About This Design

Kusasi, Famous Orangutan King at Camp Leakey Card

Kusasi, Famous Orangutan King at Camp Leakey Card

The PBS television documentary special "From Orphan to King" tells the story of this very extraordinary orangutan, Kusasi. Sadly, after all of these years, the inevitable was looming at the time of this photo: the end of Kusasi's very lengthy reign. When I went to Camp Leakey with Dr. Birute Mary Galdikas in June 2008, Kusasi was badly injured by a challenger to the throne. As an adult, Kusasi has limped back to the area where Camp Leakey employees are stationed only when in need of medical help. The evening that I took this photograph, I gasped when I first saw him for I was stunned by his injuries. The pink area on his scalp is a wound, and there is a piece of his lower lip that is hanging as well. I offer this photograph as a piece of wildlife history and a tribute to this extraordinary orphan king. One of Birute Galdikas's books, Reflections of Eden, discusses Kusasi at length. The entire book is interesting! * * * * * * * UPDATE as of January 31, 2008: Kusasi is still alive, but he is avoiding the younger and now more dominant male. Update June 2010: Kusasi is still alive but rarely seen any more. There is a new King. <Update> Summer 2011: Kusasi has not been seen for some time. We believe he has died.

Folded Greeting Card, Size: Standard, 5" x 7", Paper: Signature Matte, Envelopes: White
I was searching high and low for an invitation that went with a fire theme (account my mom wants 70 real live burning candles on the cake) surprise birthday party. I found these and couldn’t buy them quick enough! They far exceeded my expectations! One word of caution is that they default to matte so if you want glossy finish you have to manually select it. I only changed where the 2 clip art pics were located to make space for the text. I even used the default font for the design. Comes with nice white envelopes that don’t need the upgrade. The feedback from the invitees has been amazing. Thanks Cathy for an amazing product!! *please note I redacted sensitive information on the pictures with black mark out. .

This was my first time ordering from Zazzle. I was not disappointed! The card was amazing. I personalized it and that made it even more special. The amazing quality of the card was definitely noticeable. And you really can’t complain about the prices. Perfect. Clear. Not too dark, not too light. Just like it looked online.
