Rocky is playful, has lots of
energy, loves attention and
likes to find trouble. He started
his life in the entertainment
industry, and at one time,
was the most seen orangutan
in commercials, movies
and other media. Raised by
humans, he did not live with
other orangutans until he was
three-and-a-half years old.
When he was introduced to
other orangutans, he and Knobi
immediately formed a strong
bond. She quickly became his
adopted mother and taught
him how to behave with other
orangutans.
