Princess is a long time resident of Camp Leakey in Tanjung Puting National Park. In her first couple years as an orphan, she was hand-raised by Dr. Birute M. Galdikas. She clung to Dr. Galdikas like she was her baby. A silent female whose interests mainly revolved around food, Princess became the favorite playmate of Dr. Galdikas's 1 year old son, Binti. Binti mimicked Princess quite well. National Geographic shows how close they all were, and the orangutans were beginning their lessons in sign language. Princess acquired 20 signs in less than one year and added to her fame. Nowadays Princess is older but still child-bearing and has had several children.
