Oscar the orang-utan may look lovable, but his mother didn t seem to think so

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from June 1971, we see Oscar the orangutan, a seemingly lovable creature. However, his own mother didn't share the same sentiment and rejected him when he was born. Despite this heartbreaking start to life, eight-week-old Oscar has found solace in an unexpected companion - keeper David Gange at Bristol Zoo. Captured in this image is a beautiful display of friendship between man and animal. As David looks after Oscar with utmost care and affection, their bond becomes evident through their expressions. The picture showcases not only the adorable connection between them but also highlights the resilience of these incredible creatures. Oscar's story reminds us that love can be found in unexpected places. While his mother may have turned her back on him, fate brought him together with someone who cherishes and cares for him deeply. It serves as a reminder that sometimes family isn't defined by blood but rather by those who choose to stand beside us during our darkest moments. This photograph captures a touching moment frozen in time - one that speaks volumes about compassion, resilience, and the power of human-animal relationships. It serves as a testament to both Oscar's strength and David's dedication as they navigate life together within the walls of Bristol Zoo.
