It's odd. I don't find the tiger-orang photos cute. I find them much more moving than that. I can't really explain without starting to anthropomorphize, but... there's something there for me.
I'm a sap.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

The tiger is LICKING the orang's head
Tasting!
I adore interspecies affection--not like that, you pervs!--it's like when my cat has wrapped his legs around my arm and is looking up me with all appearances of contentment and love, and I wonder, "He has to know I'm not a cat, why does he love me so much?"
Off to be sniffly.

The picture that strikes me the most is the one where the orang is helping to hold the bottle, as the zoo keeper is feeing the tiger. Gah.

Man tries to cash a check from God. (Chicago Tribune reg. req'd.)
The 21-year-old man was arrested Monday after he tried to cash a check for $50,000 at the Chase Bank in Hobart that was signed "King Savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Servant," Hobart police Detective Jeff White said...
"I've heard about God giving out eternal life, but this is the first time I've heard of him giving out cash," White said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder when (okay, maybe if) the tigers will realise that the orangutan has other uses.
