Orangutan At Dutch Zoo Prefers Tattooed Blondes

Sibu the Orangutan has annoyed his Dutch keepers by refusing to mate with females and showing sexual interest only in tattooed human blondes.

The 'Apenheul Primate Park' hoped Sibu would become its breeding male when he arrived two years ago.

But what they've found is orangutans aren't his type.

"He chases them, or ignores them, but he doesn't do what he should do," says a spokeswoman for the park.

Instead, Sibu goes after his female keepers, especially blondes. And not just that, Sibu has a fetish for tattoos -- which goes back to a heavily tattooed keeper who reared him.

"Orangutans have special interests in special subjects. Sibu happens to like tattoos," she said.

But the park hasn't given up on him. Apparently he showed interest in a female Orangutan while living in England, so keepers hope he will find love when he is reunited with her in a new enclosure very soon.
