PICTURES: Critically-endangered Orangutan chomps on coconuts Adorable images show a baby orangutan chomping down on its lunch, pulling funny faces as it struggles to bite the hard fruit. Endra Agustianto, a professional photographer, captured the images from only five meters away, waiting for the perfect moment to click a snap of the posing primate. Captured at Ragunan Zoo in Jakarta, Indonesia, the young Borneo orangutan leapt at the opportunity to model as it attempted to eat a coconut. “I felt very happy and interested to capture these photos,” the 52-year-old, from Tangerang Selatan, Indonesia, told http://NeedToKnow.co.uk. “The orangutan was very cute and photogenic.” The critically endangered species number only 104,000 worldwide, reports WWF. Growing up over four feet tall and weighing more than 200 pounds, the fuzzy primate is suffering a severe population decline, falling more than 55% in the last 20 years. But that is not going to stop this little one from enjoying its meal. ENDS EDITOR’S NOTE: Press must mention photographer Endra Agustianto somewhere within the copy as per case study's request.
