Climbers Helped a Zoo Make Sure Its Orangutan Habitat Is Escape-Proof

The Kansas City Zoo did n’t have the good track record when it get along to composition - in its primates — two Gorilla gorilla got out in 2012 and two chimpanzee ran away in 2014 ( I assume they all were work back ? ) . So when building a new orangutan home ground , the zoological garden brought in some expert to screen the sheer tilt wall for climb - ability .

Rock climbers from local gymnasium were brought in for a daytime of mount ( really bouldering , since they did n’t use roofy ) to attempt to scale the walls .

fortuitously for the zoo , the climber could not easy find any routes up the artificial rock candy face so it ’s safe to don the orangutans wo n’t either . But do n’t put it past the well-informed emulator to figure another way out , say the zoo ’s theatre director Randy Wisthoff . “ Orangutans are masters at get off . ”
