Orangutan Uses "Vending Machine"

This Orangutan from the Pairi Daiza in Belgium loves the "vending machine", in its enclosure. He comes down from the slope, wanting a snack. He picks up a stick and he gets to work. It looks like he's after the peanuts. What he has to do is start at the top, move from one opening to another with his stick and then move the peanut one floor down after another until it reaches the bottom and it will fall out. There are some plastic balls in there to make it a bit more difficult. What an awesome idea. Orangutans always stun me how they manage to use tools. I want one for every zoo I visit, no not an Orangutan, lol, a machine like that for the orangutans. lol! But seriously it's such a brilliant Idea.
This was my first time at the Pairi Daiza Park in Belgium and I'm in awe, the animals look so happy and healthy, a perfectly well kept zoo. It's superb for the animals. No horrible fencing anywhere! As natural as it is possible. Huge enclosures and you just need to look at the animals to know that they are happy. They thought about the visitors as well, there are so many angles you can see the animals from. The park is really well kept, it's the vast amount of grounds they've got and it's all very clean, tidy and well looked after. Every little thing they have thought about. I couldn't fault them on anything. Certainly a lot of zoos could benefit from looking at this one. So make sure to visit if you're nearby! There is lots more to come over the next few weeks from this park and also kicking off the new temporary Wednesday series ( you might of had a clue from my banner :-) : The Brown Bears!
