Only Five Orangutans in a Barrow



We know you haven't seen anything this cute so far today.

We have no idea where these orangutans are going but they don't look scared or mistreated so we think / hope there is no foul play here.

We need a cameo from Steven Wright when he asks, "Since they call an orangutan 'The Old Man of the Forest,' what do they call the young ones?"


No time to dredge for it now but there are videos with Julia Roberts on YouTube in which she went out to meet orangutans and this wasn't just some photo op.  At one point she was laughing when a baby orang peed on her.  If you're interested in these lovely animals, I'm sure you would be charmed by her visit with them.

They're vegetarians, absolutely harmless animals.  I don't want to get to mournful because we haven't lost them yet but it would be hella tragic if we ever did.

Geez, when you think how much fun hanging out with dogs, these guys must be a riot.

Sure I'm concerned about them. Those orangs aren't treated so well over there. I didn't know the source of the pic so I can't know what actually happens here. It looks like a good thing but maybe it isn't and maybe it's chicken but I didn't want the chance of anyone springing it on me if this is for some nefarious purpose.

I do see you have settled one thing, tho: they're Kids of the Forest until they become the Old Men of the Forest.
