The researchers worked in the Indonesian rainforest to examine sleep patterns of wild adult orangutans, which have never been studied specifically for how they solve the challenges of sleep.

Much like us, wild orangutans sleep in beds, known as “nests”, which provide a safe place for resting. Every night, an adult orangutan will settle in a spot high up in the rainforest canopy.

The project is a multi-million-dollar investment that is said to set the zoo up for success for the next several decades.
