Channel 4 brings us Orangutan Jungle School in 2019. And while the show pretty much does what it says on the tin, there’s so much more to this docuseries once you get watching.
The TV programme has got the nation falling in love with each and every one of the Orangutans on the show. From milk-fiend Beni to new baby Monita.
Heartwarming and faith-restoring, Orangutan Jungle School is refreshing and sheds light on the people spending their lives rectifying what the human race is doing to these precious wild animals.
While the Orangutans, their babysitters and the medics are all new to viewers, the show’s voice-over artist sounds seriously familiar. Now, let’s meet Laura Shavin – the Orangutan Jungle School narrator!
