Right then. Let's review. This is an orangutan:

And this is a fox squirrel:

Now, class, tell me what differences between the two you can spot.

(As a side note, this is a decent example of why I'm skeptical of "eyewitness" testimony.)

(As another side note, I'd laugh like hell if this turned out to be an orang, natch.)
