>> my name is debbie cobb.
my grandmother, anna mae noell,
passed away
in october of 2000,
leaving behind her 53 primates
that i had to figure out
how to care for.
>> debbie, i'm jamie.
nice to meet you.
>> glad to meet you.
>> you know, i see there's a lot
of retirees here in florida.
yours are a pretty wild bunch.
>> well, you haven't seen
the half of it.
>> what a beautiful place.
it's a 12-acre primate
sanctuary,
full of irresistible characters.
like pongo, a 400-pound
male orangutan.
>> he really, really likes you
jamie,
because he doesn't
just purr for anybody.
[ pongo vocalizing softly ]
>> that's purring.
>> that's purring.
>> i can tell he's a flirt.
>> oh, a big one.
>> pongo's original home was
a zoo in south carolina.
but he didn't play well
with the other orangutans.
>> bye, pongo.
>> these guys don't get the
option of being able to go to a
zoo, so they would have had to
be euthanized if they didn't
come here.
there's somebody else
i want to introduce you
to, is blue...
