Monkey Forest & Rudi

Willy visits the Monkey Forest at Trentham in Staffordshire to see the Barbary macaques up close.  These are a group of about 140 monkeys living in total freedom. Check out their website: www.trentham-monkey-forest.com

It is here that Willy first meets Rudi the orangutan. Rudi is sitting surrounded by truffles on a high shelf behind the counter in a little shop.  When he sees Willy, he pushes the teddy bear sitting next to him off the shelf to draw attention.  He starts how he means to go on.
