In Borneo, Indonesia, where palm oil plantations have destroyed nearly 40% of the jungles, a wild orangutan was quick to offer aid to a man who was wading through snake-infested waters. The touching encounter was captured by amateur photographer Anil Prabhakar.
According to AZFamily, Prabhakar was on a safari with friends at a conservation forest run by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS) when he witnessed the scene. The photo below shows one of the island’s critically endangered apes extending a hand to help a man out of unsafe water.
Prabhakar told CNN: “There was a report of snakes in that area so the warden came over and he’s clearing snakes.”
