No doubt about it. Orangutans are flexible. Even the wee ones.
And though they are stronger than humans (especially in their arms), they are not invincible.

Check out the cheek pads on this Bornean orangutan.
Pretty intimidating, no? But not all orangutans are this serious. These residents of the Rio Zoo enjoyed a Christmas basket of fruit.
Did I mention they like fruit?
