Why does it look like Mabel is up to something naughty? 👀

That side-eye says it all. Jungle School is in session, and Mabel did NOT come to behave. 😅🦧

Big orangutan smiles all round today! 😄🧡

Arto certainly has his grin on, and we hope you find a reason to smile too. Even if it’s something small, like a quiet moment outside in the fresh air. 🌿

Happiness doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful.

Did you know? Sumatran orangutans, like precious little Maximus here, are usually lighter in colour and often have longer, finer, extra-frizzy body hair. Bornean orangutans tend to have darker, shorter coats.
