My new best friend!

Meet Achmat, my new best friend.  Yesterday we went to go visit the orangutans at Camp Leakey and I had the privilege of meeting quite a few orangutans.  After we watched the rangers feed the wild orangutans, Achmat showed up late and walked right up to me.  I sat next to Achmat for awhile and became friends.

Achmat is an older female orangutan and likes bananas.  She spent a few minutes with me munching on some fruit as I talked to her.  She wasn't much of a conversationalist but seemed to not mind my presence.
