Watch a video of some gibbons. They are incredibly agile and their foot-hands looks amazingly useful. It's interesting that we lost our feet-hands, but we started walking and running. They would be very useful if we're still had them though. Imagine if we had four arms though with equally dexterous hands and digits. We would be very industrious and skilled. A chimera could technically be engineered as such. But more likely, imagine if we could wear a suit that has two extra mechanical limbs controlled by our minds through a BCI (brain-computer interface). If the control became mastered to a similar level as our own limbs, we'd really be capable.

[@TheDanagames]

Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, yet no one likes to talk about it. Why? Because the only way to combat it is by going vegan (as i have since more then half a year ago). Vegan diet are sustainable throughout all stages of life. The only reason we eat meat is for pleasure. Makes us no morally different than rapists. Killing, raping and abusing animal for an 5 minute meal. And to create that piece of meat, you use tons of water and food. All that has to come from somewhere, and its usually the amazon. 92% of soy goes to animala agriculture. So having said this, people whine about these animals losing their home, yet they are the sole reason that it is happening. You either stop paying for animal products and make THE biggest contribution you can to save these animals, or you make excuses.

[@andywilliam367]

@@TheDanagames I totally agree 💯. I once a vegan before I came to US because meat is cheap. But it took me a week to get used to eat meat. I threw up couple time if you already vegan for long time. Since then, I started getting lot of health problem. Vegan is way to go for healthy died, no doubt about it.

What she learned from spy Orangutan is that sawing is not about breaking the wood into two pieces. Its about the joy in moving a piece of saw blade on the wood back and forth to create notches.... The orangutan is so intelligent that she has move past the physical accomplishment of getting two pieces of wood, and onto the meta physical enlightenment in finding joy during the journey itself.

5:30 buddy never thought "There's something wrong with that guy, he's creepy..." 😂

[@johncost3864]

3:05 literally the cutest thing I’ve seen in my entire life. And I work at a vet/ teach special Ed to disabled children/ all while leading Sunday school to first graders. So I’ve seen a lot of cuteness in my time. 3:05 tops it all!

It reminds me of when a kid puts their right shoe on their left foot and it looks all weird & probably hurts their foot but they don't realize it's wrong 😂

[@juliencharnay7479]

thank you so much BBC earth for all your incredible work on documenting wildlife

[@a5noble2]

Orangutans have access to the Tool Use ability and a high intelligence stat which puts them at one of the top tier builds for the jungle servers. I'd highly recommend this class to new players.

[@spelaeologus]

This has to be one the coolest jobs in the world -- makes me wish I'd known more about Orangutan Wildlife Refuges growing up.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Orang's are subtly smart and patient... there known as the lock picking apes in zoo's. They look shambolic but they are incredibly powerful and deliberate in the tree canopy.. They watch and they learn and they can pass that on to others..😎

zoos

[@SamuelBlack84]

No wonder Planet of the Apes portrayed them as intellectuals

[@petergray9870]

For the first time I hear a native English speaker pronounce Orangutan correctly. Salute you David Attenborough...

[@ksajak]

She actually put the saw back in where she was already cutting That's awesome!

[@ToddBlackburn-qj9mb]

these moments (part 1) sure were some increible orangutan moments

[@MK-dj5vz]

Loved this !

[@julianriezebos]

It’s the year 2051, apes have transformed the jungle into a whole village with actual houses

[@jonhohensee3258]

Which apes? Humans?

[@CS-yq8hp]

It’s on my bucket list to befriend an old wise orangutan 🦧

[@petercarlson9666]

He'd probably show you the world..

[@lyndonbrown8786]

@@petercarlson9666 it should

[@terenarosa4790]

I was worried the orangutan would hurt herself with that saw. 😭

[@juuk3103]

She is smart, notice how she puts the saw in her mouth to touch with her tongue to test it, then takes it out and softly bumps the teeth on the outside of her mouth to test it's sharpness

[@familyfreedomfinancial]

This made me cry lol goodness how sweet these animals are ️

[@seanyager3177]

Absolutely shocking mental accuitty 🤯 Stunning!

[@Hollipolli]

Would love to hang out with these fellas. Maybe try to teach them some simple tricks for tool use or something

[@thisintangibleexistence]

THAT SPY ORANGATANG WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN

[@SamuelBlack84]

Orang-Terminator

[@enzymerc6969]

the last clip, is just absolutely INSANE

[@iroh5379]

good stuff david!

[@gettem6341]

orangutans are smarter than people. I would have no idea how to get food on my own in the jungle.

[@kevinoldman232]

Definitely one of the most intelligent species

[@bligaard9308]

Dazzling orangutangs so beautiful and lovely, reminds me of my good buddy Chr. M

[@MasonSanchez.]

That last one was like “Just keep ‘em coming Jim!”❤

[@thierryparte2506]

It went from a horror movie to sad tear jerker with poor Mentang

[@Herowebcomics]

Wow! These videos are both amazing and sad! It's amazing that these things are so smart and that people are trying to help them, but it is sad to see that one guy trying to eat rocks instead of food! And what is happening to their habitat!

[@leonefurlan137]

the sawing was FENOMENAL!!!
