Due to the fact that a total of half the mentioned famous nature documentary personalities, including Steve Irwin, are dead, I removed this special mention of him as "late" ("[...]and the late Steve Irwin") Tutorp 21:54, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking for help identifying a documentary I saw as a child

I just asked this question at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Miscellaneous, but I hope you will not mind if I post it here (and also at maybe another page or two) since you would be the most knowledgeable editors on the question.

I am looking for help identifying a nature documentary I saw when I was a child (mid-'90s). It follows the communal life of a particular group of orangutans in the wild.

Unfortunately, I can only remember one scene -- but if you saw it, you too would never forget it:

One of the orangutans is an infant, and he is being raised by his mother or perhaps his aunt. She carries him around piggy-back style, like most orangutans do. But the weird thing is, he never outgrows this, even as he grows into a large adolescent. He never permits her to put him down -- in fact, now he can force her to carry him. Then she gets polio. Carrying him saps her of her strength, and she dies. Without her, he too dies.

Thank you for your help. 160.39.220.66 (talk) 08:53, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
