ORANGUTANS Jazz and Sprout had a Shrove Tuesday breakfast treat this morning as Dudley Zoo keepers whipped up pancakes for the pair.

Using the traditional eggs, flour and milk recipe, senior keeper Sophie Dugmore made up a batch of pancakes before facing a challenge to flip them over the moat to the girls who were ready and eagerly waiting to catch them.

Sophie said: “Our orangs enjoy a well-balanced diet of fruit, vegetables and primate pellets, but we do give them the odd sweet treat on special occasions.

“They were both reaching out for them before I’d even thrown them over and they even fished a few out of the moat from my bad throwing aim.

“They certainly enjoyed tucking into them though as they were gone in a flash!”
