EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from June 1971, we are introduced to Oscar the orangutan, a seemingly lovable creature. However, his story takes an unexpected turn as we learn that his own mother rejected him at birth. Despite this heartbreaking beginning, eight-week-old Oscar has found solace and companionship in zookeeper David Gange. The image captures a beautiful moment of friendship between Oscar and David. As they stand side by side, their connection is evident through their expressions. While Oscar's sad past may have left its mark on him, he finds comfort and care in the presence of his dedicated caregiver. This photograph serves as a reminder of the resilience and capacity for love that exists within animals. It showcases the unique bond formed between humans and creatures like Oscar who rely on our support for survival. Taken by Mirrorpix during a time when zoos played an important role in conservation efforts, this image highlights not only the adorable nature of apes but also sheds light on the vital work carried out by zookeepers like David Gange. As we gaze upon this touching scene frozen in time, let us appreciate the power of compassion and understanding that can transcend species boundaries.
