January\/February 2017<\/p>\nJanuary\/February 2017<\/p>\n
This time, I promised myself I'd be consistent with blogging. Promises, promises, promises \ud83d\ude42 It ended, as always, with blissful laziness. I'm nearing the end of my volunteering, so in this post I'll summarize what happened with the orangutans.<\/p>\n
During my first rotation, I worked in a preschool, which I managed to describe. The next rotation involved working with babies. Tourists can't see these orangutans; they're in a special room, and their playground is in the back. Only when they reach a certain age and fitness level are they transferred to the preschool.<\/p>\n
I was very curious if anyone new had appeared and how my babies from last year had grown.\u00a0Beryl and Bidu-Bidu<\/strong>, right after the end of my first project, they were promoted to preschool. In fact, they were doing exceptionally well, so I had the opportunity to meet them during their first rotation. Other than that, the team was the same as last year. Archi<\/strong>, Smallpox<\/strong> i Coco<\/strong>, These adorable little ones have grown a lot! They're still cute, but their progress is most noticeable. From screaming toddlers who weren't keen on climbing trees and playing on ropes, they've grown into independent, confident little orangutans who are already showing their true colors. Sepilok<\/strong>, whom I called "half-baby" a year ago, hasn't changed a bit. He was two years old then, and there was a huge difference between him and the three mentioned above. I don't think he's grown much, and his behavior hasn't changed at all. He hasn't matured at all. I have the impression that the three mentioned above are more mature than him. He's wonderful and sweet, but I don't think he's the brightest orangutan. Goman<\/strong> He hasn't changed at all. He still doesn't like people, he's still mean and rude to other orangutans, and he still often has diarrhea :). That's why I nicknamed him Shitman a year ago. Yesterday confirmed that it's the perfect nickname. He pooped on Archie's... head. Poor Archie had to be washed all over, and even though we were wearing masks, we almost dropped dead from the stench.<\/p>\n A year ago he was still in the nursery Peanut<\/strong>, When she arrived this year, he was in the process of being promoted to preschool. I had a bit of bad luck. During my first rotation, I was in preschool, and Peanut was still in daycare. When I started my rotation at daycare, he moved on to preschool. Nevertheless, it's good to know that another orangutan is doing great and is well on his way to becoming a wild orangutan.<\/p>\n Three new orangutans arrived at the nursery. Alagoo<\/strong>, already quite big and independent, who I think will be similar to Beryl. Mischievous but smart. She likes to grab her ponytail and pull out some hair, which she then plays with \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Musa<\/strong>,A little smaller than Alagoo, a friendly bald guy who can also be moody. He's probably not the biggest fan of climbing trees as soon as one of the regular staff leaves for a moment. Musa tries to climb down the tree or the rope. We, the volunteers, have no authority with him. We can beg and threaten, but he still has us in his corner... However, all it takes is for an employee to look at him, and he'll be quickened back to the rope or tree. One day, when I noticed Musa walking towards me, I started swinging the rope. This works for some orangutans, but never for Musa. This time, he suddenly turned around, and I felt proud that they were finally starting to listen to me, that I was gaining their respect. My joy was premature; I turned around and saw a giggling employee who had decided to play a prank on me. I didn't see him standing behind me; the orangutan started to scurry away at the sight of him, not mine! I should add that this man is a true orangutan whisperer. They love him, they treat him like one of them, and at the same time they respect him and listen to him very much.<\/p>\n The latest new resident is the lovely Bakut.\u00a0<\/strong>The little one is less than a year old and was kept as a pet. Fortunately, the Wildlife Department found out about it quite quickly. Residents' awareness is changing, and that's what's most important. Someone noticed that a neighbor had an orangutan and notified the authorities. Bakut had a cat, and he was so attached to it that the veterinarian who was there decided to take the cat too. The cat was later separated from Bakut, but gradually, unfortunately, as the orangutan grew, it could have harmed the cat, if not this one, then definitely another. Apparently, they don't like cats. The cat, of course, wasn't abandoned; it's living a happy life with the veterinarian.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, these are my last days in Sepilok. I loved all the orangutans, but I don't know if I'll ever return to this project. I'll definitely return to Sepilok; I definitely want to continue helping, just maybe in a slightly different way than before.<\/p>\n In the photo: Itinban aka Itchy Bum<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stycze\u0144\/luty 2017 Tym razem obieca\u0142am sobie \u017ce b\u0119d\u0119 systematyczna w pisaniu bloga. Obiecanki cacanki \ud83d\ude42 Sko\u0144czy\u0142o si\u0119 jak zawsze. B\u0142ogim lenistwem. Jestem ju\u017c przy ko\u0144cu mojego wolontariatu, streszcz\u0119 wi\u0119c w tym po\u015bcie co si\u0119 dzia\u0142o u orangutan\u00f3w. Podczas pierwszej rotacji pracowa\u0142am w przedszkolu, to uda\u0142o mi si\u0119 opisa\u0107. Kolejn\u0105 by\u0142a praca z dzidziusiami. Tych orangutan\u00f3w tury\u015bci nie widz\u0105, s\u0105 w specjalnym pomieszczeniu, a ich plac zabaw jest na zapleczu. Dopiero gdy osi\u0105gn\u0105 pewien wiek i pewn\u0105 sprawno\u015b\u0107, przenoszone s\u0105 do przedszkola. By\u0142am bardzo ciekawa czy kto\u015b nowy si\u0119 pojawi\u0142, oraz jak uros\u0142y moje dzidziusie z zesz\u0142ego roku.\u00a0Beryl i Bidu-Bidu, zaraz po ko\u0144cu mojego pierwszego projektu awansowa\u0142y do przedszkola. Faktycznie, radzi\u0142y sobie nadzwyczaj dobrze, wi\u0119c mia\u0142am okazj\u0119 si\u0119 z nimi spotka\u0107 ju\u017c podczas pierwszej rotacji. Poza tym ekipa by\u0142a ta sama co w zesz\u0142ym roku. Archi, Ospie i Koko, te przes\u0142odkie male\u0144stwa sporo uros\u0142y! Dalej s\u0105 s\u0142odkie ale u nich najbardziej wida\u0107 post\u0119py. Z rozwrzeszczanych brzd\u0105c\u00f3w kt\u00f3re \u015brednio chcia\u0142y \u0142azi\u0107 po drzewach i bawi\u0107 si\u0119 na linach, wyros\u0142y na niezale\u017cne, pewne siebie ma\u0142e orangutany, kt\u00f3re ju\u017c pokazuj\u0105 charakterki. Sepilok, kt\u00f3rego rok temu nazywa\u0142am p\u00f3\u0142dzidziu\u015b, nic si\u0119 nie zmieni\u0142. Wtedy mia\u0142 2 lata, wida\u0107 by\u0142o ogromn\u0105 r\u00f3\u017cnic\u0119 pomi\u0119dzy nim a w\/w tr\u00f3jk\u0105. Wydaje mi si\u0119, \u017ce niewiele ur\u00f3s\u0142, z zachowania nie zmieni\u0142 si\u0119 kompletnie nic. Nic nie wydoro\u015bla\u0142. Mam wra\u017cenie, \u017ce wspomniana tr\u00f3jka jest bardziej dojrza\u0142a od niego. Jest cudowny i przes\u0142odki, ale my\u015bl\u0119, \u017ce to nie jest najbystrzejszy orangutan \ud83d\ude42 Goman r\u00f3wnie\u017c si\u0119 nic nie zmieni\u0142. Dalej nie lubi ludzi, dalej jest z\u0142o\u015bliwy i niemi\u0142y do innych orangutan\u00f3w oraz \u00a0dalej cz\u0119sto miewa rozwolnienie :). Dlatego rok temu przezywa\u0142am go: Shitman. Wczorajszy dzie\u0144 potwierdzi\u0142 \u017ce jest to idealna ksywka. Narobi\u0142 Archiemu na … g\u0142ow\u0119. Biedny Archi musia\u0142 by\u0107 ca\u0142y myty, a my, mimo \u00a0\u017ce mia\u0142y\u015bmy maski na twarzy, o ma\u0142o nie pad\u0142y\u015bmy trupem od tego smrodu. Rok temu w \u017c\u0142obku by\u0142 jeszcze Peanut, kiedy przyjecha\u0142a w tym roku, by\u0142 w\u0142a\u015bnie w trakcie awansu do przedszkola. Mia\u0142am lekkiego pecha, kiedy podczas mojej pierwszej rotacji by\u0142am w przedszkolu, Peanut by\u0142 jeszcze w \u017c\u0142obku, kiedy zacz\u0119\u0142am moj\u0105 rotacj\u0119 w \u017c\u0142obku, on przeszed\u0142 do przedszkola. Niemniej jednak, dobrze wiedzie\u0107, \u017ce kolejny orangutan \u015bwietnie sobie radzi i jest na dobrej drodze do bycia dzikim orangutanem. Do \u017c\u0142obka przysz\u0142y trzy nowe orangutany. Alagoo, ju\u017c do\u015b\u0107 du\u017ca i niezale\u017cna, kt\u00f3ra my\u015bl\u0119 \u017ce b\u0119dzie podobna do Beryl. Psotliwa ale m\u0105dra. Lubi z\u0142apa\u0107 za kucyka i wyrwa\u0107 troch\u0119 w\u0142os\u00f3w, kt\u00f3rymi si\u0119 p\u00f3\u017aniej bawi \ud83d\ude42 Musa,\u00a0troch\u0119 mniejszy od Alagoo, sympatyczny \u0142ysol, kt\u00f3ry jednak te\u017c potrafi mie\u0107 humory. Nie jest chyba najwi\u0119kszym fanem chodzenia po drzewach, jak tylko kto\u015b ze sta\u0142ych pracownik\u00f3w odejdzie na chwil\u0119. Musa pr\u00f3buje zej\u015b\u0107 z drzewa, liny. My, wolontariusze, nie mamy najmniejszego autorytetu u niego. Mo\u017cemy prosi\u0107 i grozi\u0107 a on i tak ma nas w … Wystarczy jednak \u017ceby pracownik tylko na niego spojrza\u0142, a ten dostaje przyspieszenia z powrotem na lin\u0119 czy drzewo. Pewnego dnia, kiedy zauwa\u017cy\u0142am, \u017ce Musa idzie w moim kierunku, zacz\u0119\u0142am buja\u0107 lin\u0105, na niekt\u00f3re orangutany to dzia\u0142a, na Mus\u0119 nigdy. Tym razem nagle zawr\u00f3ci\u0142, ja ju\u017c poczu\u0142am dum\u0119, \u017ce w ko\u0144cu zacz\u0119\u0142y mnie s\u0142ucha\u0107, \u017ce zyskuj\u0119 ich szacunek. Moja rado\u015b\u0107 by\u0142a przedwczesna, odwr\u00f3ci\u0142am si\u0119 i zobaczy\u0142am chichraj\u0105cego pracownika, kt\u00f3ry postanowi\u0142 zrobi\u0107 mi psikusa. Nie widzia\u0142am jak stan\u0105\u0142 za mn\u0105 , orangutan zacz\u0105\u0142 zmyka\u0107 na jego widok, nie m\u00f3j! Dodam, \u017ce ten cz\u0142owiek to istny zaklinacz orangutan\u00f3w. One go uwielbiaj\u0105, traktuj\u0105 chyba jak jednego z nich, a zarazem bardzo szanuj\u0105 i s\u0142uchaj\u0105. Ostatnim nowym rezydentem jest uroczy Bakut.\u00a0Brzd\u0105c ma mniej ni\u017c rok, by\u0142 trzymany jako zwierz\u0119 domowe. Szcz\u0119\u015bcie w nieszcz\u0119\u015bciu, Wildlife Department dowiedzia\u0142 si\u0119 o tym do\u015b\u0107 szybko. Zmienia si\u0119 troch\u0119 \u015bwiadomo\u015b\u0107 mieszka\u0144c\u00f3w, a to jest najwa\u017cniejsze. Kto\u015b przyuwa\u017cy\u0142 \u017ce s\u0105siad ma orangutana i zawiadomi\u0142 odpowiednie w\u0142adze. Bakut mia\u0142 kota, by\u0142 tak do niego przywi\u0105zany, \u017ce weterynarz kt\u00f3ra by\u0142a przy jego odbiorze, postanowi\u0142a, \u017ce bior\u0105 te\u017c kota. Kot p\u00f3\u017aniej zosta\u0142 odseparowany od Bakuta, ale stopniowo, niestety jak orangutan uro\u015bnie to m\u00f3g\u0142by zrobi\u0107 kotu krzywd\u0119, jak nie ten to na pewno inny. Podobno nie przepadaj\u0105 za kotami. Kot oczywi\u015bcie nie zosta\u0142 porzucony, tylko wiedzie szcz\u0119\u015bliwe \u017cycie u pani weterynarz \ud83d\ude42 Niestety, to ju\u017c moje\u00a0ostatnie dni w Sepilok. Pokocha\u0142am wszystkie orangutany, ale nie wiem czy jeszcze wr\u00f3c\u0119 na ten projekt. Na pewno wr\u00f3c\u0119 do Sepilok, na pewno chc\u0119 dalej pomaga\u0107, tylko by\u0107 mo\u017ce w troch\u0119 innej formie ni\u017c dotychczas.
