Unique Moment - Flanged Orangutan Male Grooming His Son

Dijmat, the flanged orangutan male, is such a gentle giant. Not all orangutan males can stay with the family, as they are normally solitary animals and typically have minimal involvement in raising their offspring. That's why this is so special to see. Dijmat is grooming his son, Jim.
Jim is sitting in front of Dijmat, and he starts grooming his son. Even though his hand is so much bigger than baby Jim's head, he's so gentle. Even Sprout can learn a thing or two. Jim is holding still, letting Dijmat get on with it. When the big daddy stops, Jim gets up, and it looks like he grabs his dad's flanges. Joe comes to have a look, and his mum, Sprout, walks past. I just love Jim next to his dad as he holds onto the strap. Then Jim turns around and tries to hide behind Dad's flanges, or is he just checking them out? It's hard to imagine that Jim might one day have those big cheek flanges as well. Jim finally leaves Dad's sight, but later on, Jim is back to inspect closely what his dad is eating.

Wow….what a loving father!❤

[@SloggerVlogger]

I really love his temperament. He's such a gently male Orangutan.

[@lady4vols]

This is the absolute sweetest video I’ve seen. I’ve never seen a male orangutan be so loving. These kids have a special Dad.

[@satrongcha]

Denver Zoo's Berani is probably the most loving male orangutan I've ever known of. When his mate died, he took over care of their baby girl Cerah, holding her and sleeping with her at night

[@SloggerVlogger]

@satrongcha I did hear something about that. That does sound amazing for a male Orangutan.

[@lady4vols]

@@satrongcha animals are amazing and never seem to shock me with their abilities with their precious babies. 💜💜

Thats the longest time I’ve seen Jim be still for! 😂Does he know he is in the presence of greatness? 😂Or is he just loving the Dad and son time ? His Dad face expression suggested he was loving it too. 😍☺️ … the entire scene was very touching. You really have a knack of being in the right place at the right time. Bravo SV. 🙌♥️.

I seem to have trouble seeing my own replies to your comments at the moment. To figure out if it is a problem in my browser or if it is a KZbin problem could you tell me if you can see my two replies? Thank you in advance

Oh wow Slogger Vlogger you did excellent catching this sweet heartwarming video! I tell you Dijmat their Daddy, is such sweet and gentle and he has such a beautiful and gentle face and eyes. He is probably the best looking male Orangutan I have ever seen. I feel like he knows that is his son and again I have to say he is so gentle with his son. And look how trusting Jim is with his Daddy! I just loved this video! Put a big smile on my face! Thank you Slogger Vlogger! You are the best! 😀❤❤🦧

[@SloggerVlogger]

Thank you so much for your kind words 😊. I think he's one of the most gentle Orangutan males I've seen. Even Jazz who we know is very protective, seems to trust him now and that means something.

[@marlamitchell4348]

@@SloggerVlogger you are welcome! Yes and Jazz is an excellent Mama! You are welcome dear friend! 😊💕

Isn't Mother Nature just wonderful? We must ensure we never lose these magnificent animals. Our world would be so much worse off without them. ❤❤❤

[@tavibaby]

Thank you for sharing such a rare and loving moment between father and son. The boys are getting so big😢❤😊.

[@SloggerVlogger]

Thank you so much for your super Thanks😊. Agree, the boys are growing up way too quickly and getting so independent as well. It's good that they got each other, giving Jazz some peace.

[@pamcunningham9608]

It amazes me to see any male orangutan, who normally would be solitary and have no interactions with his offspring, seem to happily take on the daddy duties! Berani is an extreme example, but there are plenty more who seem to recognize and care for their young! 🤎🤎🤎

[@AudreySmallcombe]

I want Lope! X ❤
