An orangutan from Japan is on its way to becoming a Web sensation after a video of the primate washing itself just like a human emerged online.
During the two minute clipwhich was uploaded a week ago, the clever orangutan, at Tokyo’s Tama Zoo, dips a towel into water in order to freshen up in the 30°C heat.
