This is Chendra. She was found wandering — orphaned, alone, and hungry — near a palm oil plantation in Malaysia. She had wounds on her front legs and her left eye, and she ultimately became blind in that eye. Because Chendra was young, she could not be reunited with her herd or released back into the wild.
She has been living happily at the Oregon Zoo now and plays a critical role as "auntie" to the new calves.
