Mischievous smile
A flanged male Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) caught with a mischievous smile as he sits on a feeding platform holding a peeled banana in his hands. The cheek flanges and neck pouch are the sign of a dominant male. It is really quite amazing how human-like the expressions of these great apes are. Their Malay name translates to 'Man of the Forest' recognizing their very human traits. Tanjung Puting National Park, Kalimantan Province, Indonesia.
