New Audubon Zoo Exhibit

The new Orangutan Exhibit opened at The Audubon Zoo a few weeks ago.  Its pretty wonderful and Minarie, the young Orangutan born at the zoo, was having a ball still getting used to her new surrounding.  We spent over an hour watching her play. She was drawing a huge crowd, including some of her keepers.  They reminded us she was 6 years old.  We remember when they allowed the public to see her for the first time.  We brought Emerson, she was 3. The large male Orangutan was not visible and we were told that he is not liking the new enclosure and is acting out towards Minarie and the female.  So they were allowing him to hang out by himself in the old enclosure.
