Jakarta: A picture of an orang utan seemingly offering a helping hand to a man in a pond received a warm reception globally from social media users after a geologist, Anil Prabhakar, posted the picture on his Instagram account.

“Let me help you? Once humanity dies in mankind, sometimes animals are guiding us back to our basics,” Anil wrote in his account.
