Puppe is a Sumatran Orangutan who has lived at the zoo since it opened in 1974. He exact birthdate is unknown so they celebrate her arrival in Toronto. Puppe is at least 52 years old and she is a grand lady.

Puppe is also very smart and has produced some very clever children. I have watched her over the years and she knows how to do things and how to live comfortably. Sadly the option of living in the wild is not there for many orangutans. Puppe in much safer living with us where she is fed and protected. Until things change and habitats are restored this is the best life an orangutan can have.
I must head out to the zoo and wish Puppe a happy birthday.
