Doc Antle is the founder of a sanctuary in South Carolina, USA. A stray dog Roscoe, followed Antle and Suryia, an orangutan in the Centre, through the park’s gate in 2006. Suryia immediately began playing with the dog. The two animals would frolic in the enclosure for a few hours every day, swimming in the pool and rolling on the grass. The orangutan would even take Roscoe for a walk on a leash!
Suryia will take Roscoe for walks around the enclosure and even feeds him some of his monkey biscuits. When they are both feeling a little lazy they will go for a ride on the back of Bubbles, our 27-year-old African elephant.’ That was two years ago and they’ve been fast friends since. Their story has been featured in many articles and TV shows including National Geographic’s Unlike Animal Friends.
