Five baby orangutan don appear for forest for Odisha state for India, and dis one don make authority begin investigate how dem take reach there. Dem be animal wey no dey native to India at all.

Im talk say dem find di five animals for Ranakata, wey be proposed reserve forest for Bhogarai block, near West Bengal border. Di area dey covered with casuarina trees, and e no be dense forest.

Odisha government don reportedly ask India Wildlife Crime Control Bureau to come investigate. Police, forest officials, and special task force don involve for di matter.
