Orangutans -"Men of the Forests"

At home in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo Urangutans are threatened by extinction, due to deforestation and hunting. But in the Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg/Germany they live in safety and enjoy their life. In Hagenbeck Zoo they have all they need: contact to family and friends, good food and a nice environment. I have observed the Orangutans in Hagenbeck Zoo with my camera, filmed the youngsters playing and got shots of Tuan, the chief of the group´, when he presented his skills as a high-wire acrobat.

Die faszinierende Welt der Tiere

Wildlife videos from all around the world. Holger Schulz is a biologist and a journalist, and he has travelled around the world to observe and watch wildlife and birds. His videos show the behaviour and ecology of many species of animals, filmed in the wilderness and in zoos and animal parks. Enjoy!http://tierfilm.wordpress.com
