This is very interesting, also I guess the Sumatran needs more so help than the Borneon in terms of population,

Apenheul in The Netherlands have Borneans. Males, females, offspring all together. In July this year a new male (Amos) was introduced, first separated from the rest. But now he is living with female Wattana.

The IUCN considers the Sumatran orangutan as 'critically endangered', and the Bornean as 'endangered'.

I collect info about the apes I see such as name, gender, date and place of birth, zoo history, parents - basically the info you woud normally find on a zoo taxon sheet. Some zoos are happy to email me their taxon sheets but other are not. Does anyone know if such taxon sheets are available anywhere on the net ?

Moscow Zoo

Hi

Yes I have loads of photos of the orangutans from moscow zoo, I will find out how to get photos on to this site and let you know when I have loaded them. Sadly I did not get hardly any of th gorillas as they stayed in their inside enclosure which was not available to the public. The zoo was excellent and the enclosures were new and very good. Moscow was also wonderful and I can highly recommend it.

Hi thanks for your message.

The enclosures did have inside quarters which the animals could go into at any time, they were not accessible to the public so I do not know what they were like. When we went to Russia in the 2nd &3rd weeks of June it was scorching hot even at night and so they would have needed cooling fans not heaters.
