Tokyo the Orangutan Celebrates Fifth Birthday at Safari Park

Tokyo, a young orangutan at the safari park, is celebrating her fifth birthday. She was born to mother Tana and father Raham, and her name follows the park's tradition of naming offspring with the first letter of the mother's name. Despite her age, Tokyo is still considered a playful juvenile. Orangutans have an extended childhood, staying close to their mothers for several years to learn essential survival skills. A video from the safari shows Tokyo enjoying cool water to refresh herself during the hot summer days. Her birth is regarded as a significant achievement within international breeding programs aimed at conserving this critically endangered species in the wild.
