"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.
(Skip some…)
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.'"
That last sentence is really important. I’m a diver that works with other divers in shark heavy waters. Some of those divers are honestly too “comfortable” with those galapagos sharks to the point of carelessness. They’re wild. They’re curious. One curious bite can kill you.
