Orangutan mothers form the longest mother-child bond of any animal on Earth besides humans, raising their offspring for 9 years by building new nests nightly, teaching over 200 survival skills including which fruits to eat, which leaves heal wounds, and which trees to avoid, and refusing to have another child until their first is fully grown before watching them climb away into the canopy.
