      I don\'t know the individual orangs well enough.
      Taken 10/4/15, outside the old orangutan house.

      It is Tuan.

      Tuan is the only fully adult male Bornean orang. He can only be seen when he is on the climbing frame on the old orang island, as shown here.

      Presumably that may change when the Sumatrans are shifted to the Islands area, and the Borneans replace them in the larger enclosures. I wonder what will fill the netted enclosures the rest of the Borneans currently occupy?
    • gentle lemur
      I hope that one of them will be adapted for Tuan. If so, he could still have access to an indoor section of the old Ape House. Assuming that Willie is in the 'Sumatran' part of RotRA with the females, they will only have contact through their calls.

      Which enclosures are these? Are they on display?
    • bongorob
      yes you see them when you first enter RORA and then again when you are leaving
    There are no comments to display.
