Zookepper gives a peanut to an orangutan

Orangutan Gets a Peanut

Batang has been trained to give milk voluntarily and is rewarded with peanuts for doing so. She can walk away at any point and is never forced to participate. Stromberg is the only keeper who collects milk from Batang, and over time they’ve developed a close relationship. “She’s smart as a whip, and she has a very strong personality,” Stromberg said.
