After seeing his caretaker nurse three orphaned tiger cubs, this reaction by a male orangutan is both shocking and heartwarming.
Taking inspiration from the caretaker, the male orangutan has taken to cuddling with the three babies and feeding them from a bottle, and could be said to have adopted them himself.
The preserve has this to say about the unusual relationship, ‘Orangutans spend a lot of time with their human caregivers, sometimes when they are nursing tiger cubs.’ (h/t: Daily Mail)
