Close encounter with an Orangutan
when i saw this huge male orangutan just about to get into a river, I got into the 5 feet deep river to get this intresting pespective of this amazing creature. Oragutans hate water and this was a rare sighting. Tanjung Putting National Park, Kalimantan , Indonesia
Interesting scene to witness, usually I see great wildlife images of orangutan's hanging out in trees or open grass field areas. Seeing this one venture into the river is different, great work getting into the water yourself while keeping your distance to documented this creature.
