There's snow way I'm going outside!

Bornean orangutan Mali checks on the weather from the door of her den at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park in Devon.

With Arctic winds and snow forecast for parts of the country, it’s probably not the best time to go outside and play, even if you do have your own private island with climbing frames and ropes to swing on!

21-year-old Mali and her daughter Tatau, who will be 4 in April, share their home with adult females Gambira and Chinta and Chinta’s daughter Natalia.

Mali arrived at Paignton Zoo from Munster Zoo in Germany in November 2007.

Orangutans are threatened by hunting, the pet trade and habitat destruction. The Bornean orangutan is classed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List- the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal species.

A species is Endangered when the best available evidence indicates that it is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
