Doesn't everyone love monkeys (and apes)? I know I do.

I've been a fan of Orangutans ever since Flitworth introduced me to Discworld and its Librarian. At the National Zoo, they have a set of fun-loving Orangutans, and interact with them in the Think Tank doing cognition research. They've even built a skyway for them to swing between their two habitats, brachiating above the zoo-goers (it's called the Orangutan Transport System, or O-line). You can see some of their projects here.

They're also just fun to interact with; this is a documentation of the human animal as well.



Though sometimes they decide they don't want to play any more.



As a bonus, I also took a video of some adorable Golden Lion Tamarins, with a volunteer talking about how they let them range outside in the summer.



As a double bonus, I tried to document the tiger cubs. However, it turns out the internet is right. Where can you see tigers? Only in Kenya.
