Orangutans and Siamangs: A Swingin' Good Time March 29, 2010

Now, the two families of apes, indigenous to the same Asian rain forest ecosystem, share a habitat at the zoo. Their exhibit provides a lush, naturalistic environment where arboreal orangutans and siamangs can climb, swing, and live in the same terrain as they would in the wild.
