INDONESIA: A HUMOROUS picture of a wild orangutan shows the mischievous ape pointing to its wrist as if to tell the photographer to hurry up. Pictures from one wildlife snapper’s eight-year quest to show two species of the rare ginger apes shows them displaying their playful side. Both Bornean and Sumatran Orangutans can be seen going about their everyday monkey-business of swinging from trees, drinking from the watering holes and helping out with the banana delivery. Other pictures show incredibly cute baby orangutans clinging to their mothers learning about ape-life. Wildlife photographer Andrey Gudkov (43) came up with the idea to photograph primates in their natural environment and began his journey on the Indonesian islands of Borneo at Tanjung Puting National Park and Sumatra at Gunung Leuser National Reserve.
