Orangutan Benji’s Unique Persona He’s Literally A “Basket Case“

Today another Orangutan video from Dudley Zoo. This is the interesting male Orangutan with huge flanges called Benji. He has his own little quirks. Discover the fascinating story of Benji, the remarkable Orangutan. A lone male who prefers his solitude. The zoo staff made efforts to pair him with Jazz, but unfortunately, Benji showed no interest.
