The Blue Marble

Uploaded: November 11, 2010

Description

I saw this orangutan pick up this blue marble. I was wondering how it might have gotten into her area. I was concerned for her welfare but she put it in her mouth, rolled it around and then spit it out and just looked at it.

Every time I look at this one's thumbnail picture, I think she's lighting a cigarette! :) Her colors are gorgeous in this one, Joyce!

Congrats on the EP, too! #1328796

It does look like she's lighting up. Too funny. Thanks! #9052295

Karen and I actually have met and we are members of a local camera club "Walking in Memphis". Our first visit was at the Zoo. We have kept in contact and plan to go on some more outings. #9067987

Yes, she is cute. They are the most interesting animals to watch. But, when you're watching them sometimes they're also watching you! #9068068
