The Pose
This is 2 1/2 year old Kecil, male Bornean Orangutan.
Kecil was born at the Toledo Zoo, Ohio, but had complications at birth, and as a result, his birth mother didn't/wouldn't bond with him.
He came to Brookfield Zoo around 5 mos old and was paired with a surrogate mom, Maggie.
Kecil is doing quite well now and is getting more and more independent. Just love this little guy.
This is International Orangutan Week.
The wild orangutans are extremely endangered and could go extinct in the wild in our life time. Check out the palm oil crisis and see what you can do to help save them.
