2014 in pictures: nr. 3

The real story: 

A staff member examines a 14-year-old male orangutan found with air gun metal pellets embedded in his body at the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Center in Indonesia on April 16. The center has cared for over 280 orangutans rescued from palm oil plantations, poachers and pet owners, and over 200 have been reintroduced into the wild. The critically-endangered primate population is dwindling rapidly due to poaching and destruction of their forest habitat as it is converted into palm oil plantations.

My students’ stories: 

Friday 1/7 2014 

Once upon a time I was walking around in the jungle when I heard a gun shot. I started to run, I jumped up in a tree but I was too big so the tree branch broke. Than I fell, fell down, when I finally touched the ground I fainted. When I woke up I was at an animal hospital. I had a terrible headache. A nurse helped me up and she took some samples before she let me out at to the jungle again. Every day after that I came back to the hospital and the nurse gave me bananas. Some times I stayed at the hospital  al night.

I don't know why but she makes me smile, I think it's because she saved my life, and now she's like a mom for me.

One day there was a monkey on the hospital. The monkey’s name is Loss. He is in the hospital because of his head. Loss has a very difficult headache the last couplel of weeks. Loss stand on a ZOO  when many people came. He is 36 years old and he is the most popular monkey in the world. 

Loss’ best friends Reall is 29 years old. Loss is a special monkey. Before he was on the ZOO, he was a pet. His old owner was allergic. 

Loss was also a circus monkey, bud now that he is at the ZOO, he is not a circus monkey. The doctor gave Loss antibiotics.

The monkey got hurt. But how did he get hurt? I have a pretty weird theory, maybe even two theories. Or I am just writing something that takes up a lot of space on the paper. Muahaha. I probably even made the text bigger…

First theory: monkey.

Just joking, the real first theory: The monkey probably did a monkey thing, like smelled some poop and fell from a tree. Or maybe he got in a fight against a stone.

Third and most likely theory: A man could have poisoned him. Or the monkey got a disease, maybe even got in a fight with a stone. Sorry, I don't know why I’m thinking about stones!
