Orangutan Loves Gibbon Baby - Cincinnati Zoo

[@spudeism]

Gibbons and Orangutans are like polar opposites - small vs. big - fast and agile vs. while agile very lumbering due to its size - active vs. calm - spontaneous vs. thoughtful and premeditating - loud noisy vs. while occasionally loud usually calm and quiet It's like seeing hyperactive kid vs. old philosopher who knows everything

Those are two different orangutans, the first one with the smaller face is the female one who is more passive and wasn’t following them. In the next shot is the male one who seems more aggressive and was trying to chase them away.

The female Orangs at my zoo never really seem bored, except for one of the males whenever they take his access to the high ropes away. I know Rocky gets bummed because he can't go up, around, and eat grass. Charlie likes space. He has his own yard most of the time with access to grass, but he could do with some more.
