The worker, clearing away snakes in a bid to protect the Orangutans got interrupted by the inquisitive ape but declined the Orangutan’s hand.
‘Someone told him there were snakes in the river. The worker went in there to clear out the bushes. An orangutan came to the banks, watching what he was doing. After this, he came closer and lend his hand. The worker moved away. When I asked him why, he responded: ‘It’s a wild animal, not any we are familiar with.’ Mr. Prabhaker explained.
