Hee! This reminded me of an orang I saw in NOLA's Audubon Zoo. There was an elderly male with very long hair and a rather nasty disposition. He liked to throw poop at anyone who got close enough.

It's been a while since my last orangutan post. The problem is that most photos you find are of fairly placid individuals, or of adorable little ones (twins, or in diapers--too much, with the tufts of hair, and liquid eyes...anyways).
But here we have a dominant male in his wrath. That's a mug that commands respect. Once again, I appreciate the flashing of teeth and the pee-my-pants vocalizations that so often precede attacks from mammals. They give me a chance to run away and cower another day.
