Oldest Orangutan in the World Dies at Oregon Zoo

 

 

 

The world’s oldest orangutan has died at the Oregon Zoo. The word orangutan means “man of the forest” but 61 year old Inji was a lady. Inji was brought to the zoo in the early 1960’s by a family that could no longer care for her. Orangutans typically only live into their 40’s in the wild. Inji beat the odds and leaves behind fond memories for generations of Oregonians.
