What a zoo should be about.

Young girl meets a young Orang u tan

Reactions: cornu aspersum
Note how the Orangs are gripping the artificial vines too- it should be compulsory to have these structures in all Orangutan enclosures!
 
I have a lot more photos leading up to this. The young Orang was sitting next to the older members. When he noticed the little girl he swung over to the right before making his way across to see her. I say he I'm just presuming! It was fantastic to see her face.

I think it's either 'Kirana' or 'Indah' offspring of Emma/Subis (Full sisters from Oscar and Padmona (sp?)) and Puluh (Imported from Australia).

Ramona was the mother of Emma and Subis. I think the female at the back of the photo is Subis, so the little one at the front is probably Kirana (but Orange Person and several other people are much better are identifying the orangs than I am :))

I'm terrible at identifying them, but at least I can recognise Puluh! The only individual at any zoo I am ever likely to see who is the exact same age as me to the day ;)
 
I never suggested it was unique or unusual experience. I mentioned the other photos and description because Pertinax mentioned the use of artificial vines.
 
I think it is Kirana but would need another photo to be sure..It is Subis and Utara in the background.

I don't think Subis and Emma look alike at all, they have completely different faces..:)

Lovely photo btw
