Awan Countries of rescue/origin: Awan

Awan is a female orang-utan that was born at the park on 02/05/12. Her father is Tuan and her mother is Hsiao-lan. However when she was seen for the first time it was Hsiao-quai that was carrying the baby. Awan was taken from Hsiao-quai to see if Hsiao-lan would take her baby and care for her, but she was not interested. Awan was given back to Hsiao-quai, who is a wonderful mother and was already feeding her 3 year old son, Jin. Awan means "cloud" in Indonesian.
