"Look Mum, no hands!" the young fellow seems to say as he lets himself fall and the indulgent mother looks on. Among all creatures on earth Orangutans are closest to humans genetically. See the young fellow's palm - it looks almost human.

This is a very humorous shot, Raj. I love the look on the little ones face. The mother looks like it is smiling proudly at him. Very nice shot of these fantastic critters.

I have no idea why, Raj, but this picture brought to mind THIS SONG. I'm not so sure I agree with it, but it came to mind.

Nice shot of our cousins here, and you're right about the palm on that youngster. I seem to remember a great aunt that had that same look about her...lol....

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Orangutans will be orangutans! I love the mother's approving look and junior's dexterity. A wonderful and fun capture, Raj.

Give them opposing thumbs and they will be like us. Sometimes I am all thumbs. You don't suppose.........

Great post Raj. It looks like a happy family getting ready to watch a Sitcom.

I was following PJ link as well and like to agree that the 'You Are A Human Animal' song is great indeed. To me it's an appropriate song for you wonderful image Raj. Look at the expressions on the faces of Mom and her youngster. Differs nothing from human expressions. Great post!

Orangs are my absolute favourites Raj from the great alpha males that are huge and look like they are wearing an old,tatty woollen coat to the the tiny young that look like surprised haystacks. All are wonderful and you've caught them perfectly here.
