Orangutan (Pongo Pygmaeus)

Cute orangutan postcard from San Diego Zoo:) thanks Louisa!

for its first few weeks of life, a young orangutan holds tight to its mom's belly as she swing through the forest. The young orangutan will stay with its mother until 8 or older. When they are about 15 years old, male orangutan develop large cheek pads. Females find these very attractive and when males are fighting, they may resort to grabbing and biting each other on the cheek pads or ears until one of them gives up and runs away.

Greetings from Land Below The Wind @ Sabah, I’m Carol, 48 and had lived all my life here in Borneo Island of Malaysia, wonderful place surrounding by the beauty of nature..nice & friendly peoples around.

My greatest passion..of course collecting postcard & stamps from all over the world! :) thanks to PostCrossing for giving such opportunity to all postcard lovers:) I do like traveling but I’m not lucky enough for that :), but somehow via postcrossing, feels like I have been traveling all around to so many place! :-)..its been 16 years since I joined postcrossing and my collection keeps growing immensely.. thanks to everyone!

It’s a great feeling to open my postbox and knowing that postcard is there (instead of bills, statements, invoices, etc…..). Postcard arrived from someone somewhere in this world, at least we have a good reason to visit post office more often than usual, don’t you? :)

Peace & Love from Borneo Island..
