Talk about a wild education! This series follows a gang of orphan orangutans from a unique rehab school in Borneo. Watch as cute preschoolers, adventurous toddlers and naughty teens learn to navigate life in the wild—in the hopes of roaming free.
EPISODE 1
And So It Begins…
Head to the heart of Central Kalimantan, Borneo—home to one of the most unique schools in the world. There are 68 students in all, including class clown Valentino (who loves a short-cut) and class couple Darril and Liti (who have their first fight).
EPISODE 2
Movin’ On Up
Best buds Valentino, Madara and Utris are ready for the next stage of forest school. Baby Clarita is at long last reunited with her mother. And toddler Mema discovers a tasty treat inside a rotten log (it can happen!).

King Kasper
Even orangutans have to watch what they eat. Find out if Beni can stick to a leafy green diet (and stop stealing food). See what kind of tasty treats Lanting can find while skipping class. And watch as Rebecca prepares to return to a truly wild life.
