Finger Licken Two
This is the second shot posted of the Orangutan's enjoying the peanut butter that was given them in a white bag by the keepers to make them happy. In my other postings, I spoke of the degree the keepers go to, to keep these guys from getting bored. Giving them surprises like food in bags, clothing to play with and boxes to hide in. When they get bored, they start begging for food from viewers and if someone throws them food, the germs from our hands are transmitted to them and they get sick. I have spent many hours watching this family and taking photos of them. Probably several thousand shots to get some of these wonderful heart warming variations of them playing and enjoying them selves, even shots of them pouting LOL
Taken with a Nikon D-200 camera, a Nikon 80-400mm lens at a focal length of 310mm, shutter speed of 1/30 sec, aperture F/11, with a tripod.
