🐵🧠How do primate keepers encourage our western lowland gorillas and orangutans to use their natural foraging skills? By making mealtime fun! Along with toys and training sessions, enrichment can include presenting everyday diet items, like carrots, in fun shapes. In this video, orangutan Iris is foraging for spiral-cut carrots that keepers have hidden among the hay. Every day at 1:30 p.m., meet a primate keeper and learn all about orangutans, guenons and more in Think Tank! PLAN YOUR VISIT: ht
