Orangutans in water
Category: Orangutans, Uncategorized | Date: Jul 16 2009 | By: orangutanfoundation
A recent newspaper article about orangutans in water encouraged us to dig out some old pictures taken of orangutans in water. Some go as far back as 1986. We thought we’d share them with you.

The photo below was taken earlier in the year and is of a female orangutan called Siswi.

Siswi is really special. I hope to see her, Tom, Kusasi, Linda with Leonardo and all the others back in April 2010 when we will come for a week to Tanjung Puting Nationalpark.

They just tolerate water is that correct?
