Saved from the clutches of poachers, this handsome hulk is on the mend — and appears serenely grateful for the assistance.
According to the UK's Daily Mail, the 14-year-old orangutan had metal pellets removed from his body at the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme centre on Wednesday.
With an expression that looks downright Disneyesque, the great beast leans back patiently on the doctor's bench while someone tends to his wounds.

The orangutan was rescued earlier in the week, NBC News reports.
