This beautiful portrait was captured at a rehabilitation center situated in Eastern Borneo. It shows an interaction between the gorgeous mammal and a Orangutan Survival Foundation staff.

Just to let you know, the man was not in danger. Oh, how so innocent and pure these beautiful animals are!

It appears that a staff who works at the rehabilitation center had to get down and dirty to do his job. He’s seen in a swamp holding a tool facing the mammal. The orangutan on the other hand, knelt down and leaned over with its hand reaching out, indicating wanting to pull the man out of the mud.
