Orang-utan 6th April 1998

Although his coat is light-gingerish more like a Sumatran's, this is the Bornean male 'Benjamin' who came from Dublin as an adult male, but originated in Germany. He has never bred at Dudley(or anywhere else) which may be the result of early handraising though I don't know the exact cause/explanation. I happened to be at Dudley the day after his arrival there- he was very nervous, sitting high up on a tyre indoors and reluctant to leave it, while there was fear-diahorrea all over the floor.
