Anyone else love the fact that Orangutans look like grampas?

As douchey as it sounds, I imagine him with Morgan Freeman's voice.

Naw. His voice probably sounds rougher than Freeman's; shouting over lions will do that.

other than to overload the internet with cute animal pictures why do zoos keep letting monkey's hold other animals babies? I seem to see this alot, and I'm genuinely curious what causes this strange phenomenon.

Isn't that a female orangutan? Males have radically different faces.

Older males do. The younger ones look the same.

Seriously, why do I never have a camera on me every time I see this happen?

This is a tiger cub, this is a lion cub, as are those in the picture.
