An Orangutan, Melbourne Zoo. He looked wistful, or perhaps just bored. While zoos provide us with easy opportunities to see wildlife up close they also can accentuate how we have made these animals prisoners. There are arguments for and against, but this image makes me wish there were no need or justification for any zoo, anywhere / Nikon D7000, F6.3, 1/160, ISO 200, 187 mm
