Old Man of the Forest: Orangutan

Orangutan
Artist's Description

While drawing the Old Man of the Forest, the solemn expression on this orang-utan's face often made me wonder if he, too, was aware of what was happening in his world. With the forests in South East Asia declining rapidly, I sincerely hope that this will not be the first of the great apes to become extinct in the wild.
