Budi the baby orangutan, who's limbs were swollen from malnutrition, is starting to take a step in the right direction - literally.

Due to being fed condensed milk during the first 10 months of his life, Budi was unable to move without being in excruciating pain, reported One Green Planet.

Since then, Budi came under the care of the International Animal Rescue's Orangutan Care Center and is finally starting to take his first steps. By moving on his own, he will regain the strength all orangutans need to climb trees in the wild.

Watch Budi's first steps, with the help of his devoted caretakers, here:
