And how lucky he is.

That kid doesn't look like he feels all that lucky. I think he wants the bowl to himself.

Sibling rivalry, it's everywhere.

I love the similarities between them... round tummies, round heads, pudgy arms. I imagine at this stage in development, the ape has much better motor skills, stronger hands. Interesting pic.

I love little babies and little orangutans! I wish I had had an orangutan to grow up with- we would have been the best of friends.

It's true. They're on the lovable side of the uncanny valley.

That monkey is way cuter than that baby. It looks like he's saying "Get. Back. In. The. Water. Baby!"

"Noooo, don't get out! I'm not done playing yet."
