Born to Be Wild observes various orphaned jungle animals and their day-to-day behavioural interactions with the individuals who rescue them and raise them to adulthood. The film unfurls in two separate geographic spheres. Half of it takes place in the rain forests of Borneo, where celebrated primatologist Dr. Birute Galdikas assists baby orangutans; the other half takes place on the arid savannahs of Kenya, where zoologist Dame Daphne Sheldrick works with baby elephant calves.

Born to Be Wild is a 2011 documentary that follows orphaned jungle animals in two distinct habitats as they're rescued and raised by dedicated wildlife experts. The film splits its focus between Dr. Birute Galdikas's work with baby orangutans in Borneo's rainforests and Dame Daphne Sheldrick's care for elephant calves on Kenya's savannahs. It captures the day-to-day behavioral interactions between these animals and their human caretakers as they grow toward adulthood.
