Flashback Friday to ... SNOW DAYS!
Snow days were play days for the orangutans at the El Paso Zoo. The orangutans had access during the snow, which means they have the option of staying in their warm, behind the scenes living spaces or going out into their habitat areas.
Daddy Butch likes the snow! He’ll stay out in the orangutan habitat and enjoy the weather. Mommy Ibu avoids stepping on the snow in her habitat, but will swing her way across to find the best patch of grass and sunshine. Khaleesi stays snuggled close to mom.
If you have a little one, you’re probably enjoying getting lots of cold weather snuggles!
When Ibu and Khaleesi were in the habitat, Khaleesi touched snow, but quickly pulled her hand away from the cold. Both Khaleesi and Ibu enjoyed eating the snow! The keeper staff gave the orangutans snow to taste behind the scenes, but they tasted it again while on exhibit.
