Orangutans

Matt and I took Emmaline to the zoo today because the weather is nice and its far better to go during the week than on the weekend. We all had a lot of fun- Emmaline got to pet the goats and brush their fur. I thought she would be terrified of the goats like she is of dogs but oddly enough she wasn't as nervous about them (occasionally she would beg to be picked up out of a bit of fright but nothing like dogs). Anyway, the cool story is about the Orangutans. Unfortuantely I didn't get any pictures. Sorry. We were walking by the monkey exhibits and saw a few Orangutans swinging along when suddenly this old lady with a cigarette comes up and starts ranting about the Orangutans breaking the glass! We looked across the exhibit to another window and sure enough, the glass had broken into thousands of little pieces. Luckily it was still in the pane and not scattered all over the place. As we were watching, we saw the orangutan that had broken the glass lollup back over and started banging on the glass with a drill bit that had to have been at least a foot long! Thats how he had broken the glass in the first place! We went over to where the broken glass was and saw that the piece of glass right next to it had also been broken recently because it was covered up with a huge piece of metal. Luckily Matt and this smoking woman chased down a park ranger and they very quickly had several people clearing the path and I was hearing 'emergency' all over the radios and from workers nearby. So I keep wondering about this orangutan. Did he have an anger problem and once he finally found a way to get out began trying? Or was he just having fun with the things he could find? Did a worker leave the tool in the exhibit? Was he in trouble for having done so? Did some random, horrible man decide to drop the drill bit into the exhibit and see what would happen? Is someone going to get in trouble? And what are they going to do with the orangutan? Does he get counseling? Or is he going to be shipped to another drill-bit-proof- zoo? All of this has me so interested that I might have to call the zoo later this week to see how everything turned out. I wonder if they would talk to me about it?
