At 15 years old, Hesty is known for her iconic bangs and big personality.
One of Hesty’s most charming quirks is that she enjoys walking around on two feet way more than the rest of our orangutans.
Whether she’s showing off her stylish fringe, initiating play with the other orangutans, or strutting around like she owns the place (which, let’s be honest…she kinda does), Hesty reminds us every day just how intelligent and expressive orangutans truly are.
Stay tuned all week as we highlight the amazing individuals during Orangutan Caring Week that call Primate Panorama home!
