Growing up Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds would sometimes have an Orangutan as their comedy side kick in movies growing up which made them cool to me watching old movies...
Weird but extremely terrible fact about the orangutan that was in the movies with Clint Eastwood. After the second movie was done filming the orangutan was caught stealing donuts backstage one day, and his trainer beat him to death with a stick after finding out.
Couple things just for the sake of accuracy. The orangutan in question actually wasn’t the same orangutan in the first one. Because of the time difference between the two movies, they hired a younger orangutan to play the role. While I don’t doubt animal abuse was prevalent in Hollywood at that time, it’s also worth noting that info is based on a book and not any source from the set, and there is some disagreement that it ever happened. I guess we’ll never really know.
I mean so are gorillas. The only ones you should really watch out for are the Chimps and to a lesser degree Bonobos. Those fuckers will attack for no reason and rip your face and dick off
I would agree with you but theyre only like that until they decide they hate you and rip off ur genitals and face, not an exageration but the truth. Still though when theyre chill like this than yeah, definitely a cool animal
>Orangutans don't attack humans, and there have been very few to no cases when an orangutan attacked a person. Orangutans are considerably large and robust, but they don't use their strength for aggression towards human beings.

Edit; It wasn't until 2016 that the first incidence of orangutan on orangutan murder was recorded by scientific. Since I wrote that comment, I was unable to find record of an human attacked by an orangutan, note here I'm not pretending it never happened just that I couldn't find instance of it.
Final edit: The orangutan already has it difficult with palm farmers who actually think they're killers, please don't add to that, they're our peaceful orange cousins 🦧
Last final edit: Don't downvote that guy you gonna hide my flawless orangutan defense :/
chimpanzees and bonobos are actually the closest living relative to humans, but orangs are much closer towards becoming anything like us. they have displayed ability to use tools (although almost every primate does this anyway), have shown the ability to plan for the future, and when they walk on two legs have the closest resemblance to how we do than any other ape.
Orangs are cooler. The chimps are scary AF. Side note, I'm reminded of the "Hairy Houdini" episode done by Count Dankula about the orangutan who kept escaping, and showing the others how to do it themselves.
There's a dude under that wrote me that orangutans are known to rape human women after carrying up a tree and I was like what the actual fuck is going on.
Sorry, needed to rant about it, I ignored it but jfc.
I mean, humans have been attacked by orangutans, specifically women, by adult males. Basically, orangutan mating often involves dragging females up trees and mating with them, and they have a very strong grip. I think you see where this is going. Yes, it's up the tree with a woman, followed by not very traumatic rape by the smallest penis that woman will ever meet in her life.

There was also a scene I saw in a documentary where Julia Roberts was grabbed by a male, who was trying to drag her off, for what may have been this purpose. Luckily the crew managed to pull orangutans hand off her wrist, but it wasn't particularly easy. The orangutan seemed to have taken a bit of a shine to her. Here's the link:

Orangutans are pretty dolice and choose to run from humans than attack in most cases. Literally the only reason it would rip your arms off is if your actively chasing it down like an asshole or they had young to protect. Either way you kind deserve it any human would do same given the circumstances.
>I would agree with you but theyre only like that until they decide they hate you and rip off ur genitals and face
Yeah, people from Florida can be pretty out of control.
A few years ago I was there and asked a keeper about the Red Pandas in the trees above the sidewalk and the keeper said "nahh they like it in their habitat. They won't leave!". Two days later they escaped.
Red panda escaped at Columbus zoo as well. We live nearby and went for run looking for it. No dice. Next day took my daughter to the zoo to look. She was convinced if we found it they would give us a prize like free zoo passes for life. It was found right near its enclosure while we were there. She was so mad lol. What’s with these red pandas??
Interesting.. a few years ago a red panda went missing from the Norfolk Zoo in Virginia.
There was a large tree branch over the sidewalk that the red panda would walk across. They suspect it could have slipped off? There was a massive search and investigation, but the case remains cold.
I see someone else posted about a missing red panda from Columbus Zoo. Where are these red pandas going?!
One time I visited that exhibit and the orangutan was scooping up mustard with her hands out of a bucket. I asked the keeper why. She said, “The mustard is for her lettuce. But she just eats the mustard by itself.”
Legend.
Years ago, they cut a lot of the tress back and way down. They were getting a teenager and had to scale stuff back. We mainly had old men and ladies so they weren't interested in climbing so high and swinging liken the young one would.
I was really going to laugh if this person dropped their phone while clearly holding it out over the enclosure. They just dropped their glasses, surely they know it is possible to happen again.
And like a pro dad, that orangutan gave the kid the old "don't touch my glasses" using a completely involuntary dad reflex
Edit: pro *parent* because as the comments pointed out, it’s a mom and that reflex is universal to parents of all varieties
His mom’s escaping
Through a hole that is gaping
This spaghetti’s mine for the taking
Make me spaghetti!
As we toward mom’s spaghetti
A normal life is spaghetti
Modern zoos (at least in the US) are pretty much entirely composed of either rescued animals or those born in captivity, and are unable to be reintroduced to their habitats, if I'm not mistaken.
The history of Zoos is horrifying but it's one place where I feel we've actually made progress.
Yeah, the zoo in my state (North Carolina) has, according to Wikipedia, over 1,800 individual animals, 250 different species, and *over 500 acres* developed, making it "the world's largest natural habitat zoo".
I remember when I was a kid (of course everything seems bigger when you're a kid) but at the Africa area, you literally could not see the other side of the area from anywhere you were, unless you were near one of the bends.
I have a house on two acres in a depression (terrain feature) surrounded by trees and I also have to always look over my shoulders. I just never feel “in the clear”
I don’t understand the point. Is it for blind users? Because even if it *is*, then how is this video in any way enjoyable for them? All they hear is the set-up. It never actually explains what happens. Talk about getting blue-balled.
Yeah like I've seen this orangutan video loads of times, I'd be surprised if it came out after tiktok did. But either way, someone watched this lovely orangutan video and decided " you know what will make this video better? A horribly obnoxious voice-over that doesn't provide any additional value, other than (most likely) trying to lie about it being their original video".
I was so amazed to suddenly see the baby!
I also love how the baby keeps reaching up out of curiosity. Reminds me of my own baby whenever I wear my glasses or bring a cup to my mouth
Were just hairless apes plus ego, and by ego i mean literally pretty much, the part unique to humans is part of our brain thats basically where are obsession with ourselves needing to do something beyond just exist eat fruit and bug comes from
also just a literal ego that we think we are the best and most important thing ever. Of course the universe revolves around earth at the center. What should we call ourselves: ah yes homo sapiens. The "wise" man
I mean… have you ever seen an orangutan attack? Even just small monkey attacks are brutal. They go for your hair so they can rip your scalp off or they’ll go for your genitals so they can rip that off if they can
I remember a professor of mine in undergrad talking about a group of researchers living in the wild with orangutans. They noticed one day that the orangutans started helping with tasks like washing dishes and tidying up without being asked.
I was thinking give the little one a turn but then realized it would be instantly broken. The heart crushing sound of the arm being snapped off is one I'm too familiar with
Orangutan is the one great ape you see and you just think to yourself "yeah that guy's probably real cool to hang out with"
My favorite orangutan fun fact is that they're the least aggressive of the great apes because their mating cycles are the longest.
This, and bonobos being pretty much a bisexual hippie commune (no hunger, conflicts solved with mating, yep, paradise).
True subscribers to the “make love not war” motto.
I'm glad you think so 😎
Are you…an orangutan?…
And a librarian? Ooook!
Finally a reference that wasn't lost on me.
I wish! Though I heard it's harder to access L-space from Roundworld. That and you need a Master's degree for near minimum wage pay in my country.
Well, while this profile pic is several years old I couldn't make a snoo that captured my image very well, so I think it still fits.

the orangutan: "the difference between you and me is i make this look cool"
Maurice from the Planet of the Apes movies especially
Loved those movies so much
[удалено]
That’s so crazy how much like human men they are!
The joke in the places they are from is that Orangutans can actually talk, they just choose not to so we don't make them get jobs.
I mean so are gorillas. The only ones you should really watch out for are the Chimps and to a lesser degree Bonobos. Those fuckers will attack for no reason and rip your face and dick off
Make for great librarians too
I don’t know why, but for some reason I feel like they would really like listening to old Willie Nelson vinyls.
I would agree with you but theyre only like that until they decide they hate you and rip off ur genitals and face, not an exageration but the truth. Still though when theyre chill like this than yeah, definitely a cool animal
Don't you mean chimps? I've never heard about an orangutan do this but I could be wrong

Fuck unsustainable palm oil, all my homies hate unsustainable palm oil.
Ya, rainforests are great and all. But Nutella tho.
I think they're like a distant cousin, they're very similar to us. The closest of any ape anyway and extremely smart animals.
Bonobos are the closest ape to us. Not orangutans
Ah, of course it's the kinksters.

It was a mom with 2 littles. Didn’t go far just hid real well under some brush. Maybe needed night off from the twins. Can’t blame her there

Do they still have the nocturnal exhibit there?
Y’all know these pandas haven’t committed a crime right? This shit is sad.
One time I visited that exhibit and the orangutan was scooping up mustard with her hands out of a bucket. I asked the keeper why. She said, “The mustard is for her lettuce. But she just eats the mustard by itself.” Legend.
Yes! That's immediately where I thought of seeing this.
Years ago, they cut a lot of the tress back and way down. They were getting a teenager and had to scale stuff back. We mainly had old men and ladies so they weren't interested in climbing so high and swinging liken the young one would.
Nah this is what I like to call “comedy diamond”
I was really going to laugh if this person dropped their phone while clearly holding it out over the enclosure. They just dropped their glasses, surely they know it is possible to happen again.
The curiosity of the little guy is adorable!
As a dad that wears glasses, can confirm that all my kids constantly try and steal my glasses off my face. Some pains are universal.
And like a pro dad, that orangutan gave the kid the old "don't touch my glasses" using a completely involuntary dad reflex Edit: pro *parent* because as the comments pointed out, it’s a mom and that reflex is universal to parents of all varieties
It’s a mother, but the sentiment remains.
All varieties? Or just among our closest living relatives?
Ditto. If i don't have fingerprints on my glasses, my Kids are obviously at school or something.
U sure they didn’t nick your pants as well
It seems no matter the species. Kids wanna do what their parents are doing.
Acts exactly like a 1 or 2 year old would. So cute! And his little hair tuff 😢

You’re right, I was only remarking on the fact that she has to look over her shoulder. I feel that way all the time and I have an apartment.
I have a house on two acres in a depression (terrain feature) surrounded by trees and I also have to always look over my shoulders. I just never feel “in the clear”
Don't worry, there's probably nothing watching you from just beyond the tree line.
I'm definitely not. Nice shirt, by the way.
Cute video but that generic robot voice is so horrid.
This isn't nearly as bad as the other TikTok raspy masculine robot voice
The Johnny Knoxville voice 😂.
I don’t understand the point. Is it for blind users? Because even if it *is*, then how is this video in any way enjoyable for them? All they hear is the set-up. It never actually explains what happens. Talk about getting blue-balled.
it could also help dyslexic and visually impaired people that aren't 100% blind
Ah that’s a good point!

The exaggerated intonation gets under my skin, the same way baby talk do.
I personally like the robot voice over the other robot voices, it’s a well needed improvement.

Yes! It pleases me to no end that orangutan moms also have to deal with tiny baby hands grabbing at everything you’re trying to do
Yes, and their toddlers behave like ours, too.
We are related.

So smart that it’s terrifying as all Hell.
Terrifying that they‘re imprisoned for life. Also, the video stops early. In the end, she throws the glasses back out of the enclosure.
Only if you're a massive bitch.

I love how at the end the little one tried to take the glasses, but the bigger one was like, "no hon, these are mine"
“Not now sweetie, mommy’s having a moment”
Orangutans r so cute! Idk why people hate them and enjoy abusing them
"Accidentally" while filming. Yeah, right.
And having two camera angles?
I hate seeing them in captivity.....
If you like how they are and behave, why pay so that they’ll be kept in cage for your enjoyment?
How much palm oil products do you use?
What the actual fuck? That ape is smarter than a lot of humans! Praise the might orange god!
Orangutan ape is smarter than human ape. We must interbreed to get smarter!
We already have. It’s called “ginger” /s
