At work my colleague keeps saying how she’s getting strong as an ox, because of not eating certain things. It’s a sentence we love to use now and then to get ready for the day and comment on each other’s performance. Oxen can be strong, but every time I see this picture of an orangutan I saw swinging through the trees in Borneo, I think of how strong he is. This ape looks like Tarzan, making his way through the jungle. I love how you can see the speed and the wind in his hair, and the strength, the muscles, with his chest sticking out. I feel weak in comparison.
