This is the touching moment an orangutan mother helped her baby crossing a rope line hung at a great height.<br /><br />The footage, captured on August 23 at Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, shows a baby orangutan coyly walking on a rope line followed by his mother.<br /><br />After a moving a few inches the little one seems a bit doubtful about crossing the line on its own and decides to hitch a ride on his mum’s back.<br /><br />The mother happily takes him to the other side of the rope.<br /><br />The filmer writes: ''We saw how close he is to crossing the O-Line on his own. <br /><br />''The Line allows the zoo's orangutans to cross from Great Ape House to Think Tank as they wish and Redd will be joining them very soon. <br /><br />''For now, his mom Batang, is there to keep him safe high above the ground.''
