This infant orangutan was only a few days old when I took this shot. The mother was extremely gentle and attentive with the way she carried it around in a very human way. The baby seems almost defenseless and sick in this photo, but a few minutes later it was crawling around in the mother’s lap and breastfeeding.

Mr. Crane – I love this photo and am a part time art student. I humbly ask permission to paint these beautiful creatures in oil.
I really have no words to express my feelings watching Mother’s love. long live mothers.
