The orangutan equivalent of lounging in a hammock — he seemed quite comfortable in that convoluted position. This is a mature male, as evidenced by the large cheek flaps. Shot in Tanjung Puting National Park in Indonesian Borneo. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 70mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/250th of a second.

I have never seen a goatee fail harder at camouflaging a double chin than this Orangutan’s goatee is failing right now.
Delightful. He makes it look easy to balance all that there!
Oh, to be that athletic!
He’s going to make all the yoga instructors out there jealous!
