This is Awesome: Orangutan Reaches Out Hand To Rescue Man Stuck In A River In Asia (Photos)

This is the heartwarming moment an orangutan tries to assist a man stuck in a river by offering its outstretched arm.

The great ape, who lives in a protected conservation forest area in Borneo, was seen leaning forward and lending a helping hand to the man who had been in the muddy river.

The striking images were taken by amateur photographer Anil Prabhakar, from Indonesia, who had been on a safari with his friends when he spotted the touching scene.
