I currently receive cancer treatment for the second time in one year. My body is so, so weak and my mind needs to go places. This channel helped me escape and dream of all the things i can use my life for! I am so looking forward to getting strong and healthy again and start working with animals again, this time in other countries just to learn and give all that i have. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

[@fatbongripz4207]

ok

[@teresaboone4098]

I love these videos too and I will be praying for you

[@lightningsparx5786]

Love & Light, sending good thoughts your way.

[@barbaralagravinese872]

I hope everything works out for you. Will say a prayer for you 😇

[@lennarthagen3638]

Wish u a good recovery 🙂 I wanna work with animals as well, but have zero clue where to begin. Working with chimps is my dream.

[@atmosphericentry0]

ngl i lost it when Reren comes in and just beats Beni with a stick for trying to steal food

[@tracymsp6329]

Benny comes in like a wrecking ball...🤣🤣🤣 I'm still laughing. No bananas for Benny!!!

[@kylie-gracewagner2790]

Okay so I'm a girl who doesn't get all gooey over puppies, kittens etc but... The 2 disabled orangutans (Shelton & Copro i think) Wow. That really got me. So incredibly sweet & amazing.

[@taraschumacker]

They named one Obama 😅 I’m dying 🤣

[@ellenl5626]

Seeing a one-handed orang swimming successfully is such a treat! Even better is seeing an armless orang not only thriving but visiting his blind friend.

[@anitakoorn3448]

Brought me to tears..heartwarming 🥰

[@c03x157]

it's sad to know that every baby means a dead mom, blessings to all who help these innocent cousins

[@anthonykryzak273]

Sometimes its just horrible event that separates them. While the majority means a deceased mother there are those that get separated and lost, or dropped while mom was fleeing from a predator or plantation employee.

[@treyjetson5320]

Luthy running away from the group to escape bullying is so relatable.

[@ragmamale4783]

for real... never knew id relate to a orang

[@shellos8]

Jungle School was one of my most favorite shows. Are we going to ever get a season 3??? Please?!

[@AZdude]

I so hope so. This show Is the best.

[@t.j.e.t277]

They teased that a season 3 had begun filming but them never released it or said anything else about it 🤨☹️😫

[@petermoody6147]

To: Michelle Abbott - I believe Season 3 was put on temporary hold due to the pandemic.

[@gilanggilang9859]

where u watch season 1 & 2?

[@jimmygadd]

i hope people donate the most money they can for this center. This is what the planet need

[@kimgb8248]

Kopral is AMAZING! He's the one whose arms were electrocuted. Really incredible how he gets around & still visits his buddy Shelton! How heartwarming! ♥️

[@Seetha-Golden]

I wanna cry everytime I watch it. May they be happy and healthy for the rest of their lives. 🧡🦧

[@lightningsparx5786]

These little guys are one of the planets treasures. We must protect them at all costs.

[@cpujol9420]

Couldn't agree more! They are absolutely priceless.

Then Stop using palm oil, I'm from Medan, indonesia.. all the forest here turn into Palm plantation and rubber latex plantation

[@SamuelBlack84]

The best way to protect them is to leave them alone

[@cas6227]

I love how sweet and affectionate they are... The world you share in there is amazing.

[@davidmccarthy4690]

Luthy is so sweet peeking around the tree my heart melts and the dude with the snakes cracks me up he can’t help but laugh at the reactions of these babies their faces are so expressive. How about Valentino under his leaf hat unfazed by his buddy who farts right next to his face. I love when the little girl shows her babysitter how much she loves her after being shown how to collect water using a coconut shell

[@MaureenPrice-ob1fk]

I just love Benny he is just amazing and I feel so sorry for him as the staff have the poor thing on a diet all the time

[@PoppySeed47]

I could watch orangutan jungle school all day 🥰 they are the sweetest bunch of kids and I hope all of them make it back in to the wild.

[@TestTest-dd4qb]

The show was cancelled, it was exposed it. They placed the orangutans on cages all day while starving them, if they tried to escape they were zapped

[@yamileisabelespinozatoro4354]

Son adorables!!!

[@tattooshop9551]

A no armed orangutan and a blind orangutan being best friends just warms my heart!

[@Herowebcomics]

Omg! All of these stories are great,but that one about the guy with no arms is amazing!

[@lotte1521]

I know what a legend

[@kristidavis9945]

Poor Beni it makes me sad that he has to do without while all the others get their treats etc. I know y’all are trying to get him to loose some weight but dang it’s so sad to watch.

[@Notoriousnipple]

Yeah and then getting beat with a stick by another Orangutan lol

[@susieturk1]

Absolutely

[@kerribasnett1209]

I agree 💯%. Pretty sure you could have handled this situation better. Your " methods" incited anger, stealing and violence among the primates!

[@sirennoir258]

See that is why Beni is so big because y'all feeling sorry for him. 😅

[@nataliepOU812]

Maybe a more low cal snack could be given rather than none.

[@tomfu6210]

I like Luthy. Power of introverts 🫡

[@JustinCage56]

5:34 The way Jerry stares down the men as they sailed away before descending back into the jungle looked really badass.

[@amanbirbthe4th967]

He's the new boss

[@ELITESrBAMOFOS945]

I identify with Beni completely

[@edinimations]

valentino jumping on the source was funny and effective

[@rcpetty16]

This is the best series ever!! I love orangutans now from watching this!

[@lyoshak1572]

Watching these videos now, I want to say thank you to all the vets, teachers and teknisi of Nyaru Menteng High who helped us and shaped us into what we are today. Thank you for your guidance, sorry for our tantrums and I wish I had some more of that delicious onion juice😅

[@Kiowa371]

Gosh, I can watch this all day ❤

[@Zthechampion]

0:03 that is the most adorable sound I ever heard from an orangutan

[@jeffonken4769]

Extra flavor on the rubber tree. Priceless!!

[@GeorgeGiann]

How in the world did she spot the termites from that distance???

[@ab_azmi5584]

Beni is my spirit animal

[@sirennoir258]

I never considered them animals for some reason

[@MM-yi9zn]

I so love Orangutans. They’re magnificent creatures. So intelligent & socially aware. Something very human about them.

[@didansuherman3085]

I never got bored of seeing this magnificent creatures 🥺🥰😍

[@bridgettemounts3320]

Poor benni...the struggle is real!

[@Kefka.]

Kopral with the missing arms, good for him that he is doing well, but that owner is a scumbag. Dude just let his "pet" suffer horribly for no reason (well, perhaps not getting caught). With more immediate treatment instead of multiple days later, things might have gone better for Kopral. I like that these rehab/shelters exist for wildlife, but it is sad that humans are so often the direct and purposeful cause of why the animals are there in the first place.

[@Seyone030]

10:55 love seeing the famous uncle Roger saying in orang utang school.

[@kristiegucciardo8194]

Not the heavy artillery 😆😆

[@1.7jt]

kopral and shelton's story breaks my heart🥺🥺

[@retyboi]

I love these videos because I was a foster, looking for a place to just be loved and cared for

[@canislupis3129]

How incredible these creatures are. I think they are the most intelligent primates. You see that one UNDOING the bolt and nut on its cage using one finger from each hand to get through the tiny opening, and it is surely undoing it. Crazy smart animals. I’m afraid I would become too attached to them if I worked there.

[@AGdawn]

Me too. It would be so hard to let them go when the time comes to go into the wild💔

[@cpujol9420]

Same! I could never leave.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

Famously, a male orangutang in a zoo once figured out how to pick the lock of his enclosure using a hairpin. He'd sneak out every night and wait on a nearby roof to see the surprise of his keepers each morning. They had to install cameras just to figure out how he was doing it.

[@ellenknell9645]

Beni's come a long way.💖But he still has a gluttony/and food theft problem.🤣🤣🤣 Love Beni.💖🖤💖🖤💯

[@dionnedunsmore9996]

I watched a Documentary earlier today that featured Jane Goodall. She was saying that many skills/techniques used in a troop are often discovered by the toddlers of the troop. They discover skills and show the matriarch who then show the troop .

[@anthonykryzak273]

Before human children loose the light of early age learning they teach their parents an abundance of things. I imagine its no different among the people of the forest.

[@consciouscreator3366]

Orangutans are beautiful! I love watching this show. The caretakers/vets are amazing. It breaks my heart about the deforestation that is going around in Indonesia and around the world. We have to come together to do some thing. I have donated to the orangutan projects and I hope any little bit helps. ❤

[@abiyus9012]

the Jungle School series are the best things on KZbin!!

[@angelafinley2662]

These babies are so smart! I'm impressed! I'd love to work with them! ❤️💯

[@lauralaura12345]

You might be safer with these orangutans than in some public schools in America.

[@OrangeVibezz]

Camera man : stands there and does nothing just watches others steal food and cry

[@FailedNoName]

They aren't suppose to intervene

[@hyesunstuart1320]

Thank you for the video! I am glad there is a jungle school for orangutans. They are Sooooooooo precious.

[@menmeiaventh2036]

Among the monkeys the one I literally love truly is orangutan.... calm,steady,lovely eye and also looks like tatoo in face b4 hair covered up is another loveable part in orangutan face....

[@anthonykryzak273]

Not trying to come across as patronizing or annoying but Orang's are apes like us and monkeys, being a bit different by definition are easy to pick out because they always have a tail.. Perhaps you already know this but it seemed like a ripe chance to educate and clear up a misconception.

[@althea4274]

The Kopral story is such a heartbreaking one!

[@boxingscience8849]

With a surprising burst of energy.....lol

[@yulianixyz]

Poor beni. ❤😂

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

Koprol is like the orangutan version of My Left Foot. Also, when he goes to visit Shelton, you can practically hear Shelton go 'here, buddy, try some of this!' as he passes the branch down to his best friend. In fact, many, many times throughout these clips, you can all but hear the orangutans' thoughts in their faces and reactions.

[@bettythompson7177]

Thank you all for all you do too help them!

i feel so bad for benny, first he gets no treats, then stolen from , AND left out. (i do know that its his fault but still its so sad to watch)

[@jordankayner9085]

If I was magical I'd do 3 acts 1- build a small tree house n live among them.2- summons veggies n fruits for everyone Beni included. (They're so active Beni will work off any extra weight). 3- learn to communicate with them learn their language or incorporate sign language. Prefer to learn theirs!

Kopral & Shelton story ❤❤❤❤. Orangutan’s are more humane then people.

[@LunaDelTuna]

Dang even the orangutan's got a higher education I did

[@iconifyme]

These are such amazing beings. We humans think of ourselves as completely different types of beings but watching the other great apes it is clear, at least to me, that the only real difference is a matter of degrees and not completely different traits. Our ability to use symbolic language is the only real difference.

[@tinaking7361]

🤣🤣🤣🤣I died when she death him over the head with that stick..lol

[@EdsterIII]

I've loved and appreciated Orangutans and Chimpanzees since I was a kid. Chimpanzees are so adorable especially as babies. Orangutans are just as sweet and adorable as well. While Chimpanzees are usually a bit more aggressive as they mature, Orangutans as seen by the one guy early on can also become quite nasty as well. Both are very quick and extremely strong. BOTH of them have hands and fingers like a vice grips. Orangutans can also be very affectionate as well. The babies can develop a very strong bond with their "babysitter(s)". Their little squeaks can become cries when and or if they get separated. To me everything about them is fascinating. From their expressions, their laughter or giggles, to their communication skills or attempting skills? How each and every one has a completely different and unique personality. One can be very shy, or be very much a loner, while another might love a crowd or even be a sneaky little one. Each one is a character, and are capable of all sorts of shenanigans and little pranks. What's also so amazing about Orangutans is as much as they can learn from us, WE can also learn from them as well. Their intelligence is incredible. They are again such incredible creatures as well. Plus they are so 🤪🤪goofy🤪fun🤪🤪 and just a blast to watch play.

[@shelbygtman]

This is beyond words in Amazing-ness! It's made my day. I'm so happy to see what these workers are doing... I had no idea such a school existed...

You all are angels... Thank you for sharing!!❤
