Zoo observations

I observed the orangutans at the zoo. Their scientific name is "Pongo". They are found in Asia. The orangutan population has declined by 50% in the last 50 years. The Bornean and Sumatran species of Orangutans are endangered. In the zoo, they like to spend their time rolling around and doing summersaults around the enclosure while carrying some sweet lettuce.
