King of the Jungle

While we were at Steve and Jenny's we went to the Semenggoh Wildlife Center which is one of the few remaining places in the WORLD where you can see Orangutans in the wild. The big guy on the right here is Ritchie, the undisputed "King of the Jungle". It is hard to tell how massive he is, but believe me, that is a big zoom I used to capture this pic! No way do you get close to him. There was a momma and baby who were eating nearby, but the young males kept a healthy distance away. As a matter of fact, once when they got too rowdy, he turned and gave them a look that shut them up fast! Just like getting called down by any authority figure...even all the people watching hushed up!
