The zoo folks weren’t sure what would happen to the kiddies, because orangutans children stay with their mommy for up to eight years. According to the docent, the three smaller were all female siblings. At one point, the small one ran to the largest one, the one I figured was mommy orangutan, and received a kiss on the lips from her parent. We saw that there were four orangutans, one of which was quite small. And we heard the best zoo story I believe I have ever heard before from a docent who worked in the primate area.

Still, I love me a zoo, which is why I continue to buy a membership in both the Denver and the Phoenix Zoos. But the truth is, my grands are all getting to the age that they aren’t quite as interested in the zoo. It’s probably been three years since I’ve visited the Denver Zoo.
