Turn right Clyde


Hear no evil, speak no evil, and See no evil

Do you remember the old Clint Eastwood films from the 70’s? Every Which Way or something like that. He had an Orang-utan called Clyde.

At a Zoo I went to at the weekend I was privileged to have two Orang-utans sit with me and have their photo taken.

Weird creatures, they are very clingy and curious, the larger one seemed intent on pulling the hairs out of my arm with its lips, whilst the smaller one just wanted to be held.

Their skin is like an OAP’s and the hair could do with a gallon of conditioner on it. I’m not sure how the Zoo got hold of the two creatures; they seemed happy and well fed. I will do a post later about the Zoo and my hand feeding of an eight week old Tiger Cub.
