Previously in our three-part series our team – and our orangutans – were heading to Auckland Airport to catch their flight to Orana Park in Christchurch.
Our senior primate keepers Amy, Craig and vet An made it to Christchuch but due to a thick blanket of fog around Christchurch Airport the scheduled cargo flight for our orangutans was cancelled later that evening - this led to a search for the next available flight that could accommodate three crates with three special Bornean orangutans inside!
