PHILADELPHIA — Tua, the Philadelphia Zoo’s female Sumatran orangutan, is getting a companion: Sugriwa (Sue-GREE-wuh), a male Sumatran orangutan. Sugi arrived in Philadelphia from the St. Louis Zoo in December. Since then, he has gone through the zoo’s routine quarantine period for new animals, then was slowly introduced to Tua and to the zoo’s male and female gibbons, Mercury and Solstice.
