Orangutans in the Rain...

At the other end of this big loggy thing, there is an even larger orangutan. They do not like getting wet--in fact, when animal handlers have to bathe them, they bite and scratch. Normally, I would not find them quite so interesting, but one of the readings I taught (twice, because I have two classes that use the same book) was called "How to Babysit an Orangutan". It was about some orangutan orphanage in Borneo. Apparently they get poached a lot because they are so....cute.
