Examining the nature of the beast.

[nijcat]

Freakin' every time I watch animal documentaries it's like "This animal is so majestic in the wild...but their numbers are rapidly declining due to human activities"

[rigobertosolorzano]

Orangutans self medicate?! Wow, that is amazing!

[leomdk]

4:10 "and they LOVE magic!"

Here are some facts that Animalogic didn't cover:

1. Orangutans share 97% if our DNA.
2. They spend up to a third of their life as a child.
3. They cannot swim that well.
4. They are the only great ape to live in asia.
5. They can mimic human behaviour (a skill which makes them learn better).
6. They have very strong lips which prevents them from eating anything bad.
7. They can be taught various tasks, like cleaning.
8. They make the biggest nest in the world.
9. There are programs like The Orangutan Project that are helping these magnificent creatures and preventing them from going extinct.

Just thought I'd share my knowledge.

In Indonesia, orang means human, hutan means forrest.
Orangutans literally translated to human of the forrest

"The Orangutan is one of our closest relatives. So why are we pushing them to extinction?"
Sibling rivalry?

[mypal]

Every time I see an orangutan I think of King Louie of the Jungle Book cartoon movie.

1:39 I see people standing like that in the hood

[sillyminicat]

[illusion-xiii]

4:11 "And they love magic!" Wait, what? You're just going to throw that out there with no follow-up? I have so many questions. Did something get lost on the editing room floor?

In my stem upward bound program we were told that there was a project we had to do based off of a food humans consumed. I chose palm kernel oil and learned about the massive deforestation practices, and about orangutans. I created my whole project based off of it. And I only have this to say, if you do your home work you will learn it is a very dark truth no one talks about. It's very heartbreaking when you learn the aggressive and devastating practices of deforestation that has many negative effects on these adorable and innocent animals.

[Lordskelecat]

Man that’s some messed up stuff that happened to those orangutans... poor critters

[wahyusiregar]

keeping orangutans from extinction is as difficult as refusing bribes from oil palm businesses.
especially for officials..!

[ShadowLibrarian]

Orangutans are amazing, they deserve to be protected.
