Orangutans and Bears

After we went to the Desert Dome we saw Hubbard Orangutan Forest. There were so many different orangutans there! There was a gorilla family there as well. We got to see the baby gorilla riding on the momma gorillas back, and when they came out the daddy gorilla got very protactive of them. He had previously been very calm and tolerant of the people looking at him, but once momma and baby came out he started charging the glass at people who were looking in. Becca was not impressed. He was a very big gorilla!

After the Orangutans we saw the bears. There
were polar bears, grizzly bears, brown bears, and sun bears. They all looked like they were about to collapse from the heat. It was about 100 degrees and I can only imagine how hot that seems when you are covered head to foot with fur! Posted by Picasa
