It's not often that you can get this close to an Orangutan; at least not in the UK? This example was very calm and just sat there with not much to say.
Apparently the name Orangutan in Malay means 'person'. When I was a child it was widely believed to mean. 'Old man of the forest? Who knows the truth? Maybe some of our friends in Malaysia or Indonesia have the answers? :)

Those of you with keen observation skills may spot some clues in the photograph, as to why this statuesque 'Orangutan' is in Britain?

Thank you everyone for your comments. I can't believe that no one spotted the glaringly obvious point that this is a statue of an Orangutan lol.
I did leave a clue on the last line of the post and on the bottom right of the photo.
Wonderful picture. I see the orangutan so close for the first time. Calm, good-natured monkey!

Brilliant animal portrait. You should approach the zoo and see if they’d like to buy the photo – after first researching to see what something like that goes for in your area, of course.
