Orangutans are considered to be one of the most intelligent of all primates. And so maybe it’s no surprise, then, that app developers are now creating programs for these animals. It’s not a marketing scheme, but a way to stimulate the apes. As part of Orangutan Outreach, founder Richard Zimmerman has donated iPads to zoos in Milwaukee, Florida, Houston and Atlanta.
The interactive technologies allow the apes to play drum noises or fingerpaint in electronic mediums. Zimmerman says he hopes the animals will also be able to use Skype Face Time to communicate remotely with other orangutans at zoos in other cities. For more details, visit Apps for Apes, where you can also donate money.
