Ori's World of Friendimals

My name is "Ori Tang", the baby Orangutan, and I belong to a new and wonderful family called the FRIENDIMALS^TM. We are your Endangered Animal Friends! I look most like my creator, Sandy and her human counterparts, so I have become the spokesperson of my group. I am very shy, but because I have seen so much work being done to help save Endangered Species, my FRIENDIMALS ^TM cousins have encouraged me to speak out.

Our mandate is to help children learn all about the Endangered Animals on this Earth. We FRIENDIMALS^TM are a concept project of endangered animal babies & parents, all happy that our plight is finally being recognized. We are not only cute & cuddly, but there are stories and songs that give each of us a fine character. Our enemies, like "Poach Degg" and his wife "Coddles" always get their just rewards!

Did you know that Endangered Species are the NUMBER 1 Environmental concern of our age? We are the only project of our kind that is totally dedicated to Endangered Species animals for children. Our hang tag is a FRIENDIMAL^TM passport and our motto is "PROTECT ME, PAMPER ME, PLAY WITH ME". We must let all the wild animals remain in their natural habitat where they belong, but we can take a FRIENDIMAL book home to read.

Now that "THE MISADVENTURES OF ORI TANG" is a picture book for boys and girls, there will soon be a wonderful and informative FRIENDIMAL^TM web site. We belong in stories and song, in stickers, toys and games, in ANIMATION, video, film, food and in educational ads. We each have our own personal passport. I am Ori Tang, spokes animal and Eagle Pearl is our diplomatic courier and world citizen.

We are fun to be with. We are whimsical, mischievous and adventurous just like you!! We have endless stories and songs for you to enjoy.

Can you imagine how powerful I could be along with the panda, the bears, wolves and toucans trying to protect our forests? I need those vines to swing on! What about otters, polar bears, walruses, eagles, dolphins, manatees and seals working for environmentally conscious oil companies? Winifred Walrus, Oliver Otter and Rocky Marshmallow are literally dying to help out. Nobody wants oil spills and ruined rain forests.....

We are looking for the right person to help us become Nature's Spokespersons, the World's conscience. We want to be endorsed by and belong to a large company that wants to present and preserve the finest environmental image to the public - Oil companies, Giant food chains, Electronics, ANIMATION = and WE ARE IT!! Sandy and her crew are willing to work with this company in any capacity to achieve these ends. A happy, successful and prosperous relationship. This is for a most financially rewarding, timely and endearing project.

Ingrid E. Newkirk, Founder and President of PeTA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), has accepted the dedication of our song "Do Animals Cry".
