Orangutany chłodzą się w wodzie

Water load of fun by wetting the baby's head.... Orangutans ape-reciate some water as they look to get a good cooling off in excessive heat. These young Borneo orangutans are seen playfully splashing and washing in a small body of water during a hot day in Ragunan Zoo, Jakarta, Indonesia. Irawan Subingar, 61, said, “Bornean Orangutans are common in their natural environment but are in need of conservation. I had been observing their behaviour here from a distance for hours.” “In the photo, a baby Orangutan can be seen wetting its head with water. This happens during hot weather and although orangutans are not afraid of water, not all of them are good swimmers, so they are cautious and don't know how to use the water to cool off.” Please byline: Irawan Subingar/Solent News © Irawan Subingar/Solent News & Photo Agency UK +44 (0) 2380 458800 *** Local Caption *** When and where were these shots taken?

The orangutan's facial expression was recorded on camera. The bee didn't sting the orangutan, nor did the orangutan kill the bee, both were fine. For the photo of the baby orangutan wetting its head with water, it just so happened that the weather was hot at that time, orangutans are not afraid of water, but like most humans, not all of them are good at swimming, but they know how to use water.
