zoo keeper at Indonesia’s Surabaya zoo has been arrested and charged with sexual assault on a number of animals, including impregnating a female orangutan, reports the Kalimantan Press. The 38-year-old zoo keeper was filmed in full action by a series of hidden cameras put in place by the zoo’s security officials after doubts emerged about the man’s devious actions towards the zoo animals.
“Some animals seemed sexually aroused when it was time to feed them” explains Akhiroel Yahya, employee who has worked in the zoo for 14 years.
“But what made us most suspicious was when we discovered Marylin, our oldest orangutan, was pregnant. She has never been in contact with any other orangutans because of her aggressive nature, so it didn’t make any sense” he acknowledges, visibly troubled by the news. The zoo officials admit it took them sometime before being able to explain what had actually happened.
