Behind these eyes...

An adult Orang-Utan (Pongo abelii) resting in a leafy oak tree, one arm holding on to a branch above.
This ape (♀︎ I think) had been watching me photographing the youngsters so I thought it only fair that they get a portrait too.
It doesn't really come across in this small image, but the eye contact is intense. 🦧💕
Photographed at Chester Zoo in England, UK.
