Description
Melbourne Zoo's huge Orang-utan Sanctuary opened in spring 2006. It provides a complex three-dimensional environment, and Zoos Victoria is conducting ongoing research to monitor the behaviour and activity levels of the apes in this exhibit. They leave out puzzles each day that contain food. The apes need to figure out ways to open them in order to get the treats!

Très belle photo avec une belle expression qui montre à la fois de la curiosité et de l'inquietude. Les couleurs sont belles ainsi que la précision des détails.

Long Face and wonderful red hair!! With the "idiosyncratic" search for food is her life in the zoo a little more interesting.

What an interesting face - he (she?) seems to be posing for your shot. I'm glad I don't have to solve puzzles before getting my dessert...

Interesting info and a very nice capture. I hope humans will learn a lesson from this and solve their own problems in getting food to the hungry. Aloha

A fantastic photo Andrew and it warms my heart when zoos, like yours, challenge the animals so that their minds don't go to Hell!
