Orangutan

Orangutan means "man of the forest" in the Malay language.

This guy (female or young one) is free-living in the forest but is perhaps a rehabilitated individual, is doubtless fed, and is thoroughly used to hordes of people.

At two subsequent locations we saw truly wild Orangutans.

Well photographed. The orangutan seems comfortable with your presence.

Do you need to keep your windows and doors closed Don? Great shot..

This one looks very comfortable on this tree limb and certainly with you aiming a lens close by; nice shot!
