Like most of us on Friday afternoon, the orangutans at Great Ape Trust enjoyed a break from the sweltering temperatures of the past week.
Here Azy, the 32-year-old male, relaxes in his outdoor enclosure with a cool snack of celery. Knobi and Rocky joined Azy outside this afternoon.
HollyD says:
Azy has got to be one of the most handsome orangutans ever!!
Al Setka says:
That he is - and very fit. Rhonda Pietsch and the staff at Great Ape Trust are the very best at caring for the orangutans.
