Orangutan Peacefully Watches Mother and Her Baby


Occurred on January 9, 2020 / Vienna, Austria

Info from Licensor: "I visited Schoenbrunn Zoo in Vienna whilst on a mini break with my partner and son. We nipped in to see the orangutans at the end of the day. I went to the window for a closer look and sat down by the window so my son could see the orangutan, who was roughly 5/6ft away. She then got up, carried a piece of cloth to the window, and sat down with me. She looked directly into my eyes, then placed her hand up as if to touch my son. My son wanted feeding and as it was quiet, I fed him whilst I sat there, she kept looking at me, then my son then back again. She sat with me for approximately half an hour, and kept stroking the glass and lied down next to me as if to support and protect me."
