Cheyenne Mountain Zoo will soon say goodbye
to our young male Sumatran orangutan, Godek. He is scheduled to move to Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA, in May or June, where he will be paired with a genetically compatible female when the time is right.
Godek was born at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and just celebrated his eighth birthday on Feb. 19. His parents are 29-year-old female, Sumagu, and 26-year-old male, Baka. In his new home, Godek will share his birthday with two of Woodland Park's existing orangutans - female, Chinta, and her nephew, Heran.
