Abstract

Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii L.) is species that categorized as critically endangered due to destruction and narrowing their habitat conservation efforts need to be carried out to protect and preserve the diversity of orangutan, one of which is exsitu conservation at the Central Park Zoo and Resort. This study aims to determine the individual behavior of male sumatran orangutan (Kiran) with a closed cage management system (cage) at Central Park Zoo and Resort Pancur Batu. The research was carried out for 14 days in December 2021 using a Focal Animal Sampling method, the data was recorded using the Instantaneous method and descriptive data about the management system was obtained by interviewing techniques. The results showed that the percentage of individual behavior of male orangutan as a whole, resting (42.79%), eating (22.58%), moving (19.60%), social (7.32%), playing (7.01%) and pooping (0.70%). Analysis management system of male sumatran orangutan at the Central Park Zoo and Resort have a coordinated system.
