Orangutan kept in a tiny wooden box for two years is finally rescued
He spent two years shut in a dark wooden box before he was finally rescued.
Kotap, a young four-year-old male orangutan, was found in a box measuring just 10 square feet (1 square metre) when rescuers in Indonesia got to him.

The man holding him, named Baco, claimed to have been given the orangutan by some people he met in his village, IAR said in a Facebook post.

He was fed a human diet that included uncooked instant noodles and sugary drinks.

Officials had to visit Baco several times before being able to persuade him to surrender Kotap.
But it wasn't easy to rescue the frightened monkey, even after obtaining permission.

"He became nervous and aggressive which is not surprising. So during the long journey back to the centre we kept people away from him so that he remained as quiet and calm as possible.”
Kotap will now be taken to join other rescued orangutans at the IAR's rescue centre for treatment and rehabilitation.

"Thankfully now he will join other rescued orangutans at our centre and be given a chance of returning to the forest where he belongs."
