[@doreki951]

@@MassNssen He defends himself not without a reason, if we do not disturb their nature they will not disturb us, orangutans and Borneo humans have existed side by side since the dawn of time, but because human selfishness destroys their habitat, orangutans don't see the good in people, what if your house was taken by people, would you let them treat you as they please because they're afraid you're angry because they're taking ur house?

[@wow-oq6jc]

Yes indeed he would be a dominant male but then he might have some competition so

[@justcallmejessz3712]

This makes me so so so happy. His aggression isnt just good practice for other males he will meet in the forest, but also for horrible humans with guns not containing sedatives

[@jasonberryman1035]

@Goosa Poosa the aggression can be used to dissuade naive poachers though, I heard that was the case with a certain tiger known as Ustad by rangers which due to his aggressive nature made poachers reluctant to venture in the territory until he was removed from the area after killing several humans unprovoked. Similarly, I’ve heard cases of silverback gorillas and male chimpanzees protecting their troops from poachers attacks despite often dying in the process. Now granted an orangutan isn’t as fierce or fast as these other animals I’ve mentioned but still I don’t think aggression is a bad trait

[@pussthepupanddonkeythedog5135]
