Now, you can get up close and personal with the original orange creatures right in our own backyard, thanks to the Orang-Hutan: “People of the Forest” exhibit at The Phoenix Zoo. As part of the World Class Zoo for a World Class City capital campaign, the park’s orangutan enclosure has received a major upgrade.

The new digs will also allow visitors a better view of Duchess, the grand dame of the Phoenix Zoo’s orangutans, and her cohort.
