Say hello to our Bornean Orangutans!
Native to the island of Borneo, these large beautiful apes move slowly through the trees and benefit from excellent camouflage thanks to their orange coloring. Orangutans are larger than most arboreal apes, meaning you won’t see them swinging from branch to branch. Another difference between these and other apes is that they are only semi-social! But hey, who doesn’t need some alone time every now and then?
OhioHealth Tip: Playground injuries are common for children but can be prevented with a few steps. Check to see that the surfaces are not too hot and that any ropes or swinging materials are secure. Playgrounds should be surrounded by softer materials like rubber or mulch so that if a child falls, they will not have as bad an impact as they would on grass or asphalt.
