Orangutan Fu Manchu Offers Profitable Biz Idea
At the Omaha Zoo in the 1960’s an adult male orangutan named Fu Manchu caused quite a stir.
Fu was a loveable guy, gentle and sweet. Even though orangutans are incredibly strong, Fu never tried to hurt the zookeepers. As a youngster, Fu would climb inside the keeper’s parkas as they were wearing them, slide his arms into the sleeves and play with the keepers. Once when a curator slipped on a wet floor inside the exhibit, Fu saved him from harm and alerted the other keepers with his call.
