Zoo Barcelona Orangutans

Well, I don't have many information about the orangutans of Barcelona because primates are not my favorite animals and the orangutans enclosure is specially horrible and hurts my eyes.... This is the orangutan enclosure: http://www.zoochat.com/467/orangutan-58414/

According to ISIS, the zoo keeps four orangutans, 1 male and 3 females (one born on 21/11/08), but usually only two of them are on the outside enclosure (The indoor area is private). The baby orangutan is only visible to the visitors on monday, tuesday and wednesday if the weather conditions are apropiate. I uploaded two pictures of the baby orangutan:

The male is called Karl. The mother of the newborn is called Locki and three years ago had another offspring, called Jawi. The name of the newborn is going to be voted by the people via the zoo website.

That's all the info that I have. If you want to know something else I can try to find it.
 
Karl is born on 30.11.1997 in Dublin. Sibu x Leonie. He arrived in Barcelona in 2005.
Loki is born on 03.01.1989 in Duisburg. Max x Susi. She arrived in Barcelona in 1996.
Lokis daughter Jawi is born on 29.11.1997 in Barcelona. Her father is called Kadim.
