Ape baby gets the sack

Peering out from a hessian sack, at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park in Devon, is Tatau the Bornean orang utan.

The three-year old’s couture outfit is courtesy of Coffeeman Devon Limited of Newton Abbot, who donated hessian sacks to the Zoo.

Keepers at Paignton Zoo (a registered charity) give orang utans – and many other species – different things to play with in order to stimulate them mentally and physically.

The toddler is developing into a strong and determined character with an inquisitive nature, according to her keepers. For more information go to: www.coffeemandevon.co.uk .
