"Olympic Gymnast Epke Zonderland Teaches Orangutans How To Swing" [1]

"Monkey see, monkey do" is about to be put to the test. Seems some cooped-up orangutans, finally moved into more spacious outdoor digs at a Dutch zoo, have forgotten how to swing through the trees. So the zoo, Ouwehands Dierenpark Rhenen, is bringing in Olympic gymnast Epke Zonderland to re-teach them."

The Austin American-Statesman had the story from wire services August 14, 2010. [2]
