Lou’s Enrichment Program in Samboja

April 10th 2014

Today was bamboo enrichment day, small bamboo sticks filled with cooked oatmeal with sunflower seeds and a dash of honey.

Some we froze and others we threw over as a late afternoon treat.

Many visitors here today so a nice way for them to end the day watching Orangutans demonstrate tool use!
