AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Sibu the Orangutan has miffedhis Dutch keepers by refusing to mate with females andshowing sexual interest only in tattooed humanblondes. Apenheul Primate Park hoped Sibu would become itsbreeding male when he arrived two years ago, butorangutans aren't his type. "He chases them, or ignores them, but he doesn't dowhat he should do," said a spokeswoman for the park. Instead, Sibu fancies his female keepers, especiallyblondes. That, the spokeswoman said, was common fororangutans but Sibu has a fetish for tattoos, harkingback to a heavily tattooed keeper who reared him. "orangutans have special interests in specialsubjects. Sibu happens to like tattoos," she said. The park hasn't given up on Sibu, 31. He showed anamorous interest in a female Orangutan while living inEngland and keepers hope he will find love whenreunited with her in a new enclosure in Chester,England.

And now how many of you now have a old musical-play-turned-film song stuck in your heads?

Not the song in my head, but I do have a mental image of the orangutan hanging out in biker bars looking for "Miss Right"...
