Zoo’s Orangutan Enclosure Shut After Storm Damage

Following a severe storm that hit the city yesterday, the zoo’s orangutan enclosure has been closed to the public due to significant damage. Thankfully, all of the orangutans were safely evacuated to temporary housing while the necessary repairs are being made.

The storm caused extensive damage to the enclosure’s roofing and fencing, making it unsafe for visitors to enter. Zoo officials are working around the clock to assess the extent of the damage and come up with a plan to restore the enclosure to its former state.

In the meantime, visitors are encouraged to check the zoo’s website and social media channels for updates on when the orangutan enclosure will reopen to the public. The safety and well-being of the animals is the zoo’s top priority, and they are taking all necessary precautions to ensure that the orangutans are not put at risk.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to address the storm damage. Thank you for your continued support of the zoo and its conservation efforts.
