A family of orangutans have formed a 'very special bond' with the otters who share their enclosure at a Belgian zoo. Extraordinary photographs show the orangutan family - Ujian, 24, Sari, 15 and their son Bernai, three - greeting their unusual friends as they run around the enclosure. Another image shows the youngest orangutan, Berani, appearing to play a game of hide and seek with an otter who is resting beneath a wooden platform. The zoo claims allowing two animal species to live together and interact is 'enrichment' for both parties. 'It makes life more fun and interesting for both animal species, which makes it a very successful experiment.'
