(KSL News) -- A collection of rare and potentially pricey art is up for auction at the San Diego zoo.

The collection of six abstract paintings were created by some of the zoo's orangutans who, from the looks of things, were more interested in eating the paint than painting with it.

The unusual work is being sold to raise money for research and rescue of the great apes around the world.

You can get a closer look at the six prized pieces of ape art by visiting our the web site linked at the right of this story. The auction ends this Saturday.
