Orangutan mamas and their little ones have one of the strongest bonds in nature. Babies depend on their mothers for two years and they stay together as a family for up to eight. Once they “move out” the pre-teens still visit mom — sometimes for another seven years! The average lifespan of an orangutan is 35-45 years. . . . . . #animalsofinstagram #animalplanet#animalfacts #wildlife #elephant #mom#mothersday #momsofig #joyfulmamas#motherhoodrising #momitforward#littlefierceones #mynameismama#dailyparenting
