Urangutans are large apes that live in southeast Asia (on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra). These apes mostly live in trees (they are arboreal) and swing from branch to branch using their arms.
The word orangutan means "man of the forest" in the Malay language. As its habitats are being usurped by man, the orangutan's population is decreasing and it is in grave danger of extinction.
Anatomy
Orangutans have a large, bulky body, a thick neck, very long, strong arms, short, bowed legs, and no tail. Orangutans are about 2/3 the size of the gorilla.
Hair:
Senses:
Orangutans have senses very similar to ours, including hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch.
Hands and Feet:
Orangutan hands are very much like ours; they have four long fingers plus an opposable thumb. Their feet have four long toes plus an opposable big toe. Orangutans can grasp things with both their hands and their feet. The largest males have an arm span of about 7.5 feet (2.3 m).
Size
Orangutans are about 2/3 the size of the gorilla.
Orangutans Height Weight
Female 2.6-3.5 ft (0.8-1.1 m) 110 lb (50 kg)
Male 3.2-4.5 ft (1-1.4 m) 200 lb (90 kg)
Intelligence and Language
Orangutans are very intelligent. They have been known to use found objects as tools; for example, they use leaves as umbrellas to keep the rain from getting them wet. They also use leaves as cups to help them drink water.
Behaviour and Social Habits
Orangutans are shy, solitary animals that are active during the day (they are diurnal). They live alone in large territories. This is probably due to their eating habits; they need a large area in order to get enough food and too many orangutans in one area might lead to starvation.

The only long-lasting orangutan social group is the mother and offspring, who live together for about 7 years. When mating, the male and female orangutan stay together for only a few days.
Sleeping Platforms:
Each evening, orangutans construct a "nest" in the tree branches for the night in which they will curl up and sleep. These nests are made out of leaves and branches. Nests are shared by a mother and her nursing offspring. Sometimes, the orangutan will use a leaf as a "roof" to protect itself from the rain. Orangutans often nap in the afternoon after a morning spent obtaining food.

Perfect capture Reina, for the exact shot and the beauty of the scene.

I like it a lot: composition, colors, sharpness, POV, DOF, focus, lighting, background, framing, notes.

I don't like it: nothing to grumble.

Thank you so exquisite presentation and my best wishes for these holidays that approach... Ricardo

Hi Reina.
Amazing shot of thus charming baby. Excellent captured scene with perfect reflection of the mood of this animal. Outstanding details and sharpness, exposure and contrast, DOF and very expressive POV. My best wishes and congratulations. Happy holiday time and TFS.
Alexei.

Dag Reina,
Fijne Kerstdag voor jouw!
Deze kerel heeft er blijkbaar niet veel zin in. De lusteloosheid druipt eraf.
Ik vroeg me af of het een inwoner van Apenheul was?
Leuke foto.

Hi Reina

Too cute for words my friend, so I won’t say anymore…no, I’m only pulling your leg.

I’ll just say like Ricardo, “Nothing to grumble about” since you really captured a lovely shot here of this youngster. It looks almost innocent, but I am sure it will be capable of a load full of mischief given just a moment’s time to snap out of its laziness. The piece of greenery in its mouth adds to the atmosphere of the shot and those soulful eyes speak volumes.

The soft green grass surrounding the infant gives the composition a lovely tenderness. The colours are well saturated, the details are perfect, and the exposure levels were brilliantly controlled.

Great work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
