Orangutan walks along tightrope at a terrifyi


Devon: It was really a dropping moment to view an orangutan walking along a tight rope located at a height of 20 feet.
It is the orangutan Mali, who has been living with her toddler in Paignton Zoo Environmental Park in Devon.
Her adventurous rope walking was really a stomach-churning event as she performed it at a height of 20ft.
The baby of the 20-year-old mother was climbing care free around a cargo net and then the mother decided to walk along the tightrope fearlessly.
A spokesman for the zoo said that the female orangutan seemed to balance quite effortlessly, using her long arms as poles just like an acrobat.
Her marvelous performance was quite a bit of amazing skill.
As far as orangutans are concerned, upright walking on thin branches is very important as they have to move to the outer edges of tree crowns where fruits are generally found.
However, walking on four legs is very difficult on a thin branch, especially when it bends and moves beneath.
Anyway, the orangutan succeeded in walking along the tight rope. It was really eye-catching to viewers.
