This 34-Year-Old Orangutan Who Learned To Wash Her Hands Is Setting An Example For All Of Us
While most of us already know it, some things are worth mentioning over and over again — washing your hands can help prevent getting and passing the coronavirus. There’s no need to get a hand sanitizer unless you are unable to wash your hands with soap. All you have to do is thoroughly scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds and you’ll be good to go. In case you need a better demonstration of how it’s done Center For Great Apes has a great video to inspire you to take care of your personal hygiene.

Sandra, the orangutan with excellent personal hygiene, was born Rostock Zoologischer Garten in Germany. She spent most of her time in Buenos Aires where she was forced to live alone, without no other orangutans keeping her company. Luckily Sandra was granted legal personhood by a judge in Argentina thus entitling her to better living conditions. In November 2019, she arrived at the Center for Great Apes, where she now lives with 22 other orangutans. In January, Sandra has celebrated her 34 birthday and had a lovely birthday party thrown by her new caretakers.
