MEET SOME OF IPPL'S SANCTUARY ANIMALS AND TAKE A LOOK AT THEM!

Arun Rangsi

As an adult.

Arun Rangsi was born in a California laboratory on 9 August 1979. Sadly, his mother abandoned him the day he was born. He was placed with a substitute mother made of wire and was given the number HL-98 which was tattooed in blue on his chest.

During his first year of life, tiny HL-98 had pneumonia twice and dysentery twice. He came close to death many times.

Then fate took a positive turn for HL-98. The laboratory lost its government funding and had to place all its gibbons. HL-98 came to IPPL Headquarters on his second birthday and was given the Buddhist name Arun Rangsi. When he came, Arun Rangsi banged his head all the time and was terrified of people. But gradually he became a normal gibbon and now he lives with his companion Shanti and his own gibbon family.

As a baby.

UPDATE: Arun Rangsi is 20 years old!
