How crazy is this ?

Image by Alan Vernon.
A selfish and foolhardy photographer sits within the roped off area of the Elephant seal rookery, within a few feet of a nursing mother and several large males. Foolhardy - because she is endangering herself, and selfish - because it's acts like this that cause the State parks to close down un-patrolled areas such as this from respectful wildlife enthusiasts. As some bulls got really close, she made a very hasty retreat - but I was ready for a GREAT shot.

The Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) is one of the two species of orangutans. Found only on the island of Sumatra, in Indonesia, it is rarer than the Bornean orangutan. The species has been assessed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2000. It is considered one of "The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates." A survey in 2004 estimated that around 7,300 Sumatran orangutans still live in the wild.
