloshing)
02:10
In the canopy above,
02:31
female Kadik doesn't seem happy to be left out of lunch.
02:35
(Kadik squeaking)
02:38
Her kiss squeaks may sound cute,
02:40
but they're actually a sign of agitation.
02:44
Jakka takes little notice.
02:53
So Kadik leaf wipes her arms.
02:58
It's a known sign of frustration for orangutans.
03:03
(Kadik squeaking)
03:06
Rescued when she was three and a half,
03:09
Kadik was too wild to go to jungle school.
03:12
So she missed out on bonding with her island mates
03:15
when she was younger.
03:16
Now she's reluctant to join the others on the platform.
03:22
But this may not be a bad thing.
03:27
The technicies watch her closely.
03:34
(water sloshing)
03:37
At each visit, they monitor the orangutans' behavior.
03:39
Since 2012, over 250 orangutans have been chosen
03:48
for these islands to be released back
03:50
into protected areas of true wilderness.
03:53
In the wild, orangutans are considered semi-solitary apes.
04:01
Unlike their highly social cousins,
04:03
the chimpanzees.
04:04
Adults rarely spend time together,
04:09
unless they're mating,
04:10
or females who occasionally hang out with related females.
04:14
Kadik and the other pre-release students
04:21
must figure out the specific hierarchy on their own,
04:24
as they would in the wild after they lose their mothers.
04:31
Kadik avoiding conflict and being opportunistic,
04:35
shows that she's already on the right track.
04:38
Rowo's still hungry,
04:42
but she's got better table manners.
04:46
She pulls the branch to her,
04:58
like fruit kebab sticks she learned to forage
05:01
within jungle school.
05:02
The technicies' observations of these orangutans
05:13
will help determine who will be chosen next
05:16
to be released into the wild.
