Orangutans are my favorite great apes

[@racquelbrooks5522]

Me too. I could watch them all day, wish I knew where to find all the shows of this

[@Ebontadeykumalononame]

These rats are my hate most I would kill them straighaway if I come across one

[@fifthbusiness1678]

I’ll second that. And they appear the closest to us in terms of behaviour and intelligence. However, chimps resemble us most in terms of violent behaviour.

[@katefoyder506]

Me too! I love these videos. I watch them everyday

Poor Eutris!! He got his peepee bit!! I know that hurt. I didnt know they could be so mean! Beni, i just love him!!❤

May we have more stories of Orang Utan, please 🙏

So cute

[@bengage9695]

Yutris never forgot the faces of his tormentors and just a few years later, he made sure they would never forget his. On that day, he decisively destroyed his bullies by fighting in the ancient martial arts competition known as "The Kumite". As he stood over his unconscious foes, the bloodthirsty crowd demanded more. They wanted the "Dim Mak" (death touch) to finish the fight. However, Yutris had satiated his desire for vengeance. He backed away and made a single long call before disappearing into the thick forest canopy. Some say he's still out there hunting bullies.

[@anthonykryzak273]

What many people wont understand unless they have been there is that Beni had known true hunger less than a year before this was filmed. Anyone who has ever felt what it does to your mind and energy when you starve enough to be emaciated and wither away to a place of physical and spiritual weakness like Beni has would understand the concern that there may not be enough food around and you too may want to cram the maximum volume of sustenance available to you. I think he is comical and I think there is a little bit of Benny in us all but those who have gone truly hungry might have a better chance of understanding his motivations. Anyone who has never stolen food has probably never gone hungry enough to do so.

[@ashortsimp1255]

You do understand that he isn't human? Right? Meaning his brain works differently

[@anthonykryzak273]

@@ashortsimp1255 I wonder if you realize that our brains don't work as differently as you seem to assume. Orang's have the full range of human emotions and lab testing has proven that when they learn or go through an ordeal sharp memories are formed that can last 15 years or more. If you believe that great apes don't remember less than a year ago when they lost their caregiver and ended up alone and starving, them I fear that you lack an appreciation of the sentience of these creatures. It was pointed out that Beni was 2 when he was brought in and every other orang in his group was brought in younger and had been at the center for far longer than Beni. and no im not stupid I know that there are nuances and very different ways that our brains evolved to work but dont forget that Orang's share 97% of their dna with us

Hello, Why Did you Removed Orangutan Jungle School From Turkey? I can Watch The old Episodes too.I hate the Australia Thing. There is 2 of it! Add Orangutan Jungle School Instead of it. And why do you publish Too Much Wild life Rescue team? It's not Fair! You should Add Orangutans Back!

[@Johnsmith99663]

Orangutans can swim well? So they avoid water because they just don't like being wet? IIRC something like 1/3rd of the entire, global orangutan population was annihilated in the forest fires of 1997. Why didn't they just take cover in rivers?

[@johndrivess]

no, they can't swim well

[@kendrahansen1175]

Once again the creators of these videos cut and paste portions of old videos and present them to the public as "new". Now that they have stolen and poached all of the animals from their surroundings, they have no more animals to exploit. They should not be surprised and they should have worked harder at protecting them rather than just looking to make money from their poaching activities. This is just disgusting and disgraceful!

[@c.bretmiller6148]

These is is a clip taken directly from Orangutan Jungle School, a program which documents the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundations orphan orangutan rehabilitation program. Full episodes are available on the Smithsonian Channel Website. KZbin Channels like this do just show clips from shows like that, and others, such as Orangutan Island, and Orangutan Diary. The people making these programs aren't the poachers though. The rehabilitate orphan orangutans who lose their mothers to the exotic pet trade, local hunters, and worst of all, deforestation for the palm oil industry. While shoes like the above named ones do obviously intend to make profits for themselves. they are actually responsible for funding A LOT of the BOS Foundations work. Perhaps even more importantly, they expose westerners to the plight of the orangutan, which in all likelihood, will go extinct in the wild within the next 50 to 100 years. So while, I concur that it's frustrating when KZbin channels like this just cut and paste clips of older shows together, especially the one's that profit off advertisements for these video hack jobs, they're not really part of the problem. I mean, this one even claims to contribute to groups like the BOS Foundation, and again... anything that introduces more affluent westerners to the dire circumstances of the Orangutan the better. So... whose really to blame? Well, poachers are problematic, but again, they account for just a drop in the bucket as far as what's rapidly killing off the entire orangutan species. Deforestation. That's the reason the total number of orangutans has dropped by over half from nearly a century ago. From an estimated 230,000 animals to less than 100k. The real problem is that the forests they live in are being supplanted by monocultural palm plantations that can't support any life, beyond the palms they grow. For everyone one Orang killed by poachers, there are likely 10 dead from losing their natural habitat. So whose responsible for that? Well, most likely people like you and me. Go to your kitchen or pantry and start looking at the ingredients of food items. Chances are, there's palm oil in nearly half of them. Some even get around labeling it as such, because they're aware of the adverse stigma it holds due to the orangutan problem, referring to it as Palmate, Cetyl Palmitate and Octyl Palmitate among others. So... what can we do? Boycott palm oil for one. The problem is, even if we were to stop everyone from using Palm oil, the Indonesian islands of Borneo and Sumatra would then simply be used to grow another cash crop that would have the exact same impact on orangutans. So... honestly, the best bet for saving Orangutans is to try and buy up as much of the land that they live on as possible, as even when the Indonesian government set aside land as protected national park land, that doesn't stop corrupt officials from turning a blind eye to wealthy business men, usually from other countries, paying local works pennies to the dollar to clear cut rain forest and build palm plantations. So what can we do? Donate money to foundations like the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation 'adopt' an orangutan every year by sending a few hundred dollars to the BOS. I try to avoid using palm products. ...AND perhaps most importantly, I explain to people whenever I get the chance how brilliant Orangutans are, how genetically similar to us they are, and how they're likely going to be extinct within this century. The Tapanuli and Sumatran species of Orangutan are all but guaranteed to go extinct in the wild within the next 100 years. The Bornean Orangutan? If enough people are aware of their plight, and donate to programs that try to protect them? They might have a small chance.

[@Ebontadeykumalononame]

These filthy parasites which you called "great apes" are the causing threat to the survival of the poor farmers without anyother means of income,poor people solely rely on the palm cultivation.so who is to live and who is to go?

[@kendrahansen1175]

@@Ebontadeykumalononame You are correct. There has to be a balance. Too many people here are mislead by the over dramatized and misleading videos posted by poachers who claim they are rescuers or conservationists. Not enough is said about the need for the poor people of Indonesia to survive and make a decent living.
