    Two days ago a Sumatran orangutan was born in the Ichikawa city zoo. The zoo got their orangutan from a sister city Medan, Indonesia. This baby is the third offspring of the couple.

    There are currently five zoos in Japan which keep Sumatran orangutans

    I've retitled the thread to be more informative. Is this a zoo you have visited? It's probably worth adding it's own gallery and subforum to the site: Open - New Gallery Request Thread 2018

    Nope I did not visit the Ichikawa city zoo. I just added this as a news for japan in general since I doubt the Ichikawa zoo is recognized as much as most other zoos in Japan.
