  2. Thank you, Elaine. I don't think anything will beat the orangutan "show" I saw 15-20 years ago at the Miami Zoo, a completely unplanned one. After having been to many exhibits and seen many animals, we came to where the orangutans were enclosed. There, perched high up on a tree limb, was one big old orangutan, while some distance below him on another limb was another orangutan. The first orangutan began to pee, and as he did so, the second orangutan saw it and positioned himself underneath to catch the stream in his mouth. Deftly done, it was the highlight of our visit.
