Thanx everyone (Rob, Krisetn, Diane, Leanne, Donna, Colleen, and Colette) for great comments. Actually he's waiting for lunch. The keeper is across that moat about 10' away and about 2 minutes from starting her 'lunch time; spiel about these Orangutangs. They get plastic bottles of fruit drink with vitamins and then Coconuts. They are quite facsinating to watch. Thanx again all - Allan #530494

Thanx everyone (Claudia, Debra, Charlene, and Sharon) for the terrific comments always appreciated. Claudia, this complex where they're on display is about 10,000' in area. They have 18 Orangutangs at the Zoo, mostly split into groups of threes and they display a different group each day. It seems that a lot of the females (for some strange reason), don't seem to get along, eh… and just can't be together on display. Go figure, that females Orangutangs can sometimes be really "catty". Must be a girl thang… (he, he, he…) - Your friend, Allan #530612

Carolyn, we passed in 'cyberspace', thank you so much for the great comment - Allan #530619

Bonnie C. Lackey level-classic May 11, 2004

Well, no wonder the "Big O" wants out of there - all that female hostility is just too stressful - you can see he's on edge! I think Dr. Love's TSS is about to become Dr. Strangelove's TSS... #530657

Darren K. Fisher May 11, 2004

What a great capture Allan. I love the posed and the color you captured in the coat. #530689

Carol Engstrom level-classic May 11, 2004

He's so intense. Nice shot, Allan. #530719

Allan L. Whitehead May 11, 2004

Thank you so much everyone (Bonnie, Darren, and Carol) for the great comments. I truly appreciate them. Bonnie, I think that DLTSS has been thought of as "Strangelove's" for an awfully long time, eh… (he, he, he) Thanx again all - your friend, Allan #530746

Donna J. Taff May 11, 2004

Thanx everyone (Dale Ann, Ronnie, Terry, & Susan) for the great comments. Ronnie, you're such a smooth talker, eh… That smile on his face is in anticipation of being with Dr. Love's TSS. He told me (in broccoli, naturally) later that's what he was thinking. He, he, he… Thanx again y'all - Allan #531360

Thanx for the kind words and great commments Carol and Kathleen. Carol. everyone knows that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, eh…
Kathleen, yes most of the animals I've entering so far have been from Toronto's Zoo. I'm off to African Lion Safari tomorrow with my nephew viviting from England. Only I could have missed the "elephants" at the Safari when I was there last week, doohhh… mmm doonnnuuts. Thanx again girls, I truly doappreciate that - your good friend, Allan #531612
