    Interesting how he was very thirsty- I imagine a day foraging in the forest must be exhausting for a newly-released Orangutan that has been used to captivity all its life. But this is such a worthwhile project- Perth Zoo are leading the World here with these zoobred Sumatran Orangutan rehabilitations.
