Orangutan aroused by blonde and tattooed women

Monkeyday News says: "Sibu the orangutan won't mate with the other orangutans, but get excited by blonde women, especially those with tattoos. Apparently, one of his early handlers was a tattooed blond female."

Sibu fancies his female keepers, especially blondes. That, the spokeswoman said, was common for orang-utans but Sibu has a fetish for tattoos, harking back to a heavily tattooed keeper who reared him.

This sounds like an opportunity for Xeni to do an on-site investigation.

Couldn't be that the blond's are on the same mental-level as the Orangutan.

Ouch... sorry Sibu. I couldn't pass that one up. We all know your not as dumb as those airheads.

My problem with this isn't that an orangutan has the hots for human women... it's that his tastes are so banal. Honestly, Sibu... tattooed blondes? That's the most outré fetish you could come up with? Don't they have the internet at your zoo?

I guess having an opposable thumb and a rudimentary grasp of tool use doesn't guarantee you'll be able to run your freak flag more than halfway up the mast.

That's odd. My early handler had short, black hair, and always wore pants, but I'm aroused by strawberry blondes in mini skirts.
