Description
Taken at the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo Rainforest - Cleveland, OHThis is the young orangutan in the Rainforest of the Cleveland Zoo was bugging mom and dad with the bit of carrot he had in his hand. He'd swing down, hold it out to them and snatch it back and then take a nibble out of it. As big as daddy was, I'm not sure I would have been bugging him like that! But then again, little Jr. still had quickness and agility on his side where the others weren't so quick anymore. Ah...age catches up with all of us no matter what species...

Very nice capture and the rope enhances by framing the Orangutan - nice work.

Aw thank you dear!! He was fairly challenging to capture because he kept moving and the flash wouldn't have worked so I was hoping he'd stay still.

Aaw, wish I could've seen that . I never get bored of watching Orangutan behaviour.
Nice composition . The rope and the beam almost seem to shelter him.

He was a riot to watch for sure! And thanks!! I was lucky to have gotten a nice still shot of him, shooting with as slow a shutter speed as I was and so pleased with how it turned out!
