Orangutan family becomes friends with their otter neighbours

Orangutan family becomes friends with their otter neighboursAs we are all concerned about COVID-19 and staying at home, it is nice to read about news that can make us happy.

The Pairi Daiza zoo in Belgium, Europe has recently shared adorable pictures of a family of orangutans and their otter neighbours becoming friends.

Orangutans are one of the most intelligent animals in the world. They need a lot of entertainment, puzzles and games to stay healthy and active.

How did friendship happen?

The Pairi Daiza zoo housed a family of orangutans near a river that runs by the zoo.
 	As part of the zoo's program to keep them healthy and entertained, the zookeepers also placed a family of otters near them.
 	Turns out, they got along very well and now they play often together.

So, the zookeepers are very happy about this successful experiment that shows how animals can form bonds with each other.
