Tiga

Orang-utan Forest 26/7/09

So he doesn't hide all the time - unless his covers have been removed?

I think he was locked out of his offshow areas, if thats what you mean?

He's usually hiding under a pile of sheets etc.

Yes, he was walking around alot with an item of clothing over his head and shoulders.

Looks like he may be settling in if he's prepared to show himself. Next question- Can they keep him with Rajang?

They have been introduced now but when I went they were seperated.

They were together 1st thing this morning (being observed by a couple of keepers) and appeared to be having a great time. Tiga seemed to be instigating play by climbing onto the low beams and peering at Rajang, then jumping on him ..... whereupon they rolled around for a bit. Then, as Tiga retreated back onto the beams, Rajang slapped his head a bit - but very casually, not forcefully - before wandering off towards the hatch to the outside ....... followed by Tiga in hot pursuit. Rajang was then distracted by a pineapple en route and didn't actually make it out (still have never seen him out there) but Tiga went outside - though didn't use any of the equipment while I was there.

(will post up some pics of them together tomorrow)
