This Sanctuary Captures An Incredible Moment 34-Year-Old Orangutan Learns To Wash Her Hands
While most of us already know it, some things are worth mentioning over and over again—washing your hands can help prevent getting and passing the coronavirus. There’s no need to get a hand sanitizer unless you are unable to wash your hands with soap. All you have to do is thoroughly scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds and you’ll be good to go. In case you need a better demonstration of how it’s done, Center For Great Apes has a great video to inspire you to take care of your personal hygiene.

Sandra, the orangutan with excellent personal hygiene, was born at Rostock Zoologischer Garten in Germany. She spent most of her time in Buenos Aires, where she was forced to live alone, with no other orangutans keeping her company. Luckily, Sandra was granted legal personhood by a judge in Argentina, thus entitling her to better living conditions. In November 2019, she arrived at the Center for Great Apes, where she now lives with 22 other orangutans. In January, Sandra celebrated her 34th birthday and had a lovely birthday party thrown by her new caretakers.

Perhaps Sandra can teach some of the d!ckheads what social distancing means, starting with the orange clown and his entourage of jesters and jokers.

In the wild, orangs are solitary creatures so social distancing is the norm for them.
