When the road was upgraded in 2024, the gap in the forest canopy widened, eliminating natural crossings for tree‑dwelling #wildlife.
“Development was necessary for people,” Siregar said. “But without intervention, it would have left #orangutans trapped on either side.”
TaHuKah, working with the #SumatranOrangutan Society, or SOS, & local & national government agencies, proposed a simple solution: rope bridges suspended between trees, allowing arboreal animals to cross above traffic.
The fleeting scene, captured by a motion‑sensitive camera, showed a young #SumatranOrangutan pause at the forest’s edge, grip a rope with deliberate care & step out into open air. Halfway across, it stopped, casting a glance down at the road below. Moments later, it crossed.
Conservationists said that it marks the first documented case of a #SumatraOrangutan using an artificial canopy bridge to cross a public road that had divided its #habitat.

Primates Figurines Playset (Toymany)
In 2024, Toymany teased the toy animal community with a potential set of primates. It quickly became one of the most anticipated sets of the year. Every time another set was announced, invariably the first couple responses would something along the lines of, ‘what about the primates’ or ‘still waiting for the monkeys set’. Well, wait no more my friends! In late August of 2025, Toymany finally […]

Primate Figurine Playset (Toymany)
Two comments before I start this review…
First of all, many thanks to @Kenc and our friends at Toymany for providing this set as a review sample! It is very much appreciated and I am honored to be a representative for them.
Secondly, this is a repost of a post that was lost when our Blog briefly went down at the end of September. I didn’t have this particular review saved, so the content […]

In a remarkable first, an orangutan was observed treating his own wound with a medicinal plant! 🦧🌿 After injuring his face, the ape was seen chewing a pain-relieving plant and applying a paste made from the leaves to his injury. 🩹 Incredible insight into animal self-medication!
