my first reaction to this picture was “aw” — but after staring at it for about a minute, I’m kind of creeped out… It makes me nervous in an “I’m trying to eat your soul” way.
i’m at the end of a very long night shift at the moment mmm-kay? so i’m feeling a taaaad fragile, mmm-kay? and this little fella gave me a near HEART ATTACK!!!

God, did I laugh my head off!! Thanks Meg, that was a good one.
Ps: he’s just a bored little ape, playing with the window and his lips. Orang-utans have super sensitive lips and tongues – they can tie knots with them into strings, how cool’s that – so he’s simply fooling around with the smooth surface. Relax people, he wont suck your soul out.
Oh My god that is really cute. I want to squeeeezee its ickle checks!!!! But if anyone has been watch Britian Next Top Model….. Its bit freaky but looks like carly!!!
I’m sure this little guy is a great monkey but it scared the heebie geebies out of me. I had to go look at a month’s worth of kittens on Daily Kitten to clear out my brain
Argh! I didn’t see this at night but first thing this morning. What a horrible way to start the day! Orangs are incredibly intelligent animals, but that doesn’t mean they’re not creepy as h*ll. I do not like them, Sam I Am.

Awww! I used to be a keeper at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and had the very great honor of helping to raise 2 orang babies. They are the BEST! Gorillas too, just melt your heart.
Francesk, I sure hope your nephew’s Momma doesn’t know your screen name. Thanks for the great guffaw!
I like babies of all species, but I am glad I didn’t see this until AFTER my morning coffee.
Hysterikals!! Personally I think this is cuter than an human bebeh pig-nosin’ it up against a window. Here’s to making window raspberries with the little feller!
He looks like – remember when we were kids, and we’d press our mouths to windows and blow out our cheeks, and our moms would yell and smack us in the head cause we smudged up her clean windows?
Hehehe, what a cute baby! Typical toddler, everything goes in the mouth/gets licked. Too funny.
And Brian, yeah, it’s exactly like that! I can just see his mom bein’ all “Dang it child! I just got done cleaning that window! It’s time out for you mister!”
Nope, that’s not Dumadi. Their orangutan habitat doesn’t have glass like that, but today was Dumadi’s first day out in the habitat and here’s a cute picture of him:
I love primates most of all, how happy am I to see this cute little guy causing a riot on CO! More baby rangatans please! Or cheemps! (I wanted to be Jane Goodall as a child…still kind of do)
“Gross”? “Scary”? What the hell? If he/she is scary then so are puppies, kittens and human babies! What an adorable little baby! Just a goofy playful child! Those big bright eyes are so precious!
D: What’s with all the terrifying pictures lately?! This isn’t cute! I’m sure he’d be slightly cuter if he wasn’t pulling that face, but come on, that’s just scary ;~;
Seconds later, the beast had latched its mouth-parts on to the photographer. Before they could even scream, their body had been sucked dry of all liquid. The creature, now distended by its prey’s juices, waddled off to its cave to rest… digest… and grow.

HAN: “Yeah, that’s what I thought. Mynock. Chewie, check the rest of the ship, make sure there aren’t any more attached. They’re chewing on the power cables.”
Yikes! That is a kinda scary baby zoo animal. I don’t know exactly why, but that is a disturbing picture. Shiver.
Why you gotta treat me so bad, C.O.? I am going to have nightmares about this little guy devouring my soul.
Isn’t that a scene out of 28 days later?
HE’s all I is hanging at the window wanting to eat your Bananas!
Please Let ME In.. Pretty Please!
Yeesh! I no like monkeys

Nightmares for weeks, Meg. Nightmares for weeks.

Oh My god that is really cute. I want to squeeeezee its ickle checks!!!! But if anyone has been watch Britian Next Top Model….. Its bit freaky but looks like carly!!!
Kids, eh? Tchuh!
The same everywhere… And still cute, even when playing up for the camera.
Wow… you’re really not kidding about the “haunt you in your dreams” part, huh?
…and I probably shouldn’t say this, but this picture *really* reminds me of my sister when she was little.
(here’s hoping she doesn’t read CO)
He is cute or she is cute either way I waas a laughing till my animals are like what is wrong with you again ?? which of course makes me laugh harder.
This is just horrible.
Nightmare-inducing horror.
Christ! I cannot even look at my monitor with this picture on it!!
Ahhhh!!! This little guy has one of the sweetest little faces I’ve ever seen. Makes my jaw hurt for want of snuggling with him…
I’m sure this little guy is a great monkey but it scared the heebie geebies out of me. I had to go look at a month’s worth of kittens on Daily Kitten to clear out my brain
What a cutie! He’s just making a face, playing with the keeper taking the photo. Is this Dumadi at Zoo Atlanta?
Uh, he looks like my nephew.
Poor kid.
Please, bring back the tick pictures, the dancing otters, make it go away.
*back to hiding in zombie free closet*
he also looks like my neighbour: “turn the freaking volume down!!!!)
There;s…….something….on the wing….
where’s shatner when we need him?!?!
hahahhaahhaha….so funny and not scary, people. He’s just a leetle baby.
AHH! AHH! AHHHHHHHhhhHHHHhhHH!
Argh! I didn’t see this at night but first thing this morning. What a horrible way to start the day! Orangs are incredibly intelligent animals, but that doesn’t mean they’re not creepy as h*ll. I do not like them, Sam I Am.
Emmy – excellent, but as you remember he was taken away for a long rest after that!
Absolute morning belly laugh. Awesome.
But does anyone else flash to Rob Thomas in your mind’s eye?
“It’s 3AM, I must be lonely…”
The fuzzy head and those…those…BIG TEETH get me every time I look at this! Too much!
I wouldn’t mind seeing that out my window every morning. Would start the day out right!
Creepy! not cute. not cute at all.

~Pratchett, “The Last Continent”
I’m absolutely offended. To the extreme.
IT’S THE ZOO HOW CAN ANIMALS BE SCARY THERE?!
Youz peoplez obviously have no concept whatsoever of CUTE CURIOSITY. He’s just a baby!
Does anyone else see Don Cheadle?
[squinting]
[...nope, pretty much just Rob Thomas - Ed.]
Awww! I used to be a keeper at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and had the very great honor of helping to raise 2 orang babies. They are the BEST! Gorillas too, just melt your heart.
Awwwwwwww. I loff heem! C’mere bebeh, I give you many smoos, dun lissen to the meanies who think you’re scary…
is he channelling munch’s “the scream”?
Nyah nyah! Too late! I had already gone to bed!
I am SO glad that I didn’t check this right before I went to bed…come on, I thought this was supposed to be CUTEoverload
Francesk, I sure hope your nephew’s Momma doesn’t know your screen name. Thanks for the great guffaw!
I like babies of all species, but I am glad I didn’t see this until AFTER my morning coffee.
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You’ll see it’s true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
OMG! This is just like a little kid!!! Hahahahaha, I am laughing my butt off.
I love how everyone’s first reaction was so different. Great post, Meg.
Deja Vu!

Really!
It’s like one of those trash mags “separated at birth” things. LMAO
Gag me. I really don’t like primates of any variety. Please publish more cute animals, so I can get the burn off my retinas.
..by primates, I mean the monkey variety (apes, gorillas, chimps), not humans! LOL Or lemurs. Lemurs are cute.
Hysterikals!! Personally I think this is cuter than an human bebeh pig-nosin’ it up against a window.
Here’s to making window raspberries with the little feller!
chelonianmobile–librarian shoutout!
*snort* Wow! Cute cause it’s a baby animal but TERRIFYING cause it’s the first thing I saw this morning when getting into work.
GRAAAAAH.
I so need to print this picture out and hang it near the entrance to my cube. It’s appropriate.
*smacks self on head*
Durh how could I not see the Librarian!
*goes off to punish self by re-reading all books featuring the Librarian*
Would that be an orang utongue?
The bebbeh-oran is thinking: “Has glass a flavr?”
Laughed my freaking arse off. Promptly emailed pic to as many people as I know.
That kid needs braces…..
and a great big hug!
Baby Librarians ….. too cute!
Gahahahaha!
The Librarian, Metz! Good one.
Ooook!
ewwwwwwww that is not cute, someone kill that thing PLEASE!
I iz not monkey. I iz ape. You can tell cuz all monkeys=cute, all apes=not cute (including humans)
NOT cute. ugly monkey.
I’m on your grass, lickin your glass!!!
How can ya’ll think that little guy is scary. Il est si adorable!
Methinks this needs another category tag. Fixing now…
actually the credit goes to chelonianmobile & Saranp
He looks like – remember when we were kids, and we’d press our mouths to windows and blow out our cheeks, and our moms would yell and smack us in the head cause we smudged up her clean windows?
Thats what he looks like he’s doin…
Hehehe, what a cute baby! Typical toddler, everything goes in the mouth/gets licked. Too funny.
And Brian, yeah, it’s exactly like that! I can just see his mom bein’ all “Dang it child! I just got done cleaning that window! It’s time out for you mister!”
Man you guys scare easy!
Aoife – respect.
that kids gunna need some braces.
oh emmm. That’s uncalled for.
Go ahead and think it isn’t cute, but don’t call for it’s death.
I’m so sad with some of the comments, he’s just a lil’ bebeh, I feel like giving him a big hug!!
Nope, that’s not Dumadi. Their orangutan habitat doesn’t have glass like that, but today was Dumadi’s first day out in the habitat and here’s a cute picture of him:

actually i must say i like the orange fluff.
Brian– that’s what I was going to say! You’re totally right!
Scary, definitely, but also cute. The real question is, is it cute in a scary sort of way, or scary in a cute sort of way? I vote the latter.
eeeew! this one’s for the gee-ross category please!
errr…. no thanks.
What? I like the kitties and puppies and duckies. Seeing the monkey waskinda weird.
My sister sent in this picture! I don’t understand why so many people are saying they’re scared of it, it’s absolutely adorable!!

Hey! Who put a mirror on the intarnetz?!
When I scrolled down to this, I laughed out loud.
My friend likes to say that orangutans are the trailer trash of the primate world. Just thought I’d put that out there.
preent peecture of bebeh tang-tang
tape to weendow
scare away burglars!
“Gross”? “Scary”? What the hell? If he/she is scary then so are puppies, kittens and human babies! What an adorable little baby! Just a goofy playful child! Those big bright eyes are so precious!
Another vote for cute here!!
How could anyone be scared of such a gorgeous bebeh? I want to give him a cuddle
Creepy CREEPY monkey!
Can we have more baby duckies purdy please?
Great he’s going to give me nightmares. NOT CUTE!
D: What’s with all the terrifying pictures lately?! This isn’t cute! I’m sure he’d be slightly cuter if he wasn’t pulling that face, but come on, that’s just scary ;~;
I am going to eat you!!!!!
Seconds later, the beast had latched its mouth-parts on to the photographer. Before they could even scream, their body had been sucked dry of all liquid. The creature, now distended by its prey’s juices, waddled off to its cave to rest… digest… and grow.
i love its almost hairless head!!! Its teeth are ugly but it what makes him cuuuuute!!
*****sigh
he’s got more hair… on his back… on his arms… than on his head.
i know it’s because he hasn’t grown into his orangu-body yet…
and he IS scary looking! I MEAN LOOK AT THOSE TEETH!!!! COOOOME ON~!!!!
All of you nuffs are nuts.
Absolutely nuts.
I’ve seen way more ugly human babies than this little guy. Sheesh.
He’s not scary, he’s playing with whoever’s got the camera!!!
E>
That doesn’t make him cute, he’s ugly and scary looking.
Monkey himself = way cute. The pose = scary.
