8/16/2025 - Orangutan Habitat

Hmm... not among the more arboreal orangutan exhibits I've seen, which is interesting for a new build.
 
@Coelacanth18 For what it's worth, in nearly every photo/video I've seen of them outdoors the orangs have been off the ground in some form: hanging out in the faux trees, using the bamboo sway poles, scaling the mesh, etc. There definitely could've been more climbing opportunities though.

@JVM The difference only several weeks can make is astonishing. Although I still feel there's some unrealized potential in this enclosure, my opinion of it has been elevated now that the landscape is coming in. Makes me excited to see how things look a year from now and beyond.
