Born to be Wild


I just watched this documentary that was just so adorable, I wanted to melt into a big puddle. I was in love the whole time I was watching the documentary.

The documentary was about orphanages that helped orangutans and African elephants back into the wild. There were these amazing women that dedicated their whole lives into saving these amazing animals, and eventually putting them back into the wild.

I recently fell in love with apes because I am currently taking an anthropology class. I love seeing those cute little orangutan climb all over their keeper's back. They would copy what their keepers did. The orangutans would lather themselves with soap, (While eating it. Haha.) and bathe themselves. It was so adorable that I want to run straight to Borneo and hug them all.

Elephants make extremely happy, so seeing a bunch of baby ones made me extremely jealous of their keepers. I want to be those keepers that nurture them, and send them back into the wild. The keepers would sleep with the elephants until they were older because elephants in the wild would spend all their time with their mother.

Watching this documentary made me want to cuddle animals all day. I'm just so in love that I feel the urge to travel to Africa and Borneo right this second.
