This video was filmed in the afternoon of October 2023 at the Ichikawa Zoological and Botanical Garden, aka Ichikawa City Zoo. Mainly, Iban, the male Sumatran orangutan, appears in this video. However, I was able to film a bit of footage of Lily appearing at the threshold behind the mesh. Lily was pulling her arm hair and eating it. Iban is eating snacks indoors at the threshold. After he finished eating, he showed up outside. He pees. He looks around, observing his surroundings, or he might have been watching his keeper. He then climbs up the climbing structure and watches people. He eventually returns indoors. At the end of the video, there are short clips of stray cats I encountered on the way to the nearest station after leaving the zoo.
