About a month ago, during the Olympics, an orangutan box office was born on the safari.

At the zoological center, together with the mayor of Ramat Gan, Carmel, her mother Cohen decided to call it Tokyo.

The decision comes on the day that the world celebrates Orangutan Day, which is designed to raise awareness of the plight of endangered monkeys in light of the destruction of their habitats.

"We hope that sweet Tokyo will help us bring up on this day the story of these adorable monkeys, and may help a little in stopping their extinction," Safari said.

Japanese Ambassador to Israel Koichi Mizushima welcomed the decision in a video he sent: "The name Tokyo for the box office is an exciting tribute to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which have just ended successfully here in Japan. I wish Gora and Emma Tana health, happiness and love. "The orangutan, which is endangered in the wild. I hope the Tokyo box office, like the Tokyo Olympics, will be a symbol of peace, success, happiness and hope."
