Rainforest Cafe is a themed restaurant chain. The first location opened in the Mall of America in Minnesota, USA on February 3, 1994.

Each Rainforest Cafe restaurant is designed to depict some features of a tropical rainforest, including plant growth, mist, waterfalls and figures of rainforest animals. Some of the animals are animatronic and start making animals noises and move.  My favorite part of these restaurants is when there is a 'rain storm' inside.  All the lights dim and there is 'lightning' and then it starts to rain inside the restaurant.  Not on the customers, only in parts by the walls. But it is very fun.  Our family loved to eat here when we visited Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Face View of an Orangutan

From the Exotic Wildlife collection

#46605 Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus)
The orangutan's habitat is now limited to the tropical forests of Borneo and Sumatra.  It is arboreal-meaning it rarely leaves its treetop home-and it feeds on fruits, bark, shoots, and flowers.  After a gestation period of 233-236 days, a mother gives birth to a single infant that she nurses and cares for lovingly.

An Orangutan from the Atlanta, Georgia Zoo

Orangutan
Orangutans are an endangered species found in lush tropical forests of only two Southeast Asian islands; Sumatra and Borneo.  Unlike other great apes, orangutans are truly arboreal, rarely leaving the trees to explore the forest floor.  In fact the world orangutan literally means "man of the forest" in Malay. With long arms and strong grasping hands and feet, orangutans are well adapted for life in the trees.
  Zoo Atlanta successfully breeds orangutans as one member institution of a coordinated breeding program called a Species Survival Plan.  Many of the orangtans(should be orangutans) exhibited at Zoo Atlanta are on loan from the Yerkes Regional Primate Center at Emory University.

Translation:

"When Gosha received a new skateboard he thought it was the best present in the world.  However, within half an hour he realized that the best present would be new front teeth."

The sender writes that this biodome, which is now a zoo, is located in the former velodrome (an arena for track cycling) left over from the 1976 Olympic Games.

The Biodome is divided into four ecosystems:
The Tropical Forest, (a replica of the South American rainforest)
The Laurentian Forest (a replica of the North American wilderness)
The Saint Lawrence Marine Eco-system (an estuary habitat modeled on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence)
and The Polar:  (an area divided into Arctic and Antarctic)
