Monyo’s Path To Confidence
Monyo seems to know exactly when it is the right time to play alone and when to join his friends. He is quite good at interacting with other orangutans his age and, in particular, likes playing with Dalilah and Hanua, who are also in his group. The three will play together in the puddles that form in their Forest School area after the rain. Another enjoyable activity for this trio is competing at climbing tall trees…
