***EXCLUSIVE, SPECIAL FEES** MIAMI. USA: Two year old Emily Bland plays with her friend, one year old orangutan, Rishi, at the The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (T.I.G.E.R.S), in Miami, Florida. Born at the Jungle Island animal sanctuary in Miami just over a year ago, Rishi was rejected by the males in his group and brought to the T.I.G.E.R.S institute to be integrated into a new family. When photographer Barry Bland heard about this story he went to take photos of Rishi, bringing his daughter Emily with him. When Emily and Rishi met they immediately struck up an unlikely friendship.

Utterly gorgeous and adorable images, Mitch. I had no idea that baby alligators were so tiny. Thank you for sharing them. X
My pleasure, Ellie.
Very…cute!
If you’d written fifty definitions of “cute”, I’d be feeling pretty threatened right now…
Enjoyed the photos, though…
;>)
Anonymous is me.
Aha!
Definitely the definition of cute – all of them.

The baby elephant under the waterfall, the toddler crawling in sync with the orangutang, and the dog next to the washing machine with the stuffed dog pressed against its window are wonderful images of cute-as are the others! Thanks, Mitch! 🙂
My pleasure, Nancy!
I have told friends and family that I don’t have a ‘cute’ meter. The definition for cute is so broad and arbitrary for me to really definitively say what IS cute. I have to trust other’s judgements. Your photos help me define it a bit. But send me a kitten gif and I will be scratching my head again, undoubtedly. 😁
So many really cute images!
