To move through the jungle, orangutans don’t jump from branch to branch, but instead swing on vines and the flexible trunks and branches of thinner trees. This guy had just stopped to investigate my strange bald head, before swinging on past.
Hey Tommy, I’m told by the trusty sources of Wikipedia that the larger males have a wingspan of 7.5 feet. This guy was a younger juvenile, much smaller than the alpha male that was lurking around in the area. That being said, all the orangutans look like a torso with arms.

Fun shot.
Oh Fun! looks like you were right up in the action mr. Crane.
Very cool shot Sean. ?: What is the average arm span on these dudes?! That’s a pretty good stretch of real estate he’s got going on there.
