This is a great story of true friendship. A young girl and an ape became close friends. Emily Bland taught the orang-utan named Rishi how to pour tea and take strolls together. This all happened at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) in Florida when both friends were still at the crawling stage. Still the story isn’t over… |
Two years later Emily met Rishi again, and the two friends found new ways how to have fun!
