Sasha makes a new friend at the OKC Zoo. I was lucky to get it on video. It was sweet but kinda sad. He was raised by humans and seemed to be craving contact. I know humans project emotions on to animals but watching him it was really hard not to think of him as sweet or bashful or sad or lonely.
We found out later his name is Elok and they have a story about him here: http://www.okczoo.com/media/recent-press-releases/m.blog/68/young-orangutan-a...
The zoo website says his name is pronounced "El-lick".
