Happy 1st Birthday, Siska! Our littlest orangutan celebrated this milestone in style with mom Eirina, half-sister Cerah, and dad Berani. This Critically Endangered Sumatran orangutan family enjoyed a wild rainforest party complete with enrichment crafted by our amazing volunteers and extra special treats from our nutrition team. 🎉 🦧

From tearing down paper chains to cracking open coconuts, our orangutans loved engaging with this enrichment. Not only was it fun and visually stimulating, but it also encouraged natural behaviors that help our orangutans stay mentally and physically active. They also feasted on a variety of novel and tasty produce like dragon fruit, starfruit, jackfruit, coconut, guava, watermelon and lychee.

A huge thank you to our dedicated volunteers, nutritionists and animal care specialists for making Siska's first birthday so special. Please join us in celebrating sweet Siska in the comments below! 🧡
