In the Moscow Zoo, Russia, a newborn baby orangutan decided to muster up the courage to try it alone after seeing his parents skillfully climbing and walking on the rope in the enclosure. Although the newborn baby orangutan seemed a little nervous at first, he soon found the feeling and adapted to walking on the rope.
When zoo keepers informed nearby visitors of the special occasion, crowds quickly gathered. Keen amateur photographer Sergei Gladyshev managed to capture the entire event on camera.
He said: "Chimpanzees are my favorite animals. The orangutans in the Moscow Zoo always put on a good show from time to time, and this time is no exception. You can see that this little guy has no stage fright at all. It makes me even more excited. What is surprising is that this little orangutan moves with confidence. It looks like it has walked on the rope hundreds of times. The keeper told everyone that this is the first time it has tried to walk on the rope. I am very happy that I can use the camera to capture the process. Write it all down.”
