L'homme de la forêt.The man of the forest.

The orangutans are the only exclusively Asian living genus of great ape. They are the largest living arboreal animals. They have longer arms than other great apes, and their hair is typically reddish-brown, instead of the brown or black hair typical of other great apes. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, they are currently found only in rainforests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, though fossils have been found in Java, the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Vietnam and China. There are only two surviving species, both of which are endangered: the Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) and the critically endangered Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii).

• joli auto-portrait avec cette coquetterie du regard dans l'ombre. Dommage que le MAP soit trop sur l'arrière et pas sur la face légèrement floue @LASSASIATE: je me trouble facilement...
