Five-year-old bride Melly (R) and seven-year-old groom Bima,
orangutans from Borneo, are married in a Javanese wedding ceremony at
Taman Safari in Pasuruan, East Java January 1, 2006. The pretend
wedding was held to help the pair produce an offspring. Wild
populations of orangutans are found only in the tropical forests on
the island of Borneo and Sumatra, and all populations are under severe
threat from habitat loss, illegal logging, fires and poaching.
