40-year-old Sumatran orangutan recovering after falling out of a tree and breaking his leg

Puyul the orangutan won't be monkeying around for quite some time - after he broke his leg by falling out of a tree.



The 40-year-old plummeted to the ground when conservationists found him roaming at a rubber plantation too close to an Indonesian village.



Vets from the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) treated him at a clinic in Batu Mbelin, North Sumatra. They also removed an air rifle pellet from his body.
