Rudi lived into his 50s and was the oldest hybrid orangutan in the US. He was conceived before the scientific community determined that Sumatran and Bornean orangutans were separate species. (Now a third species has been determined.) Because he was a hybrid, Rudi never sired offspring. He was much beloved, though, at the Houston Zoo which is where we met. I spent hours in his company. Orangutans are an amazing species, very intelligent and clearly sentient.
