   Single male (red hair, long arms, interests include hanging in trees and
grooming) seeks female for long-distance relationship and possibility of
meeting up in future to help save species.

Zookeepers in the Netherlands are planning to hook up Dutch and Indonesian
orangutans over the Internet and believe the link could at some stage be
used as an online dating service where apes could get to know one another
and keepers could work out whether they would be compatible mates.

First things first: A romantic dinner for two.

"We are going to set up an Internet connection between Indonesia and
Apeldoorn so that the apes can see each other and, by means of pressing a
button, be able to give one another food, for example," said Anouk Ballot, a
spokeswoman for the Apenheul ape park in the central Dutch city of
Apeldoorn.
