This is the Orangutan youngster from the Paignton Zoo in Devon England. The zoo staff had a surprise for the Borneo orangutans; they put a giant fruit flavoured ice Popsicle in their habitat and also a nice big blanket to play with. The popsicle seem to have all kind of stuff in in like mixed fruit, veg and herbs. All the favourite foods they like. Orangutan Tatau was that happy, she went totally crazy over her surprise this morning.
She wrapped herself around the ice lolly with her blanket, as if to make it her own and nobody else could have it. She then started to spin like crazy like a whirlwind. Round and round and round. You wonder what she feels like. Do Orangutans get dizzy? Certainly watching it does. She just doesn’t give up spinning and having the time of her live.
Tatau was born on the 11th of April 2013 to mother Mali and father Demo. It says on a plaque that she use to be very timid, but now has tantrums when she doesn’t get her own way. She loves to play and show off, which very obvious from this video footage.
