Pretty Primate Smiles like Mummy Postcard
Sorry, folks. I looked so hideous at the end of a long day in the rain forest that I had to smear my face and crop out my hair. Plus, this story isn't meant to be about me. I wanted to share with you this heart-touching moment. This little female orphan wanted a mummy, and she tried to copy everything humans did and clung (desperately, at times) to me, trying to claim me as hers. Shortly after I gave her a sip of my water, she turned and looked at me, then she turned back to the camera as she copied my smile -exactly. Our smiles match, but Krista, the orangutan, is the prettier of the two here!
Let me stress, however, Great Apes do not make good pets. It is no life for them in the long run either. As infants, people try to turn them into humans. But orangutans (and all apes) are tremedously strong. They are great athletes and need to live in the wild! As they become older (in other words-- destructive to human homes), many people resort to chaining them up or locking them in cages. It's a miserable life for such intelligent creatures.
Should you, for any reason, want to buy this postcard, it does benefit the orphan orangutans! I use 100% of my profits on this and all of my orangutan products to support the work of Orangutan Foundation International. Some people have asked how can I possibly afford to do this. First, don't forget that the price of an item is not the profit percentage that the artist receives. Secondly, supporting wildlife and raising awareness was the driving factor behind the creation of my gallery. Don't forget that the price that appears in the box to the left is for a package of cards. You can always purchase just one postcard, and the volume discount applies no matter which gallery or artist

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
