Isn't it OBVIOUS why they're orange? They're ORANGutans. If they were maroon we'd call them maroonutans. However, I'm guessing if they weren't orange, they'd be

well, most non primate mammals are dichromatic, so they can't even tell the difference between orange and green. so it only really matters for crocodiles and eagles to be able to see the difference between orange and green, and I don't imagine there are too many of those hunting orangs

Guys, you might sponsor a lot of people but PLEASE do not force them to put your "thank you" sponsors part in the middle of their otherwise interesting stuff. That cuts the mood to even watch it until the end. Let us choose if we wanna watch who sponsored who, and ether skip it or stop it. For us is not worth NOTHING that you sponsored a giraffe documentary or an astronomy video on comets. Put it in words, or at the end, on credits. I might choose to watch it or pass at Was I clear enough? Commercials from YouTube, long minutes during a video, advertising breaks, then another publicity and another... When this is gonna end? Oh, right, a monthly subscription will be [almost] commercials free! No more YouTube for me, soon. Fed up!

The ku klux klan flag is red with a white cross in the middle. Might as well put the American flag as their background, because they flew that more.
