Odisha Zoo Cares for Smuggled Orangutans as CCTV Evidence Expands Sea Route Probe

Two young orangutans, aged between six months and one year, are currently being housed at a zoo in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Authorities are investigating how the animals were smuggled into India, with CCTV footage helping trace their movement and the probe now extending to possible sea routes. The infant primates are being given mashed apples as food while classical music is played in their enclosure to help keep them calm. The case has raised serious concerns about international wildlife trafficking networks operating through Indian ports.
