The recent drought in Indonesia has made him pretty thirsty. Temperatures have reached 95 degrees there.

The Orangutan Borneo are rare animals, including endangered species in the world to protect its existence and is widely available in Indonesia.

Orangutan populations in Indonesia’s Borneo and Sumatra island are facing severe threats from habitat loss, illegal logging, fires and poaching. Conservationists predicted that without immediate action, the orangutans are likely to be the first great ape to become extinct.
