Meet Michael, he has been at the Phoenix Zoo since October of 2000.
His favorite behavioral enrichment (BE) items are blankets/sheets, browse, palm fronds and anything he can eat. He enjoys scribbling with chalk and can often times be seen with it on his face. He likes puzzle feeders and using tools to get the food out of them. Michael enjoys spending his days laying on his back in exhibit and holding his toes while watching other orangutans and the public.
