Donnie Thornberry

Donald "Donnie" Michael Thornberry is one of the main characters from the Nickelodeon animated series . He is a energetic wild young boy who had been raised by orangutans after his biological parents, Michael and Lisa, were killed by poachers. He was eventually found in Borneo by his biological parents' old friends, Nigel and Marianne Thornberry, as they were filming an episode about orangutans for their nature show, and eventually adopted into their family. Being raised in the wild, Donnie typically cannot speak English, instead frequently making animal noises that Eliza cannot seem to understand.
