@nugget A baby orangutan had the internet laughing after appearing to get a little self-conscious when a caretaker pointed at its round belly. The moment comes from the kind of close interaction common at orangutan rehabilitation centers, where young orphans are cared for by human “babysitters” while learning skills like climbing and foraging. While the orangutan’s expression may look embarrassed to us, it’s easy to project human emotions onto their facial expressions. Either way, the little look away made the moment even better.
