Just Grab My Hand!

An orangutan would think that humans, having evolved from apes over millions of years, would finally be able to look after themselves. According to “One Kind Planet,” there’s enough reason to believe that orangutans have some empathy, which explains why this one wants to offer help.

Regardless, given their love for mimicry, it might just mock the human once he’s out of the water. Who knows if that’s the reason behind the man’s reluctance to accept help? The truth is, he is a geologist in Indonesia who is in the water to get rid of venomous reptiles that bite primates. So, in reality, the human is actually helping out the ape.
