"A kiss is just a kiss," to quote a song. But this moment, captured by D. Rogers at the Brookfield Zoo is one of a kind.

This baby Bornean orangutan was born late in 2008 and was one of only two born in the United States that year. More pictures below the fold.

    Read somewhere that kissing between mother and child are actually quite common among primates and some other mammals.

    I do not believe that humans evolved from the ape family. If we had, we would be living in peace like the Orangs do! Just look at those faces above and you can see love trust. I wanted to say something about these pictures, but the earlier posters used all the good words like; best, ctest, wonderful, beyond cute, joy, adorable, etc

    God took just as much care when he made the Apes as when he made Adam and Eve but the Apes were not made in His image and cannot know Him in the way we can through His Son Jesus Christ.
