Hear hear JessM, thanks for posting this. There's a lovely link to a baby orang utan and a tiger cub snuggling together.

Just came across this blog. See the picture of the orang-utan trying to spear fish and an interesting blog about monkeys helping each other to give birth.
I think all the great apes should be given better protection, including protection against medical research exploitation.
