While this enclosure is better than most, if you must keep them-why dont you try to make them more like the natural environment? They are not meant to climb steel & sit on the ground. These ropes are no substitute. At least make it look & feel like trees. IT breaks my heart to see a tree dweller just sitting on the ground so that people can see it. Time to rethink zoos. They are saving an important animal but are changing the animals nature. They are normally more solitary. It may benefit them to be in more social situations but you are not helping it by forcing it to live on steel & cables & walk so much on the ground.
@@antipetaassociation4279 yea and they’re all hotwired up. If the apes try to climb them, they get an electric shock. It’s disgusting seeing this creature on the ground. Zoos and their supporters call it “awareness”. I never met one person that left the zoo and had been “more aware” about these endangered species. It’s all for entertainment only.
These are Sumatran Orangutans. There are two full grown females, one little girl (who visits her mom up on the bars and nurses for a moment,) and a dominant male.
Great question! For the orangutans, adult males and females have very different appearances. Males are bulkier and have the big skin flaps on either side of the face. The siamangs in the exhibit are harder to tell apart. If they're next to each other, the female is slightly smaller than the male.
In this case, there are two fully grown females - one on the ground, one up in the apparatus. There is one young little girl who goes to visit her mom up in the apparatus. Then Satu, who is a dominant male. Fully dominant males develop cheek flanges, long hair, and a large throat sac. Non-dominant males (none here) will be larger than females, but will not have cheek flanges or the other characteristics of a dominant male.

@@NinoG053 there are trees in the and branches enclosures too
The San Diego zoo is and expert in animals can’t they know what they are doing
@@NinoG053 and you realize bornean orangutans sometimes sit on the ground in the wild right?
And also they eat leaves so they put in leaves regularly.
Anti peta-your losin me
Can someone tell me if these are the Bornean or Sumatran Orangutans? Animal Behavior student here

Looking to the Fresno Zoo.Looking at other the fresno zoo
Dude's got dreads!😎

What I was imagining:
“Woof woof” said the orangutan
Me: “meow”
Other ape-monkey animal: “ Lets play tag!”
How can you tell if they are male or female? - Student from Anthro64

@@keithchan4616 Sorry sir what is the Superfamily of an Orangutan ?please help
@@Kitkattt_505 Their Superfamily is Hominoidea, which includes lesser apes, great apes, and humans.
The way I tell the difference is the ladies look like a medieval friar and the males look like a forest wizard.
