Kabu, I thought you said you have breakfast with a big ape EVERY morning!

That's pretty neat that the orangutan offered you food. You bonded quickly albeit too quick as the near end of the story shows...

I might have enjoyed watching that, but I don't think I'd
want to get that close to an Orangutan. Especially one with a baby in hand. Mothers can be so protective... Sounds like a wonderful experience.

Hey, this sounds interesting. Do they still have these Breakfat-with-the-
orangutan trips/shows?

What a brilliant story! Ed and I went to Singapore zoo last year, with our eldest daughter, her husband and our granddaughter, then aged three. I don't think they do breakfast with the orangutans now, but we had our picture taken with them. They sat on a branch above us, but this long arm kept sneakin down and playing with my hair. It was really spooky - and a bit scary!

So many adventures Kabu and such a delicate exploration by a nursing mother.

That is so very interesting! I should've liked to have dined with the orangutan (sp?) too, but minus the liberties she took with you. She took friendly to a whole new level...!

Kabu
That is incredible. I think she was simply acknowledging how alike you were, now I would have fainted if she had handed the baby over for a feeding. LOL What a life you have had. Too much fun. LOL

They can be quite curious, playful creatures...mostly at our expense. What a wonderful expirience! Truly beautiful animals...
