Six down and one to go

Orangutan trying to fit as many bananas as possible into its mouth at a feeding station in Tanjung Puting National Park, Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The dominant animals come to the feeding stations first when the fruit is put out, and then the ones lower on the pecking order come. Some of the apes try to grab as much fruit as possible very quickly and then leave to stay out of trouble. Shoving lots of bananas into their mouths and then skeddaling seems to be a workable strategy. Since they need their hands for swinging through the trees, I guess their mouths are the only place they have to carry stuff. This young ape had six in his mouth, four of them still unpeeled.

  • L'anse aux Meadows is thought to be the location of the first Viking settlement in North America.  It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In this image the visitor center is framed by the 'Meeting of the two worlds' sculpture, completed in two pieces, one by Newfoundland sculptor Luben Boykov and the other by Swedish sculptor Richard Brixel. The two elements of the 3000 pound bronze sculpture symbolically correspond to the geographic points of departure and landing of the Vikings, and their subsequent meeting with Aboriginal peoples. L'anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, Newfoundland.
