Orangutan Bonnie is one of our stars at husbandry training! Through positive reinforcement training, this 42-year-old voluntarily participates in her own healthcare. Every month, keepers conduct a health check on the Zoo’s orangutans, collecting their weight and vitals to ensure they are healthy and noting any changes. Here, Bonnie is allowing keepers to take her temperature with an ear thermometer, measure her heart rate and oxygen level in her blood with a finger probe, and listen to her lungs

Audubon Zoo is happy to announce that its Sumatran orangutan Menari is expecting twins, the result of successful breeding with Jambi, the Zoo’s male orangutan. These will be Menari’s first offspring, and they are expected to arrive in December or January. Menari is featured in the first ZooBorns books published way back in 2010!

❤️🦧 At 45 years old, Bonnie is one of the silliest orangutans you’ll ever meet! Even though her last offspring was born more than three decades ago—our very own Kiko—her maternal instinct remains strong. She is a wonderful “auntie” and playmate for Redd, and she unabashedly dotes on him. Often, she will make a squeaking vocalization to grab his attention and signify her desire to play. . . . Bonnie knows how to charm the primate team, too. She will make funny vocalizations, break out some dance
