QUIRKY WORLD ... Mum’s balancing act to watch over her toddler

ENGLAND: A fearless orangutan has been caught on camera as she walks a tightrope some 6m above the ground.

Mali, 20, and her toddler Tatau had been climbing around in a cargo net on one of their islands at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park in Devon.

The watchful mother effortlessly walked a tightrope to a spot where she could keep an eye on Tatau as her two-year-old explored alone.
