  Beautiful animal, but sadly, in captivity.

  One can see his ribs and hip bones too clearly - he is either elderly with an eating problem or not fed well. Wouldn't surprise me if this was one deeply depressed animal.

  I hope that this is an archival shot and not one just done in an old technique. I really hate to think that there are zoos around which would still house animals in this manner. This old boy looks decidedly depressed.

  This photo would make an excellent addition to the Encyclopedia of Life. Please consider adding it to the EOL Images group. EOL needs images for all 1.8 million known species, so you are also invited to share any of your other good photos, too.
