“Meaning of life you say”? “Well don’t ask me, I’m just an Ape”
Thumbsucker by acearns

A baby orangutan sucking its thumb. This critically endangered species demonstrates significant intelligence, with an ability to reason and think. The orangutan is closest relatives, sharing 97% of the same DNA as humans. I’ve been to Borneo (Dec 2007) and was shocked at the amount of jungle cleared to make way for palm oil plantations. Close your eyes, and imagine flying into Sandakan on the east coast – as far as you can see there are rows upon rows of palm trees. Rows upon rows. Then more rows upon rows. Then more rows upon rows. “Orangutans are one of the most critically endangered of the great apes, due to poaching and habitat loss. Based on the World Bank’s estimation that mechanized logging in the Kalimantan forest, (Indonesian Borneo), will result in its total loss by 2010, and other statistics stating that wild orangutans are disappearing at a rate of 5,000 orangutans per year, optimistic predictions give the orangutan ten more years before extinction in the wild.” (Source: Borneo Orangutan Survival UK http://www.savetheorangutan.co.uk/index.php) www.alexcearnsphotographics.com.au (C) Copyright 2006-2008 Alex Cearns Photographics.

Siamang adult...... by jdmphotography

The Siamang, as an arboreal primate, absolutely depends on the forest for existence, needing trees for its living. At the moment, the Siamang is facing a population decrease due to habitat loss, poaching and hunting. The Siamang mainly eats various parts of plants. The Sumatran Siamang is more frugivorous than its Malayan cousin, with fruit making up to 60% of its diet. The Siamang eats at least 160 species of plants, from vines to woody plants, Its major food is figs. The Siamang is native to the forests of Malaysia, Thailand, and Sumatra.

Sadness by Cheri McEachin

I am a great believer in Zoo’s as my Philidelphia Zoo helps animals and is super clear on what is best for the animals and it shows on their wonderful faces. / However, there is a small Zoo near me in NJ, and I try to avoid going there as they all look so sad. I think this is the first photo that I have made that clearer depicts sadness on his face. He sat infront on me to get some photos then when I put my camera away, he left. I told him thank you, and if I could I would make his home so much bigger than it is. This sad boy that makes my heart sink is a Japanese Macaque. /

Helpless by WayoftheWarrior

I try to be brave in these hard times. I think the look on my face says otherwise. The others see me and look to me for answers. I have none. They feel the loss of food and habitat and ask me why. I have no answer to give them. The young ones cry in fear and I turn away so they will not see the same tears in me. I walk through what is left of our home and look for an answer but can not find it. At least not here. I am big, I am strong, I am helpless!
