I was recently at the zoo and had a conversation
with one of the zoo keepers who works with
orangutans. She shared with me that they give
the orangutans magazines and they tend to rip
out pictures of other animals and monkeys and
with the boring magazines with no pictures they
pee on them.
Close to Humans

At zoos I have many times seen the
monkeys wearing socks or shirts, drinking
out of water bottles and reading the
newspaper. Orangutans and other
monkeys are very much like humans. They
have the same senses and they have
opposable thumbs. Families have been
known to raise monkeys and teach them
to ride bikes and to human activities.
Orangutans as Pets?

Orangutans may sound like the perfect pet
but they are far from that. As babies they
would be perfectly fine but once they start
to get older they start to get aggressive.
They are not trying to be mean but it is
their natural instinct. So sadly we will have
to stick to seeing them in zoos and if your
lucky the wild
