Rare Albino Orangutan Spotted in Borneo Rainforest

KATINGAN, Indonesia (AFP) — The world’s only known albino orangutan has been spotted alive and well in a Borneo rainforest, more than a year after she was released into the wild, conservationists say.

Alba, a blue-eyed primate covered in fuzzy white hair, was taken in 2017 from a cage where she was being kept as a pet by villagers in Indonesia’s section of Borneo, known as Kalimantan.

Alba was released back into the wild in late 2018.
