Just wanted to share a picture with everyone of my friend, Rango. He is the adult male Bornean orangutan here at Lowry Park Zoo. He just celebrated his 34th birthday on Dec. 4. He is the oldest male Bornean orang in captivity in an AZA facility. He is normally very reserved and keeps to himself on exhibit, but we had a little party for his birthday and he was right down front, eagerly awaiting his gifts! He seemed to know he was the man of the hour. After opening the presents we had wrapped for him, he retired to his usual resting spot to spend a little time admiring the birthday card the kids from the ZooSchool had made for him.
