Picture Of Orangutan ‘Helping’ Forest Warden In Snake-Filled River Proves Animals Are Too Pure
Recently, an orangutan's heartwarming gesture towards a forest warden won everyone's heart and it was just great that someone was able to capture it, so we can now see the incredible moment.
Just look at it!
So, here goes the story behind this.
This took place in a conservation forest area in Borneo, where endangered species are protected from getting hunted. The photographer of the picture, Anil Prabhakar, was just trekking with his friends while out on a safari when he saw this unusual incident.
Basically, the man in the picture is a part of a non-profit organisation called the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation and was actually in the water to clear away snakes from it as they pose a threat to orangutans.
The interesting part, though, is that he apparently refused the helping hand since it was, at the end of the day, a wild animal, no matter how sweet the action was. Fair enough.
Anil said, "Someone told him there was a snake in the river. 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. 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."
People are obviously applauding the orangutan's thoughtful gesture and also are in awe of how the great moment was captured.
Not us.
They are the best.
Hmm.
Yep.
