Baby orangutans face extended quarantine at Odisha zoo

Two baby orangutans at Nandankanan Zoo in Odisha will spend an extended period in quarantine as part of mandatory health and acclimatization procedures. The zoo authorities have extended the initial quarantine timeline to ensure the animals' well-being before gradual integration with the general animal population.

The extended quarantine allows veterinary staff to monitor the orangutans' health status and behavior, ensuring they adapt properly to the zoo environment. The decision prioritizes the safety and welfare of the young animals during this critical adjustment phase.
