A female orang-utan sunning herself. I wonder why a strictly tropical animal became so hairy.

---I wonder why a strictly tropical animal became so hairy--

Think to protect them from sunburn Raj, as there's no suncream in the bush, and there's not a 'snip & clip' either, lol.

Very good image. Love its attitude!

Wonderful capture. I especially like seeing the detail in his right hand as he holds onto the branch.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

She's going to watch the movie "Every Which Way But Loose," Raj.
You know she's a Clint Eastwood and Clyde fan.
It looks like you caught her in the wild, not a zoo.

She hasn't been to the beauty parlor for some time. Just can't do a thing with that straggly hairdo. Good one, Raj.

She better get out of the sun. She has turned a burnt orange. I think maybe they grew all that hair because too many times their mates give them the cold shoulder! LOL. Excellent shot, Raj.

My first thought was sunburn also but actually it's the hair that's red and unlike a lot of redheads who are very fair-skinned and have to be careful in the sun this one appears to be tanning very nicely...you raise a good point though, why in the heat of the tropics so much hair...maybe trying to impress Tarzan, lol...great shot, Raj, with the light catching the red/orange high-lights.

A good capture of the orangutan Raj. She is a beautiful shade red (and I don't have a clue about why so much fur in a tropical region-good question though-good question though.)

That is one cute lady [unless I am mistaken] or am I looking into the mirror by any accident ...? LOL
Love this hairstyle & colour, particularly if I am right as to the female gender.
