Kalim-Alam, a 1-year-old siamang whose name means "generous nature" in Indonesia, uses Karen, a 16-year-old orangutan, as a stepping stool at the San Diego Zoo during her morning play time in San Diego on February 19, 2008. The siamang is a species of lesser ape that shares the Absolutely Apes habitat with orangutans, a species of great apes. The two species are often seen interacting together at the Zoo but also share the environment in their native Indonesia.

A critically endangered black rhinoceros calf named "Ajubu" tried out his legs at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park on August 26, 2004. The nine-day-old male kept up with his first-time mother as she dashed around their habitat. An adult male, "Jambia," which was the last black rhino to be born at the Wild Animal Park seven years ago, sired the rambunctious calf. To date, 10 black rhinos have been born at the Park. Black rhinoceros are now only found in small pockets of eastern and southern Africa, numbering at a mere 3,600. In 1970, there were 65,000 black rhinos throughout larger areas of Africa, but poaching and loss of habitat have caused a devastating decline in the population of all five rhino species.
