AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Sibu the Orangutan has miffed his Dutch keepers by refusing to mate with females and showing sexual interest only in tattooed human blondes.
Apenheul Primate Park hoped Sibu would become its breeding male when he arrived two years ago, but orangutans aren't his type.
"He chases them, or ignores them, but he doesn't do what he should do," said a spokeswoman for the park.
Instead, Sibu fancies his female keepers, especially blondes. That, the spokeswoman said, was common for orangutans but Sibu has a fetish for tattoos, harking back to a heavily tattooed keeper who reared him.
"Orangutans have special interests in special subjects. Sibu happens to like tattoos," she said.
The park hasn't given up on Sibu, 31. He showed an amorous interest in a female Orangutan while living in England and keepers hope he will find love when reunited with her in a new enclosure in Chester, England.

Sibu, didn't your mama tell you that girls like that will just get you in trouble?

More on animal sexual behaviorFunny thing, I'd recently read this wikipedia entry on animal sexual behavior; specifically it spoke about how primates can have fetishes and cross-species attractions. There is a case of a gorilla (or was it a chimp?) that had a boot fetish... there is also the recent and tragic case of the camel in Australia that tried to mate with its human owner. There is another documented case of an orangutan that wanted to mate with a human female.-

Cobby, a chimp at the San Francisco Zoo, has a thing for zoo keeper rubber boots.Every Valentines day the SF Zoo puts on an x-rated animal "Sex Tour." If you get lucky, you might catch sight of Cobby in action. Tour guide Jane Tollini describes Cobby's love for boots this way:
"It's his special fetish," Tollini said. "He'll put his finger out and touch the shoe. ... Then he'll play with his nipples, eat bananas and masturbate." -
Oh, great. I just read through all this and then died a little inside.
