While on a safari with a group of friends, photographer Anil Prabhakar witnessed the incredible gesture of good will from a member of the animal kingdom. A concerned orangutan from the island of Borneo reached out a helping hand to a man it saw wading through snake-infested waters. The extraordinary photos taken of the encounter attracted major media attention.
Prabhakar and his friends were at the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS) when a warden came over to help them clear the water of snakes that had been reported in the area.
