It is with a heavy heart and immense sadness that we must inform you that Gempa, our beloved orangutan, whom you cherished as deeply as we did, passed away on September 24th. Gempa had been ill for several weeks. Despite all the care he received and the full dedication of our teams, it quickly became clear that his health was irreversibly deteriorating. The numerous tests performed – ultrasounds, X-rays, scans, and blood tests – along with constant consultations with external veterinarians and specialized doctors, revealed that a staphylococcal infection, despite the treatments administered, had triggered disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This complication caused severe damage to his body: digestive bleeding, motor impairments, and organ failure, leaving no hope for recovery.

Given this tragic situation and the fact that Gempa was suffering more each day, our veterinarians, with an immensely heavy heart, made the decision to let him go peacefully.
