The Touching Moment When An Orangutan Reaches Out To Help A Warden “In Trouble”
There are many pictures that are worth a thousand words, and this heartwarming photo is absolutely one of them. Captured in a conservation forest area in Borneo – Asia’s largest island, the touching image shows us a beautiful moment when an orangutan lends a helping hand to a man "in trouble" standing in a small pond nearby.
Indonesian amateur photographer Anil Prabhakar was out trekking with his friends on the safari when he witnessed the primate’s soul-stirring kind act and captured the powerful moment just in time.
“Someone told him there was a snake in the river,” the photographer recalled. “The warden went there and cleared the bushes. An orangutan came to the banks and was watching what he was doing. He then came closer and gave his hand.”
“The warden just moved away,” Prabhakar continued. “I asked him why later and he said: “It’s a wild animal, not one we are familiar with.” But they are to protect them.”
Unfortunately, the orangutan is now considered critically endangered due to severe declines in populations and ranges.
