Before the age of two, baby orangutans are entirely dependent on their mothers, often clinging to them tightly. In the wild, baby orangutans hold onto their mothers while occasionally using their backs as climbing frames, climbing up and down, tugging at their exhausted mothers. It is only at the age of four that they begin to interact with other orangutans, but they continue to rely on their mothers.
Photographer Manoj Kumar Tuteja expressed his gratitude for capturing this heartwarming moment. He stated: “My love for nature inspires me to take photographs and gives me the opportunity to get closer to nature. I do not want a day to come when our children will tell their descendants, ‘There used to be animals called tigers and orangutans in the world.’ We need to protect and save nature.”
