This look corresponds to these hands. I have tried to fix to the photo the maximum possible, since it left to me very moved and with the reflection of the crystal. The important thing is to show this look with all its intensity.

The Bornean Orangutan, Pongo pygmaeus, is a species of orangutan native to the island of Borneo. Together with the slightly smaller Sumatran Orangutan, it belongs to the only genus of great apes native to Asia.

The Bornean Orangutan has a life span of about 35 to 40 years in the wild; in captivity it can live to be 60.

The Bornean Orangutan lives in tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests in the Bornean lowlands as well as mountainous areas 1500 m in elevation. It lives at different heights in the trees and moves large distances to find trees bearing fruit. Its diet consists of fruit as well as shoots, bark, mineral rich soil and bird eggs. It also eats insects but to a lesser extent than the Sumatran Orangutan.

The Bornean Orangutan travels on the ground more than its Sumatran counterpart. It is theorized this may be in part because there is no need to avoid the large predators which only exist in Sumatra such as the Sumatran Tiger.

The Bornean Orangutan is more common than the Sumatran, with about 45,000 individuals existing in the wild; there are only about 7,500 of the Sumatran species left in the wild. Orangutans are becoming increasingly endangered due to habitat destruction, and the bushmeat trade, and young orangutans are captured to be sold as pets, usually entailing the killing of its mother.

El orangután de Borneo (Pongo pygmaeus) es una especie de orangután que, como su nombre lo indica, es nativa de la isla de Borneo en Indonesia. Esta especie es la más numerosa con unos 45000 individuos en estado salvaje.Números que contrastan con los 7500 orangutanes de Sumatra que aún viven en su hábitat natural.

Sus grandes amenazas son los incendios, la tala de los bosques donde habita, la caza y el tráfico ilegal de sus crías en el mercado negro.

'Bali Starling This starling is also sometimes called Rothschild’s mynah and is one of the most endangered birds in the world. It is though there are only 19 birds left wild on the island of Bali.'
We can't afford to lose too many beautiful species like this. I hope my photos make people care about anmimals more.
