Photo Of The Day By Koustav Maity

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “That’s Funny” by Koustav Maity.

“That must be a very funny joke shared by the doting mother,” says Maity. “The baby sure wanted to hear more, as for baby orangutans, mom is the best friend for the first five to 10 years. Orangutans are known for the strong bonding shared by the cuddly mom and clingy baby. I shot this mom and baby orangutan photograph in a safari park. This is a very rare moment in the wild as orangutans are critically endangered due to deforestation, palm oil plantation, poaching and hunting.”
