hansnl Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Old age? Really? Orangutans can, on average, in captivity or free, reach an age of 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Old age? Really? Orangutans can, on average, in captivity or free, reach an age of 30 years. They usually have their first offspring at around 14-15 years old so don't buy the old age either. Died from abuse would be more accurate. An orangutan’s lifespan is about 35-40 years in the wild, and sometimes into the 50’s in captivity. They reach puberty at about 8 years of age, but a female isn’t ready for her own baby until she’s in her teens. http://www.orangutan.com/orangutans/orangutan-facts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Murder charges? No murder charges. There were no signs of a struggle in the cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iReason Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 "Milo died from a stroke at 8pm last night following health complications due to her long-term poor nutrition..." Baboons looking after the orangutan could have done a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
