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."
