Oscar the orang-utan may look lovable, but his mother didn t seem to think so
Oscar the orang-utan may look lovable, but his mother didn t seem to think so. She rejected him when he was born. Happily however, eight-week-old Oscar gets on fine with his companion in the picture - keeper David Gange, who looks after him at Bristol Zoo.

Apes And Monkeys Zoo Keeper Expressions
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
