    7. SOUNDBITE (Indonesian) Wahyudi Bambang, Head of public relations at Schmutzer Primate Centre:
    This primate centre is designed to replicate the natural habitat of the primates as closely as possible. For example, we have planted large trees within the animal enclosures. This is good for the animals such as orangutans, that build nests in these trees. It is part of the efforts of the Ragunan Zoo and Schmutzer Primate Centre to bring out the natural instincts of our animals.

    15. SOUNDBITE (Indonesian) Made Sukadana, Orangutan keeper :
    Orangutans have a natural instinct to build nests. They learn about making nests gradually in these trees. They would collect twigs, stack them up and try sitting on them. If they find the nest comfortable, they will go on to make bigger ones.

    Because these gorillas were born in the UK with its four seasons, they had taken a longer time to adapt to this climate when they first arrived. They often looked for cool spots and returned there after eating. But after a few years, they can now enjoy their habitat and remain active even when it's hot.

    LEAD IN
    The Schmutzer Primate Centre has been at forefront of primate research in the Indonesian capital Jakarta for the past decade.
    The centre's approach to providing a natural environment for its inhabitants is allowing scientists to monitor exciting behavioural characteristics in these most human-like of animals.
    STORYLINE
    On the edge of the Indonesian capital, primates have a special place they can call home.
    One of the star attractions at the Schmutzer Primate Centre is the African gorilla.
    Three gorillas were donated to the centre in 2002 by British zoo owner John Aspinall.
    The three male gorillas reside in the centre. Two of them are 17 years old and the other one is 15 years old.
    There are currently no females at the centre.
    The Schmutzer Primate Centre was built on a 13-hectare artificial forest adjacent to the popular Ragunan zoo.
    The construction of the centre began in 1998 and it was finally open for the general public in 2002.
    They occupy Schmutzer's largest enclosure.

    Schmutzer Primate Center is an artificial habitat of primates like gorilla, chimpanzee, orang utan and other kinds of primate. Schmutzer Primate Center is located at Ragunan Zoological Park area. Visitors of Schmutzer Primate Center can observe the behavior and activities of gorilla from a sky cross that was built over the area where gorillas inhabited.

    The sky cross for observation that's covered by canopy roof is the main lane that visitors would find once they enter the building. The design of Schmutzer Primate Center was set close to the natural primate habitat with attractive layout of each room. The layout of Schmutzer accommodates the pleasure of primates as inhabitant and visitors who want to see the natural life of primates as in the wild nature.

    STORYLINE
    A woman in the United States is bringing the soothing sounds of the harp to the gorillas, orangutans and monkeys at a zoo in Minnesota.
    Once a month, Terri Tacheny plays her harp for the apes at Como Zoo.
    She has been doing it for nearly a decade.
    Tacheny long enjoyed visiting the St. Paul Zoo with her young daughters - except for the Primate House, where she thought the animals seemed a little lethargic.
    Her solution: A little harp music.
    I don't speak gorilla but there's a gorilla purr that occurs when I begin to play and that's their happy sound, Tacheny said. It's a sound that means 'I'm very happy, I'm pleased.'
    A therapeutic harpist, Tacheny plays for hospital patients to help them deal with pain and anxiety. She thought if the music helped calm humans, it would work for the primates too.
    Visitors to the zoo also say they appreciate the music while they watch the animals.

  • Ragunan Zoo

    1:15

    Ragunan Zoo is a 140-hectare (350-acre) zoo located in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, Indonesia. It is home to over 270 species of animals, 171 species of flora, and employs over 450 people. Many of the animals are endangered and threatened from all parts of Indonesia and the rest of the world. There are a total of 3,122 animal specimens including birds. Laid out in a lush tropical setting, such indigenous animals as the komodo dragon, orangutan, tapir, anoa, sumatran tiger, banteng wild ox and various brightly colored birds are given ample room. The zoo is located in South Jakarta and is easily accessible through the Jakarta Outer Ring Road and TransJakarta Corridor 6 bus (grey color).

    Ragunan Zoo has more than 150 year of age as the third oldest zoo in the world and set as second largest zoo in the world with the most diverse animals and plants population.

    Beginning in February 2014, the zoo will be closed every Monday for maintenance and to provide a quiet day for the animals. If Monday is a holiday, the zoo will be open but will be closed on another day in lieu of the holiday.

    The main attractions of the zoo are its animal exhibits. These may be grouped as follows.

    Reptiles
    Two terrariums host venomous and non-venomous snakes, such as Asian reticulated phytons, albino pythons, and king cobras, as well as other reptiles including turtles. Large reptiles such as Komodo dragons are located in a separate compound while saltwater crocodiles and gavials are located in a simulated river valley wetland area.

    Mammals
    Primate cages house several kinds of langurs, gibbons, and macaques, while gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans are located in the Schmutzer Primate Centre.

    Small mammal compounds display raccoon, binturong, beaver, Asian palm civet, Java mouse-deer, Javan porcupine, and bats. Other mammals on display such as babirusa, tapir, llama, antelope, camel, Arabian oryx. Ragunan also hosts carnivore large cats such as tigers, leopards, and lions.

    Gorillas share 98% of our DNA. They are practically family... We visited the mountain gorillas of the Virunga Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, and what a sight it was. To be only a few feet away from them in their natural habitat, each group we saw, 13 and Hirwa, went on their business as usual. Then, Mommy and Daddy in Hirwa group decided to make a baby in front of us. Priceless!!! The Silverbacks (group leaders), as the mature males are called, can reach 400+ pounds and can live to be 50 years old. Mountain gorillas subside mostly on stems, leaves and bamboo. Fortunately, poaching in Rwanda has been stopped a few years ago. Size of family groups can range from 5-46. Gorillas are known among the great apes for their fast life history patterns. In zoos it is common for female gorillas to give birth before reaching 10 years. Our knowledge of the physical maturation of wild gorillas is mainly based on studies of mountain gorillas carried out at the Karisoke research station; gorillas in that population show very similar life history milestones compared to captive western gorillas, as well as gorilla Like to sharing romance with her loved once and they mating Gorillas and Gorilla Mating and Gorilla Mating Approach is very better to other animal I hope to you watch Gigantic gorilla Mating Videos

    Apes (Hominoidea) are a branch of Old World tailless anthropoid catarrhine primates native to Africa and Southeast Asia and distinguished by a wide degree of freedom at the shoulder joint indicating the influence of brachiation. There are two main branches: the gibbons, or lesser apes; and the hominids or great apes.
    Lesser apes (Hylobatidae) include four genera and sixteen species of gibbon, including the lar gibbon, and the siamang, all native to Asia. They are highly arboreal and bipedal on the ground. They have lighter bodies and smaller social groups than great apes.
    The Hominidae include orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and humans.[1][2] Alternatively, the family are collectively described as the great apes.[3][4][5][6] There are two extant species in the orangutan genus (Pongo), two species in the gorilla genus, and a single extant species Homo sapiens in the human genus (Homo). Chimpanzees and bonobos are closely related to each other and they represent the two species in the genus Pan.
    Members of the superfamily are called hominoids (not to be confused with the family of hominids - great apes, the subfamily of hominines, the tribe of hominins aka the human clade, or the subtribe of hominans).
    Some or all hominoids are also called apes. However, the term ape is used in several different senses. It has been used as a synonym for monkey or for any tailless primate with a humanlike appearance.[7] Thus the Barbary macaque, a kind of monkey, is popularly called the Barbary ape to indicate its lack of a tail. Biologists have used the term ape to mean a member of the superfamily Hominoidea other than humans,[3] or more recently to mean all members of the superfamily Hominoidea, so that ape becomes another word for hominoid.[6][8] See also Primate: Historical and modern terminology.
    Except for gorillas and humans, hominoids are agile climbers of trees. Their diet is best described as frugivorous and folivorous, consisting mainly of fruit, nuts, seeds, including grass seeds, and in some cases other animals (consumed for social or dietary purposes), either hunted or scavenged (or farmed solely in the case of humans), along with anything else available and easily digested. Meat is not consumed by every species.[citation needed]
    Most non-human hominoids are rare or endangered. The chief threat to most of the endangered species is loss of tropical rainforest habitat, though some populations are further imperiled by hunting for bushmeat.

  • Orangutan monkeys around and plays the fool

    1:01

    Orangutan monkeys from South-east Asia.

    The orangutans are the two exclusively Asian species of extant great apes. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, orangutans are currently found in only the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were considered to be one species. However, since 1996, they have been divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan (P. pygmaeus) and the Sumatran orangutan (P. abelii). In addition, the Bornean species is divided into three subspecies. Based on genome sequencing, the two extant orangutan species evidently diverged around 400,000 years ago. The orangutans are also the only surviving species of the subfamily Ponginae, which also included several other species, such as the three extinct species of the genus Gigantopithecus, including the largest known primate Gigantopithecus blacki. The ancestors of the Ponginae subfamily split from the main ape line in Africa 16 to 19 million years ago (mya) and spread into Asia.

    Orangutans are the most arboreal of the great apes and spend most of their time in trees. Their hair is typically reddish-brown, instead of the brown or black hair typical of chimpanzees and gorillas. Males and females differ in size and appearance. Dominant adult males have distinctive cheek pads and produce long calls that attract females and intimidate rivals. Younger males do not have these characteristics and resemble adult females. Orangutans are the most solitary of the great apes, with social bonds occurring primarily between mothers and their dependent offspring, who stay together for the first two years. Fruit is the most important component of an orangutan's diet; however, the apes will also eat vegetation, bark, honey, insects and even bird eggs. They can live over 30 years in both the wild and captivity.

    Orangutans are among the most intelligent primates; they use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage. The apes have been extensively studied for their learning abilities. There may even be distinctive cultures within populations. Field studies of the apes were pioneered by primatologist Birutė Galdikas. Both orangutan species are considered to be Endangered, with the Sumatran orangutan being Critically Endangered. Human activities have caused severe declines in the populations and ranges of both species. Threats to wild orangutan populations include poaching, habitat destruction, and the illegal pet trade. Several conservation and rehabilitation organisations are dedicated to the survival of orangutans in the wild.

    Cute Monkey and its behaviour, Very Clear and HD Detail Video. Bonnet macaque.
    Monkeys are haplorhine (dry-nosed) primates, a group generally possessing tails and consisting of about 260 known living species. There are two distinct lineages of monkeys: New World Monkeys and catarrhines. Apes emerged within the catarrhines with the Old World monkeys as a sister group, so cladistically they are monkeys as well. However, traditionally apes are not considered monkeys, rendering this grouping paraphyletic. The equivalent monophyletic clade are the simians. Many monkey species are tree-dwelling (arboreal), although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons. Most species are also active during the day (diurnal). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent, particularly Old World monkeys.

    Lemurs, lorises, and galagos are not monkeys; instead they are strepsirrhine (wet-nosed) primates. Like monkeys, tarsiers are haplorhine primates; however, they are also not monkeys. There are two major types of monkey: New World monkeys (platyrrhines) from South and Central America and Old World monkeys (catarrhines of the superfamily Cercopithecoidea) from Africa and Asia. Hominoid apes (gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans), which all lack tails, are also catarrhines but are not considered monkeys.[3] (Tailless monkeys may be called apes, incorrectly according to modern usage; thus the tailless Barbary macaque is sometimes called the Barbary ape.) Simians (monkeys) and tarsiers emerged within haplorrhines some 60 million years ago. New World monkeys and catarrhine monkeys emerged within the simians some 35 millions years ago. Old World monkeys and Hominoidea emerged within the catarrhine monkeys some 25 millions years ago. Extinct basal simians such as Aegyptopithecus or Parapithecus [35-32 million years ago] are also considered monkeys by primatologists.
    According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word monkey may originate in a German version of the Reynard the Fox fable, published circa 1580. In this version of the fable, a character named Moneke is the son of Martin the Ape.[4] In English, no very clear distinction was originally made between ape and monkey; thus the 1910 Encyclopædia Britannica entry for ape notes that it is either a synonym for monkey or is used to mean a tailless humanlike primate.[5] Colloquially, the terms monkey and ape are widely used interchangeably.[6] Also, a few monkey species have the word ape in their common name, such as the Barbary ape.

    Later in the first half of the 20th century, the idea developed that there were trends in primate evolution and that the living members of the order could be arranged in a series, leading through monkeys and apes to humans.[7] Monkeys thus constituted a grade on the path to humans and were distinguished from apes.

    Scientific classifications are now more often based on monophyletic groups, that is groups consisting of all the descendants of a common ancestor. The New World monkeys and the Old World monkeys are each monophyletic groups, but their combination is not, since it excludes hominoids (apes and humans). Thus the term monkey no longer refers to a recognized scientific taxon. The smallest accepted taxon which contains all the monkeys is the infraorder Simiiformes, or simians. However this also contains the hominoids (apes and humans), so that monkeys are, in terms of currently recognized taxa, non-hominoid simians. Colloquially and pop-culturally, the term is ambiguous and sometimes monkey includes non-human hominoids.[8] In addition, frequent arguments are made for a monophyletic usage of the word monkey from the perspective that usage should reflect cladistics.
    A group of monkeys may be commonly referred to as a tribe or a troop.
    The bonnet macaque, like other macaques, shares a linear dominance hierarchy; the alpha male is the most dominant male of the troop, followed by a beta male and a gamma male, and so on according to their dominance. Similarly, females also follow this linear herarchy. The male and female hierarchies are different and of a nonoverlapping or nonmixing types. Males are usually dominant over females.[10]

    The females' dominance hierarchy is stable (rarely changes), whilst the males' dominance hierarchy is very dynamic. In the male hierarchy, males close in rank often fight to rise in rank. A male has the best chance of obtaining high rank in his prime age, resulting in the greatest benefits to reproduction. High-ranking individuals have first access to breeding females. Females are receptive during only a few months in a year, resulting in competition between males. In this situation, the ranks established by aggressive encounters come into play.

  • Ganteng progress - May 2015

    1:26

    During May, our focus has been on training and development with Ganteng into the forest. STAGE 2! Its very exciting to see Ganteng explore the rainforest in Jantho and learn what the rainforest home has to offer him. What is even more special is to see him have the special relationship with the staff - trusting them to take him into some places which he may be a little nervous to explore by himself. The confidence he is gaining each day, is one positive step forward to his wild existence.
    Training Ganteng has had its challenges and I am excited to show you how we have been developing the program each month. Watch as he interacts with other orangutans, explores the forest fruits and flowers and gains his strength to move amongst the trees.
    Enjoy!

  • Juvenile Orangutan Nest-Making Fail

    13

    A few weeks ago we found Beth and her juvenile son Benny. Beth is one of our longest followed wild orangutans, and Benny is the only male juvenile in Cabang Panti, West Kalimantan. Young orangutans learn about nest building from their mothers, and then it's a case of trial and error until they reach perfection. Benny is still in the learning phase, we guess.....
