Orang-utan Behind the Scenes
Go behind the scenes with Melbourne Zoo’s orang-utans and discover how to shop like an orang-utan!
Orang-utans are switched-on shoppers. The South-East Asian jungle is a hard grocery store to negotiate; the shelves are often bare, and you need to know where to look to find decent produce.
Things are not all that different for their human cousins.
Visit our orang-utans and learn the secrets of good shopping straight from the masters. Learn how you can help fight wildlife extinction by the choices you make in your shopping trolley.
After preparing a tasty meal for the Orang-utans, you will get the chance to join them on the dizzying heights of the Sanctuary roof, where you will help to enrich their day.
