Animals moved to new homes

PALANGKARAYA, Central Kalimantan: Inhabitants of the one- million-hectare natural zoo in the Kapuas regency will be moved to a new home in the Tanjung Puting national park, about 500 kilometers west of here.

"The animals will be taken to their new home in several lifts to prevent any of those endangered animals from suffering stress," Chief of the Palangkaraya police precinct Col. Deddi Gandrijadi was quoted by Antara as saying.

Among the animals are orangutans, deer, and several species of bears.

The Tanjung Puting national park is well known as an orangutan rehabilitation center. (14)
