'Tinder for Orangutans' gets The Zoo into the swing of things

Romance is in the air on The Zoo on RTÉ One on Sunday night as 'Tinder for Orangutans' sees male resident Sibu getting into the swing of things. 

Sari is ready for her close-up

With Sari the Bornean Orangutan set to leave her home in Barcelona Zoo to join Sibu and the rest of the troop in Dublin, the Zoo's staff are taking part in an international facial recognition study which has been dubbed 'Tinder for Orangutans'. 

Sibu plays it cool

They hope that a video of Sari will have Sibu eagerly awaiting her arrival in the Phoenix Park - and bringing his A-Game to their first meeting.
