An orangutan named Pitri, 7, puts his nose in an empty peanut wrapper as he
hunts for
food at a destroyed orangutan rehabilitation center, Thursday, Nov. 6, 2003,
in Bukit
Lawang, Sumatra, Indonesia. The tame orangutans, who depend on regular
feedings, have had
to fend for themselves since Sunday's flash flood destroyed their home. (AP
