EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph (WAT-5035), the expressive face of a young Orang-utan (Pongo pygmaeus) from Borneo reveals a sense of fear and vulnerability as it clings tightly to its mother. Orang-utans, also known as "forest apes," are the world's largest tree-climbing mammals, native to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. The mother's protective gaze is fixed on the surrounding environment, her eyes scanning for any potential danger. The baby's wide-open eyes, bared teeth, and tense body language speak volumes about the primal instincts that drive these remarkable creatures. Orang-utans are highly intelligent and social animals, with complex social structures and intricate communication systems. Despite their intimidating appearance, Orang-utans are gentle and peaceful animals. They are critically endangered due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and poaching. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving their natural habitats and protecting these fascinating primates for future generations. This beautiful print, taken by the skilled photographer M. Watson, is available for personal display purposes only. It is not to be reproduced in any way. For inquiries or to purchase a print, please contact Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment at prints@ardea.com or call 020 8672 2067. Orang-utans are just one of the many incredible primates and mammals that call Asia home. From the playful macaques to the elusive gorillas, the continent is a treasure trove of biodiversity. Let this photograph inspire you to learn more about these fascinating creatures and the vital role we play in their conservation.
