Baby Orangutan and Gibbon Have Unlikely Friendship | Nature Bites

[@acm9711]

Amazing!! The Gibbons realize he’s a baby and are so gentle and very careful. I think it’s incredible that mom of one species trusts another species with her baby! I don’t think I’ve seen or heard of that.

[@kendrahansen1175]

There are all types of unnatural behaviors that can be seen at these cruel and inhumane zoos. All of these animals do not know what it is like to be wild. At least this interaction/event appears to be a positive one.

Innoway I just love apes and monkeys….. and another way, I absolutely just despise them, and think they’re exceedingly disgusting and gross and despicable. For example when you see Bonobo‘s perverse actions, or macaques playing with themselves constantly, and trying to put their penises on each other‘s back‘s constantly, or chimpanzee, beating brutally the female that he just engaged in copulation with. That sort of thing. Sometimes it makes a person feel like they should all be extinct for those type of reasons. But they’re part of God‘s creation so, it’s a good thing we keep trying to prevent extinction

is amazing to see this relationship with the gibbons,and is easier to build the trust when is a baby and the gibbons recognize that thats just a baby,gibbons can be sweet like in this case or very aggresive,the good thing is baby orangutan hit the jackpot,and is very surprizing the mom to allow that to happen,and she dont seems worried at all,in fotore whenever that baby needs help those gibbons will go above and beyond to comfort that baby,is just lovely

[@jonaswhite5842]

[@benthekeeshond545]

I don't understand why Orangutans are solitary animals. At least not the females. As shown in this video, the mother Orang with a baby got along well with Gibbons. Why not with other Orangs? In fact, the female Orangs got along fine in sanctuaries. They will fight for food but in general, they enjoy playing and learning together. If they can do that in the wild and they have the ability to learn from one another, they will develop a culture and advance much faster as a species.

[@rita2774]

They’re solitary due to competition of food, but it might change like you said. Evolution is a weird thing

[@AQUAMARiNEraito]

Why is he named Tombol = remote control's button lol 😂😂😂

[@dspsblyuth]

I’m not sure if it’s because the gibbons are cool or that they know if they mess with the baby that momma can pop their skulls like a ripe pimple

[@billfred9411]

Its all of the above. I suspect them getting close to the little guy adds a new dynamic though. Connections formed at infancy can be a very strong thing and them befriending the little guy could add another layer of mutual respect.

[@adrianaslund8605]

They wouldn't interact with him if they didn't find it fun.

Why orangatangs don’t get muscle like gorillas..

[@strivvy6852]

I'm gonna guess because they have less weight to throw around when moving in trees; they probably get most of their strength from tendon joints attached further down their arms, thus allowing more leverage
