I was just there on saturday. I spent a lot of time watching him. He's a great orangutan. I got some great footage of him interacting with me. I have a video of him eating a piece of melon. He then accidentally drops it, and points at it, and then looks at me, and points at me, as if to say "pick it up please" I also have footage, where I put my hand to the glass and he does the same. I'll have to upload it.

Maybe he was saying, "Hey, this one's dirty, got another?"

Great Esc-Ape topic

Just love the red hair. And that face, so calm, I wonder if there is thinking going on behind those eyes. 8)
