[Taxacom] what an orangutan does on a hot day

[John Grehan]

No idea, but I expect it was learned by observation as that often
happens. I will contact the zoo and see if I can find out more
information on that.

That's a wonderful video.  Do you know if this behavior was taught, 
learned by observation or spontaneous?
