OTTERS AND ORANGUTAN TRY TO SOLVE FOOD PUZZLE TOGETHER

 
HagenBeck Zoo keepers set the apes the food puzzle task as an 'enrichment challenge'
The animals made tools out of twigs to get their dinner from a padlocked box
 
Otters from a neighbouring lake in the compound marvelled at the activity
 
Teased with a box of food that was padlocked shut, the furry animals decided to fashion tools out of twigs in a bid to break into the banquet.
 
But this time, what started as a whimsical activity became the must-see event of the day for a gaggle of otters.
 
Flocking over to the Orangutan House from their own private lake in HagenBeck Zoo, Hamburg, they are pictured staring intently at their neighbours' relentless attempts to get dinner.
 
Unfortunately for the orangutans, the visitors were not much of a helping hand.
