the Adelaide zoo in south australia, is into its second week of 4 where each week, a group of 5 people were chosen out of a larger group of volunteers to spend every day inside the old orangutang enclosure which isnt just a small cage. they also have a spa and get vet checks every day as if they were the regular animals at the zoo, they also get fed at certain times and given tasks and food foraging times to keep them amused.. it is partly a study on humans put in that situation (they do get to go home at night though) and also to raise funds for the a chimpanzee exhibit at the Monarto Zoo just out of adelaide city. you can read more about it on the Human zoo website. http://www.humanzoo.com.au/ it is interesting to see some similarities of humans to our primate cousins....
