Description
The hand of an orangutan holding a branch that she was holding.
I have been shooting this particular Orangutan for some time and finally felt like I got a shot of this particular one. She lives in an enclosure with her grandson. As I was looking over this particular image it reminded me of a quote by Sir Isaac Newton when he said, �In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God�s existence.� In looking at my own hand and comparing it to the hands of other animals, I am forced to agree with Newton that the way the human hand is constructed with a thumb, something divine was a part of our creation.
