Artis Royal Zoo Orang-utan Mota

Well, male Vladimir might not accept another adult male orang in his group at Vienna. But I can't understand why Mota's only 6 year old daughter is not allowed to be with her Mum at Vienna. IMHO it will be pretty hard for Mota to get seperated from her kids to join a new group at a zoo where she won't understand any word of what the keepers are saying to her. But that might be no criteria for the studbook keeper. There just the question "where is breeding possible asap" does count ...
The reason for splitting up mother and daughters is that mota and the oldest daughter were living separate for a couple of years because they were fiting. The youngest daughter was most of the time playing with her oldest sister. So the sisters moved together to madrid were there is a young male so that they both can breed. In Vienna there is an old male and they don't expect much from him...

In the Monkey House, a registered monument (1908) of Amsterdam's Artis Zoo. The central part was for apes, left- and right-wing for monkeys.
