Sorrow...
234.366: Leela, one of the female oragutans at the Erie Zoo, will be moving out in short time over to the Toledo Zoo on recommendation from the breeding program which the zoo participates in. Apparently when orangutans reach nine years old they typically venture out and leave their families. It was really cute to see her and the little one roaming their exhibit area covered up with bed sheets. Except she decided to curl up and lie next to the outside window.
If anyone knows the name of the youngest oragnutan born this year please let me know. I was looking for the sign and/or a zoo keeper but didn't find any.
