Toddler strikes up friendship with baby orangutan

A child and a lonely orangutan have struck up an unlikely friendship.

Two-year-old Emily Bland met her new friend when her dad took her to The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species in Miami, Florida.



Rishi the orangutan was born at the Jungle Island animal sanctuary in Miami just over a year ago, but he was rejected by the males in his group.
