The "Very Special Bond" Between Orangutans And Otters

It feels amazing when you see different species of animals bond with one another. There have been different instances where unlikely friendships have been reported, like this family of orangutans has befriended some otters at the Belgian zoo and it has captured the attention and heart of the internet.



According to him, the zoo invests a lot in "enrichment" of their animal enclosures. This enrichment consists of increasing the size of the enclosures and giving the animals a better quality of life. The way the staff does this beside hiding food, organizing mind games, making puzzles, and adding swings or new logs, is making the species interact with one another in the same enclosure. Sometimes it's enough just to make them see each other.
