Maximillian the Sumatran Orangutan
Maximillian was the largest Sumatran orangutan we ever met.
He was gentle unless you were an enemy, then he would stomp and fret.
His three hundred pounds made an impressive sight in the jungle wild.
He often threw a baby fit reminiscent of a two or three-year-old child.
He lived to be thirty-seven, which is a record for orangutans they say.
He had a great life and liked giving the eye to animals far away.
Mama taught him to laugh and dance, but he was a one-trick boy.
Designing orangutan huts for his friends was his biggest joy.
