Species: Orangutan | Location: Semenggoh Nature Reserve, Malaysia
We visited the orangutan sanctuary at feeding time and spent a couple hours just watching members of the orangutan community -- moms, dads, babies -- come into the open for fresh fruit. I took a lot of photos that showed the fences and feeding platform of the sanctuary, but I also wanted to really zoom in on some of the orangutans to create a photo that looked like it could have been taken in the wild. Just as I was focusing on this large male climbing through the trees, he popped a small banana in his mouth. It was gone pretty quickly so I'm glad he was already in my viewfinder!
