【World Of Single Jaye】
A Sumatran orangutan from the Perth Zoo,World Of Single Jaye Australia, has been presented with a Guinness World Record Thursday, for being the oldest of her kind in the world.
But she doesn't give two hoots.
Puan is the 60-year-old matriarch of the zoo's orangutan colony. Born in 1956, she's been cared for by the facility since 1968, after Malaysia's Sultan of Johore gave her as a gift, in exchange for some Australian animals. As you do.

Proving that she's the spirit animal of all curmudgeonly, introverted types who don't play well with others, the great grandmother is famous for her "attitude."
Despite playing a crucial role in the zoo's breeding and successful release program, primate keeper Martina Hart said in a statement that Puan will "definitely tell you off and stamp her foot if she has to wait too long for her food."
She continues: "But she is the grand old dame of our colony and treated with the respect befitting a lady of her age." Um, GOALS.

In the wild, Sumatran orangutan females are rarely known to live past 50, so at 60 years old, Puan is an international treasure.
Her species is critically endangered in the wild due to factors like deforestation for palm oil, poaching and rubber plantations.
What an absolute beauty.
