An adorable baby orangutan has made a miraculous recovery after being found in deplorable conditions in a urine soaked box. "He had been dumped in a filthy cardboard box and left out in the sun to die," said a rep from International Animal Rescue, the charity which found little Gito in Borneo. The cute primate was too weak to sit up on his own and was suffering from diarrhoea and a painful contagious mange. Once at the rescue center he was massaged with coconut oil to soothe his skin condition and placed on a drip for rehydration. He is now said to be "healthy, happy and alert" with a couple of new front teeth in the making. "Gito was less than five months old when our rescue team in Borneo found him," said Alan Knight, chief executive at International Animal Rescue. "Considering the condition he was in when he was saved, his recovery has been remarkable". (Photo by Animal Rescue/Splash News)
