Kluet, a 20-year-old Sumatran orangutan from the Adelaide Zoo, composed his first song &mdash; Give Me a Klue.
Pij Olijnyk, a primate keeper at the Adelaide Zoo and a producer for Kluet&rsquo;s single, said the song was comparable to some renowned modern jazz. &ldquo;There are certainly nods to a couple of classic jazz songs in there.&rdquo;
The song is being sold on Adelaide Zoo&rsquo;s website where people who buy it can pay whatever they want for it, with the money going toward supporting the zoo&rsquo;s three orangutans.
4k-7k Sumatran orangutans left in the wild
1,000 of them die a year due to habitat loss
