Love makes the world go round! A young orangutan and mother showing affection.

The Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii) is the rarer of the two species of orangutans. Living and endemic to Sumatra island of Indonesia, they are smaller than the Bornean Orangutan. The Sumatran Orangutan grows to about 4.6 feet tall and 200 pounds in males. Females are smaller, averaging 3 feet and 100 pounds. Compared to the Bornean Orangutan, the Sumatran Orangutans possess a lighter and longer pelage, a longer face, a smaller stature, and flanges that are covered in small white hairs. Wild Sumatran Orangutans in the Suaq Balimbing swamp have been observed using tools. An orangutan will break off a tree branch that’s about a foot long, snap off the twigs and fray one end. It then will use the stick to dig in tree holes for termites. They’ll also use the stick to poke a bees nest wall, move it around and catch the honey. In addition, orangutans use tools to eat fruit. When the fruit of the Neesia tree ripens, its hard, ridged husk softens until it falls open. Inside are seeds that the orangutans love, but they are surrounded by fiberglass-like hairs that are painful if eaten. A Neesia-eating orangutan will select a five-inch stick, strip off its bark, and then carefully collect the hairs with it. Once the fruit is safe, the ape will eat the seeds using the stick or its fingers. Although similar swamps can be found in Borneo, wild Bornean Orangutans have not been seen using these types of tools.

A free-range baby orangutan sucking its thumb in Singapore Zoo, Singapore. 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) Taken with Canon 5D, ISO 1250, f5.6, 1/50th sec, 100-400mm L Series Canon Lens @ 400mm, handheld, no flash, Auto white balance.

Tiny baby cradled in his mother’s arm. “Orangutans are among our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. They share 97% of their genes with us, they are highly intelligent, thoughtful and inventive. They have a culture and aesthetic sense, and they resemble us in facial expression, gesture and many other ways. The red apes, which live only in Borneo and Sumatra, are far more “human” than human beings, and thus probably too good for this world. They are strong as oxen, but do not defend themselves against poachers or the loggers of the palm oil corporations – and are mercilessly slaughtered.” / The whole time I was in Singapore shooting the photos of Orangutans, the sky was white with smoke haze drifting across from Indonesia, where the little remaining rainforest supporting this critically endangered species is being utterly destroyed. Destroyed at such an inconceivable rate that Orangutans will be extinct in the wild by 2010. / Thank Goodness for men like Willie Smits.

An Orangutan female – I noticed how beautiful her big eyes were and waited until she dropped her eyes downward to capture a moment of thought and solitude. I loved the idea that she was daydreaming and wondered what was going through her mind… Click to visit my animal photography & art blog! / Email me at durberville@optushome.com.au Subscribe by Email to Natalie Manuel Photography Find me at Flickr Join my facebook group More of my work on Redbubble* /

FEATURED NOV 2009 THE WORLD AS WE SEE IT OR AS WE MISSED IT Animal emotions always strike me with their honest unmasked beauty. Shot at a zoo. Nikon D70s;Nikon 70-300mm lens; f/4.8; 1/400sec;180mm focal length. / -Song written by Tadd Dameron; / performed by Sarah Vaughan_ / If you could see me now / you’d know how blue i’ve been / one look is all you’d need / to see the mood I’m in / perhaps then you’d realise / I’m still in love with you. If you could see me now / you’d find me being brave / and trying awfully hard / to make my tears behave / but that’s quite impossible / I’m still in love with you. You’ll happen my way / on some memorable day / and the month will be May / for a while / I’ll try to smile / but can I play the part? / Without my heart / behind the smile… The way I feel for you / I never could disguise / the look of love is written / plainly in your eyes / I think you’d be mine again / if you could see me now. Same guy, same shoot..my Earthling.. /
