As promised, here are a couple of pictures of Boni, one of the four orangutans that we released into lamandau at the end of last year.

Boni’s a stunner! I love the profile shot of her.

Last night at the zoo in my “Intro to Primates” class I learned that orangs are “quadrumanous,” the only apes that use all four feet as hands. Pretty cool.

Your right about that Sheryl, although I didn’t know the term for it. I’ve seen the orangs use their feet as hands to grasp objects such as food. It is also true their teeth is like ours as they have the same amount of enamel. Stephen, good work releasing them back where they will be able to live their lives as orangs. Boni, we wish you and your pals many happy years!
