      More so! Apparently he escaped with one of the females from the harem. They than raised a pug, which Ken taught to do a righted handed salute... for which he went to court for. These are indeed strange time, which we live in...

    I once visited Thailand with my family when I was a teenager. We went to a zoo and they had an orangutan at a cafe, posing for photos with tourists. My little brother and I went to get such a photo, and put arms over his shoulders, and he put his arms over ours. He would have liked to hug us much longer though; after the photo was taken he didn't want to let go until his handler yelled orders at him. I didn't learn about how these type of Asian zoos treat their animals until much later. If I had known, I'd have refused to go to the zoo entirely. But that orangutan was nice, calm and just wanted friendship.

    He even gets his gf honey badger to help him get out of the more elaborate enclosures. There is a 40 minute documentary on stoffel on YT and I laughed through the entire thing.

Which meant getting out of his enclosure and then digging under an electric fence to get into the lions enclosure. First time he attacked the male lion and bloodied his face and the lions kept away from him. 2nd time he got in, the lions all ganged up on him and mauled him and stoffel needed months to recover. Then he started breaking out so he could break into his handlers house by smashing windows.

    It’s amazing that this story lives on. I wrote the song Ken Allen in 1985. I was interviewed about Ken Allen in 2024. Through the years many reporters wanted to know the deeper message of the song. I always said, “There is no deeper message,” But last year I pondered that question again and I had a better answer. Ken was very smart. If you live in a jungle, you use that brain power to create a better life in the jungle. But if you live in a cage, how do you exercise that brilliant mind? You carefully plan and execute escapes. Once you’ve escaped and been caught, that event is complete.

The keepers told the tourists that he was signing things like "Hello", "I love you." "I love the zoo." etc...he was actually singing stuff like "Get me out of here." "Do you have a car?" and asking guests to get him human food.

For yet another layer of context, "orange" in Indonesian is not "orang", even though that is the colour of many a grand orangutan. For the colour it's "oranye". For the fruit it's "jeruk". So you see - this game is difficult to win.

    Ken didn't die.
    He stole a runned down yacht, transformed it into an oil freighter, and picked up a shipwrecked crew with 2 Japanese punks, a French guy with long silver hair, a little Singaporean girl, a guy in red robes, and some buff old guy on their way to Egypt.
    Sure he spent a lot of time looking at playboy mags and eating apples, but he sure knew how to accommodate them even dressing up as a ship captain from time to time.
