This study aims to determine the effect of giving food enrichment to changes in the behavior of orangutans (Pongo sp.) at the Kasang Kulim Zoo, Kampar, Riau. One bornean orangutan (Tina) and one sumatran orangutan (Boy) were observed for their behavior before and during the enrichment. The food enrichment provided is in the form of an iron tray that is placed on the bars of the outer orangutan cage with a height of one meter. The study used the focal animal sampling method, and orangutan activity was recorded using the instantenous sampling method every minute for eight hours a day for a total of three weeks. The data obtained were analyzed using the Friedman test followed by the Wilcoxon test.
