Did you know that orangutans enjoy eating toasted pumpkin seeds? Every #Halloween for #ZooEnrichment, keepers carve pumpkins and then hide goodies—including toasted seeds—inside for the orangutans and gorillas to investigate and enjoy. This food enrichment engages the apes’ sight, smell, and touch senses and encourages them to use their foraging behaviors just as they would in the wild!
