A burned woman showed an orangutan her burns, the orangutan's reaction melted hearts all over the world

Orangutans are highly intelligent animals and can read people almost as well as we can.

It is so sad that humans almost exterminated this amazing animal - if only we could make people understand the value of this species and other animals the world would be a better place.

When Rocky the orangutan, who lives at the Indianapolis Zoo, came into contact with a woman who had suffered severe burns, he showed exactly why these animals deserve much more respect than they get.

In 2015, Darcy Miller had an accident and suffered severe burns.

Over the years, she underwent many surgeries designed to help her heal, inside and out.

Despite all this, Darcy's life has been an emotional rollercoaster, and the trauma she's been through has left its mark.

Getting up early in the morning and going out into the fresh air is a must for Darcy, otherwise she could easily stay at home and find herself in a very dark corner.

One day, Darcy and her friend visited the zoo in Indiana.

The zoo is home to the largest herds of orangutans in the United States. Of course, zoos are not an ideal place for animals - but the orangutan center in this zoo is an important place where the endangered species is studied, researched and preserved.

One of the orangutans living in the zoo is 9-year-old Rocky, who is known for his ability to imitate human voices.

Darcy didn't know what to expect that day, but her encounter with Rocky changed her life forever.

When Darcy came face to face with the orangutan, it was clear that Rocky was extremely curious about the bandages that covered her shoulders and neck.

Here things took an interesting turn. Rocky began to point out Darcy's burns, just like a human would.

At first Darcy hesitated. Does the orangutan really understand that there is something painful under the bandages? But Rocky was stubborn and seemed to really want to see what was underneath..

Darcy slowly removed the bandage and showed Rocky her scars.

And Rocky's reaction is proof that animals understand much more than we think!
