Submitted to the Sold! group. / Sold 1 Large Mounted Print, black border with artist details, Mystery Buyer / Featured in the “Primates” Group 9/3/08 / Featured by the group “Endangered Species” 7/08. / Top Ten in the “Primates” Group Avatar Challenge 9/28/08 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. Don’t miss out on these other animal images: ! - - - /

A young male Western Lowland Gorilla sitting apart from the group. When I saw the Gorilla move into this position I knew I wanted this to mirror the famous sculpture by Auguste Rodin. Human beings naturally empathise with what is “similar” to them, so my primate photos often show their resemblances to humans, while still showing what is unique and beautiful about their species. My Gorilla series is currently on sale. 50% of proceeds go towards the Congo Rangers. / / / / CLICK TO VIEW MY GORILLA SERIES / / / / Click to see more of my photographic artwork / Click to visit me! / / /

Yet more from Marwell – what can I say? The animals there are so photogenic!

Golden Lion Tamarins from South America are classified as Endangered. / By 1965 numbers were so low that the Poco das Antas Reserve was established in 1975 in an attempt to protect them. Marwell Zoo is now part of the Tamarin Conservation Programme and several pairs from the zoo have been reintroduced to the wild near the Reserve and are breeding successfully. / Visit www.marwell.org.uk This, I think, is one of my best cutouts. I love the golden colour – these little fellas are just so full of life and energy – they are terrific fun to be around. I think one of these days I’ll have to spend a whole afternoon in their enclosure (it’s a walk through) and sit with a tripod. It’ll be interesting to see what they make of me!

Portrait of a Silverback Western Lowland Gorilla native to Africa. This gorilla is on the Red List of endangered species, and has been moved from the endangered list to the crtically endagered ist. The Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is a subspecies of the Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) that lives in montane, primary, and secondary forests and lowland swamps throughout all or parts of Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Of all gorillas it is the gorilla usually found in zoos. A male Western Lowland Gorilla can stand 6 feet tall and weigh almost 450 lbs. The Western Lowland Gorilla eats plants and, occasionally, insects. They live in family groupings consisting of one dominant male, 5 to 7 adult females, children and adolescents, and possibly a few non-dominant males. Adult male Gorillas are prone to a particular form of cardiomyopathy, a degenerative heart disease. Babec, a Western Lowland Gorilla on exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo in Birmingham, Alabama (USA) was the first gorilla to receive an artificial pacemaker. The Western Lowland Gorilla is the most widespread and common gorilla, but is classified as Critically Endangered because its population had declined over 80 percent in 10 years.[citation needed] The Western Lowland Gorilla is critically endangered due to the Ebola virus and their main predators: man (poachers) and leopards.

I love going to the zoo when i get the chance. I found these two characters at the LA Zoo. the little one was quite a character and loved to show off. He teased the orangutan incesently. I could not believe the patience the orangutan showed with this little guy. All content & images are © amari, amarica.

I love the interaction between the primates at the zoo. They are very intelligent and social beings. I was at the LA Zoo and i watched these two interacting with each other for the whole time I stood there observing them. I imagined one of them saying to the other, “I was just thinking…” Love these guys. “Images Do Not Belong To The Public Domain” All images and writings are the copyright of the artist – © amari, amarica.

The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. / Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animals gaze flickers and / passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond. ~John Berger 1926 British author and critic

I had taken this photo at the Ft. Worth Zoo last year. The chimp on the right was carrying around what seemed to be her “security blanket.” As she sat down beside the other one she laid it at her feet and folded her arms in exactly the same manner. They both look to me as if they have been confined for many years. There I was taking photos and at the same time having “mixed feelings” about the confinement of these animals. / To me, particularly in this photo, it evokes a tremendous sadness…

The black-crested Sulawesi Macaques is one of the most endangered monkeys in the world, populations declining 60% in the last 10 years. This monkey is found on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, where it is hunted because its meat is considered a delicacy. Habitat destruction is also contributing to their demise.
