Orangutan Family--Two Images

From my gallery, "A Visit To The Toronto Zoo"

Father and mother are in the top image. Their baby is in the bottom image.

Fully mature males can be distinguished by their prominent cheek pads and longer hair. According to
recent research, orangutans may have an edge over other apes in taking intelligence tests.
