UPDATE FROM THE ZOO
The Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center recently welcomed Kim, a 39-year-old orangutan, and her baby Max. They moved from the Jackson Zoo in Mississippi to Indianapolis because of the state-of-the-art facilities, expert veterinary staff, skilled ape caretakers and management philosophy.
Kim and Max have made some great improvement, and are adjusting well to their new home. For Orangutan's the habitat is ideal because it was designed with cables, fire hoses, ladders and other features to encourage climbing. This is especially helpful for Kim, who was a bit over weight when she arrived.
Do not miss a visit to the Efroymson Family Exploration Hub to experience first-hand the puzzle solving skills of the apes as they work together at several interactive stations. The orangutans here are into tech; in fact, they have the world’s first orangutan vending machines. And, they’re also learning new language skills on the computers in the Tim M. Solso Learning Studio. And, this is just the beginning of groundbreaking ways the orangutans at the Center will utilize technology.
