Orangutans are large, and intelligentprimates. At the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., Rob Shumaker runs the Orangutan Language Project. Of course, orangutans aren’t able to speak like humans. They can, however, learn to connect symbolsto objects. In human language, words are also symbols for the real objects they represent. Shumaker believes the language program is mentally stimulating for the orangutans. The program iscompletely voluntary so the animals can choose to participate or not, and it’s part of a zoo exhibit called Think Tank, which helps to educate people about the problems orangutans face in the world.
