This gold horse may be the most beautiful horse that I have ever seen.

Take a look at this orang hutan offering his hand to the conservation officer. This backs my belief that one’s energy field can be sensed. Am I correct that this orang hutan felt this mans goodwill ? https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/07/asia/ora ... index.html

This orangutan saw a man wading in snake-infested water and decided to offer a helping hand

The orangutan held out its hand to the man, who was clearing snakes from a river as part of efforts to protect the endangered apes.

(CNN)The natural world never fails to surprise us, and this moving encounter between an orangutan and a man in Borneo has melted hearts all over the world.
Amateur photographer Anil Prabhakar captured the fleeting moment, in which one of the Indonesian island's critically endangered apes stretched out its hand to help a man out of snake-infested water

Prabhakar was on a safari with friends at a conservation forest run by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS) when he witnessed the scene.
He told CNN: "There was a report of snakes in that area so the warden came over and he's clearing snakes.


The great ape appeared to be trying to help the warden, who was standing in a muddy, flowing river.
"I saw an orangutan come very close to him and just offer him his hand."
Prabhakar said it was difficult for the guard to move in the muddy, flowing water. It seemed as if the orangutan was saying "May I help you"? to the man, he said.
"I really wasn't able to click," he said. "I never expected something like that.
"I just grabbed that moment. It was really emotional."

The conservation forest is maintained by Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, which protects the critically endangered species from hunters and habitat destruction until they can be returned to the wild.
Venomous snakes are predators of Borneo's orangutans, which are under threat from forest fires, habitat loss and hunting.
"You could say snakes are their biggest enemy," said Prabhakar, a geologist from Kerala in India.
The guard then moved away from the ape and climbed out of the water. When Prabhakar asked why he moved away, "He said, 'they're completely wild, we don't know how they'll react.'"
Prabhakar said the entire encounter lasted just three or four minutes. "I'm so happy that moment happened to me," he said.
His photo of the moment has been liked 15,000 times on Instagram.

The orangutan is Asia's only great ape and is found mostly in Borneo and Sumatra in Indonesia, with the remaining 10% found in Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia, according to the BOS foundation. It is estimated that the Bornean orangutan population has decreased by more than 80% within the past three generations.

The apes are brought to the conservation forest if they are injured, at risk from hunters or facing destruction of their habitats. Once they are healthy, they are returned to the wild.
They also reproduce very slowly, according to BOS. A female will only give birth every six to eight years in the wild.

These gorillas obviously have love, a good memory and loyalty among other good qualities. https://www.majesticanimals.net/man-reu ... YsOgSPzknc

I would have stayed a lot longer with him, what love was shown in that video.
Amazing animals, amazing kinship.

A mother and child gorilla were caught on camera in Rwanda dismantling poachers traps. According to this article only adult males had been known to do this. http://www.whitewolfpack.com/2012/07/yo ... khYB54&m=1

Animals are really amazing, and some people are also, and some animals are smelly just like a lot of people also.

I have to wonder if the dog at 1:20 has a hip injury, maybe that's why it was hopping like it was.

Lots of people take their pets with them in their car.

[Blue Frost]

LOL, not many though with animals that are as big as the car, and weigh as much as one.
I think the man is putting the animal in danger myself, and it's blocking his view also just for some attention is my guess.
The thing is defiantly impressive though.

How cool is this creature, looks like something out of a space movie, or something from Lovecraft.

It’s a kraken !

And it's blue
For an Octopus it's pretty distinguished looking, and smart looking.
I wonder what it is thinking about as it's getting it's picture took.

They are highly intelligent. Some believe that they may be aliens as they are so different a life form. They have brains in their tentacles as well as their main brain.

People don't realise they where here before we where, long before so we are alien.
