FEATURE - Orang Utans freunden sich mit Ottern an
An unlikely friendship has formed at the Pairi Daiza Zoo in Brugelette between a family of Orangutans and visiting otters.
The orangutans and otters first met when the staff at in Brugelette ran the otters’ river through the orangutans’ enclosure. Ever since then, a wholesome and dare we say magical bond formed between the two species.
The otter-orangutan enclosure in Pairi Daiza houses an orangutan family of three: 24-year-old ‘daddy’ Ujian, 15-year-old ‘mummy’ Sari, and Berani, their four-year-old son, who arrived at the zoo back in 2017.
Mathieu Goedefroy, spokesperson for the zoo, explains:
“The presence of a family of Asian small-clawed otters in their territories is not a coincidence - two factors are very important for the wellbeing of an animal in captivity: the size of his enclosure, but also the quality of his enclosure.
“This means that an animal – and this is even more the case of orangutans, with whom humans share 97% of their DNA – must be entertained, occupied, challenged and kept busy mentally, emotionally and physically at all times.
“For this, we have a very strong ‘enrichment’ program for our orangutans, where our keepers entertain them all day long with mind games, riddles, puzzles, and other stuff to train their intelligence.
One of the ‘enrichments’ is to have different animal species together, so they can interact - that’s why we chose to let an otter family live in the river that runs through the orangutan territory.
“The otters really enjoy getting out of the water on the orangutan island to go and play with their big, furry friends.
“Especially baby Berani and daddy Ujian have developed a very special band with their neighbours; It makes life more fun and interesting for both animal species, which makes it a very successful experiment.”
Additional Info: It is important to mention that orangutans are extremely threatened in the wild. They have been suffering because of palm oil exploitation of

sea lion pup
This sea lion pup adopted a cunning disguise by rolling in the sand, which stuck to its wet body. Photographer Francisco Laso, 26, snapped the creature as it blended against a rock before fleeing back into the sea to wash off.

Mother polar bear (Ursus maritimus) with two coy (cubs-of-year) on multi-year ice floes in the Barents Sea off the eastern side of Heleysundet in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. An adult male weighs around 400?680 kg (880?1,500 lb) while an adult female is about half that size. The IUCN now lists global warming as the most significant threat to the polar bear, primarily because the melting of its sea ice habitat reduces its ability to find sufficient food. The IUCN states, If climatic trends continue polar bears may become extirpated from most of their range within 100 years. On May 14, 2008, the United States Department of the Interior listed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.
