Audubon Zoo's Baby Orangutan Get the OK to Meet the Public This Week
New Orleans, LA - It’s a rare opportunity - something visitors haven’t experienced in about thirteen years - an adorable (and critically endangered) baby orangutan at Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. Baby Menari was born at Audubon Zoo on June 10, 2009. Starting on September 26, guests will be able to see her each day between 1pm and 2:30pm in the World of Primates exhibit (pending extreme weather or other unforeseen factors). With her tufts of red hair and playful curiosity – along with ever-increasing strength and dexterity – Menari enchants every visitor lucky enough to see her. Welcome Menari to Audubon Zoo on Saturday, September 26!
Special shows and chats, temporary tattoos and party hats (while supplies last) and other surprises at Audubon Zoo, 6500 Magazine Street, throughout the day on September 26. *** Visitors bringing a new baby item in original packaging receive a coupon for 50% off the price of admission to Audubon Zoo. Visit Audubon’s website for suggestions – please, no stuffed animals! Children’s Hospital will be on-site to collect items.**** Visit www.AudubonInstitute.org for details, and to download a fun Menari mask to decorate!

The Pacaya Samiria National Reserve is a magical place. The flora, fauna, remoteness and beauty are exquisite. Another interesting aspect is how the indigenous people there live.
