This photo was taken by Gerd Schuster in 2008.
Gerd explains: A male Orangutan, precariously to overhanging branches, flails the water with a pole, trying desperately to spear a passing fish.
The extraordinary image, a world exclusive, was taken in Borneo on the island of Kaja. The individual had seen locals fishing with spears on the Gohang River. Although the method required too much skill for him to master, he was later able to improvise by using the pole to catch fish already trapped in the local’s fishing lines.

As of now, Orangutan species are considered to be critically endangered.
Orangutans are among the most intelligent primates; they use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foilage. The Apes have been extensively studied for their learning abilities. There may even be distinctive cultures withing populations.
