The answer to this month’s #GuessTheTooth, presented by Deltadental is our wonderful Sumatran orangutan Hesty! 🦧💚 Hesty is one of our Critically Endangered orangutans in Primate Panorama, and she’s known for her playful spirit and curiosity.

Meet Betty, the “lessest kudu!” Betty the gerenuk fractured her leg in 2021, but with an industry-leading and innovative wellbeing action plan in place for almost two years, she’s made an inspiring recovery. Today, Betty is thriving on all four legs and shares her home with our lesser kudu herd, earning her the affectionate nickname “the lessest kudu.” Thanks to all the hard work and dedication of our teams, Betty is stronger and living her best life in our care.
