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.
In the magic kingdom Disney's pen he did draw
A slightly dozy tiger and a bear named winnie the poo
The Lion king and Simba who brought joy to all who saw .
Dumbo and his big ears amazed the world and flew.
and king Louie in the jungle, who wants to be like you.
and a kung fu fighting panda and a dragon warrior to boot.
the only downside is that thanks to you and me, theres only.
Tigers are nearly toast 3,200 left
20,000 lions roaming free
Asian elephant 35,000 not a big number as you can see
Sumatran orangutan 14,600 nice going cousins nearly wiped me out
Panda 1,964 that pretty black and white
If your another species beware the human race.
