International Orangutan Day - All About Our Cousins
Did you know… it was traditionally believed, that the Orangutans could talk but chose not to, as a sign of their high intelligence… as they were afraid that they might be enslaved and put to work?
August 19th is International Orangutan day and it’s time for you to meet our cousins.
4ZZZ's Eliot Rifkin chatted about ‘All Things Orangutan’ with Leif Cocks the founder of The Orangutan Project.
For a deep dive...
