    Hello!

    I have been researching Sumatran Orangutans for some time and I am looking to make contact with anyone who may have memories of working with or visiting this animal.

    It is believed he was a capture from the wild, and spent time at Monroe(1962-1965), Omaha(1965-1983), and Brownsville zoo(1983- death in 1992).

    My interest is not wholly centered around his fairly well known continual escapes but any stories that anyone has are very welcome regardless of content.

    Also if anyone has any old photographs of him I would be incredibly grateful if you could share them, nothing will be used in any publication without consent.

    Thanks all.
