Orangutan an alpha male caged and very much an endangered species nowadays. This male Orangutan looks sad and dismayed at its predicament. The Orangutan population is said to be in rapid decline in Sumatra and Borneo and it is believed they could well be extinct in the next decade! This Orangutan photo face portrait sums it up. In the Indonesian and Malay Language Orang mean person and Hutan is forest hence the name Orangutan literally means man of the forest and with forests also in decline due to human activity there doesn't seem much hope for these beautiful and incredible primates.
