Male, Tuan, wild born 1987
The keeper said that they put food high up early every morning and the orangs are all up there eating when they are let out, but then spend most of the day on the ground.

But, Gordon does seem to like looking around from on high. When his 'group' and Tuan's 'group' were next door to each other, Gordon spent his time long-calling from the top of the poles, contrary to orangutan etiquette, and annoying Tuan. So Gordon's 'group' was moved to the other end of the park which, incidentally, is where I first saw him as an infant when that was the only orang area.

yes, the Gordon group enclosure encompasses( but is much larger than) the original simple enclosure that held his parents Banghi and Amy. There may be a photo in the album?
