Ruby, a baby orangutan at Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, spent Tuesday picking flowers and rolling in fields. The 2-year-old has only recently begun exploring the world outside her mother's arms. "In the winter she stays close to mom for warmth," said Lee Ann Rottman, the zoo's assistant curator of primates. "Now that it's nice and warm, she's venturing out."
