Then some orangutans will start blocking off the trees,and require a rediculous amount of food payments to use the trees, then the alphas will set arbitrary amounts you can have and if an orangutan who section the trees gives an orangutan more than the arbitrary amount they say, they will banish that orangutan,and label the orangutan who needed the trees.

Dogs will eat grass when they have stomach problems, so it does make sense that primates would, at a more advanced level, understand that maybe specific plants and actions help better.
I think that’s more instinct than purposeful self medicating as seen with this orangutan. It’s known that even dinosaurs ate pebbles to help digest food.
We're starting to learn just how much the other inhabitants of our planet actually know. From these lovely fellow primates to corvids to octopuses, all around us are critters that know more than we give them credit for. Hopefully we learn to save them, rather than cause their extinction, too.
Here here, I hope that we can emotionally grow from the mistakes of our individual and species past to make better decisions for the future. So that all life can enjoy the beauty of this amazing planet

do not count octopus in that bracket their intelligence is highly misunderstood and over exaggerated.They appear to be smarter than they are because of the bundles of nerves in their arms that allows for independent reaction and interaction.
I always knew orangutans were special. They are the hermit sage of nature. Always looking calm, not looking for trouble, demonstrating signs of great intelligence and even empathy/selflessness. Love them so much. On the opposite of the spectrum I am deathly afraid of chimpanzees and I definitely don't trust monkeys
they always look calm in the videos we see. But I don't think a dominant male orangutan is all that calm. Probably not too different than a male gorilla.
Lol you think they're eating Mcdonalds cr*p like humans do? They definitely have way better immune systems & their wounds healing much faster is no surprise
Many primates have crazy healing capabilities. Humans are actually quite "fragile" comparatively in some ways. Macaques come to mind regarding high rates of healing things humans wouldn't easily walk away from. Not to mention, many primates don't have to really worry about issues humans do, like retained placenta and severe puncture wound deformity, scarring, and infection. It's crazy.

This is actually an interesting thought. If the scientists were smart, they’d get up there, scrape the tree, chew it and try to see what about it made him decide to put it on his face. Is it cooling, is it numbing? Surely he doesn’t know about its anti microbial properties.
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis i 100% would not scrape a tree and chew it to see if my mouth goes numb, that sounds like a darwin award waiting to happen... However that might be what the orangutang is doing.
@@DR-sv8ke She is saying it would be interesting to do what the orangutan did, namely chew on it, in order to figure what it is about the sensations chewing produces that could have led the ape to believe applying it to the wound could help
I would absolutely love to know why he knew about this plant and seemed to be very confident that it would work. I think it would be a huge breakthrough for science if we could understand how he knew where to get it and that it would work, when we apparently haven't seen any other orangutans do it since at least 1994
There are 2 possibilities 1. Orangutans, typically those that live near Small Villages, will watch and mimic human behaviors. They'll cut wood with a handsaw, row on a canoe, and use a bucket and a washboard to "clean" fabrics. Probably saw humans use that plant as medicine on more than one occasion and caught on. 2. It was information that was passed on from parent to child. If it was the second one, that speaks volumes of their intellect.
I guess it was trial and error by his ancestors and the knowledge has been passed on through generations. I guess that plant isn't particularly delicious, otherwise they would just eat it...
It might not be about plant knowledge. It's possible that plant made him salivate more, making it easier to produce a paste that would cover the wound and give him some relief. The medicinal properties may have been just a coincidence. Much like the other male that seeked relief by putting his finger in the cool water.
@@TriatttOr then it's wired to its brain through evolution. Smell or taste will trigger a feeling that the plant might relieve the pain. Would be a useful evolutionary trait that might get passed on in genes. Then again oranfutans are also very smart and have great capacity for learning.

A theory is that they have imitated humans. Orangutans are great imitators. Also it may just be a coincidence the ape used just that plant. Apes are smart, but I don't think they would be smart enough to figure out such thing on their own. Either way it's vey fascinating.

Why do we have video of the Orangutan eating leaves, but no video of the 7 minutes in which the orangutan was supposedly applying the treatment to the wound?
This is cap. I read a book called Indian Givers in college in the 90s. It detailed how Europeans who "migrated" to South America would follow natives and primates and notice that they were using certain plants to medicate themselves. Then sent samples back to France and isolated the compounds that became some of the medicines we use today. The book was shedding light on how Europeans colonized areas "discovered " medicines from natives
“He kai te rongoā, he rongoā te kai” -food is medicine, medicine is food. I bet all animals self medicate just the orangutan was obvious enough for yous to observe
well, most animals do self medicate in some way, but most just evolves eating certain things, it's never a multi- step process like we see with humans, or, now Orangutans
@@uggali both, it being multi-step implies he actually knows what he's doing with it by chewing it down and applying it, which is much more similar to how humans apply certain medicine than anything ever seen before
They also observed him shaking the tree top violently ( they said they seen him throw a laptop from his nest) his wifi was lost for days & he was pissed
@@mojus2890 But they SHOWED the animal wounded already in the video. So certainly, that rule is okay for this educated video? Considering it's still up, showing the Orangutan wounded as is.

I wish we could know with more precision just how intelligent Orangutans are, and how their viewpoint of the world compares to that of a human. I have a feeling these apes are a lot closer to us than we give them credit for.
so, the phylosophy regarding one of the most important distinctions of a civilized / intelligent specie as the human being such as "when injuried, we healed ourselves instead of letting us die like wild animals do" is now obsolete.
Yes, sleep is when the body can focus more energy on healing injuries or fighting infections. That's why people recommend bed rest when you're sick or injured.
Pitcher plants have analgesic properties, so Pluto was probably getting pain relief for his finger. Pitcher plants' enzymes and tannins also help in wound healing.
I noticed that as well as my family...Whenever I sustained a bad injury for example: Road rash to the left side of my face, almost disfigured however I immediately went to bed for 3 days before going to the hospital...Fractured on my face healed itself and my face was like brand new again, that is after I peeled off the scab that covered the entire left side of my face...Sleeping automatically initiated a healing stage that repaired me.
The first minute was almost up before I realized the word was MEDICATING. I was looking for some signs, some descriptions, as to how an orangutan could be observed to be MEDITATING! I thought, that would be an extraordinary claim! How would you go about proving that a wild animal, so impulsive and easily agitated... was capable of MEDITATING?
"He did that repeatedly for seven minutes" So why are you not showing us this footage, instead you show images that don't prove anything and it's you doing it on yourself what???
@@blackkennedy3966 The video shows plenty of footage and it's clear they had cameras. It's hard to believe trained scientists whose job is to observe the animal sometimes bring the cameras and sometimes not. If so, they should all be fired not on BBC. Seems more like someone is trying to boost their career.
Yeah evidentiary scientific research is specially operated in such a way where it is not licensed to the media in any form. This is the main reason things like sanctioned /legit journals or items like BRILL publications are hundreds of dollars per copy and are the only legal source of the information. If you want to be a successful researcher, you need to be in these publications, if you're in the publications, it cant be media content.

It's just copy+paste jokes and nothing original. They're more interested in getting likes for their absolutely unoriginal joke or take on things than real life. I literally searched the comments for the name of the plant. And it's just sad losers making jokes to an abyss of other sad losers.

I thought, that would be an extraordinary claim! How would you go about proving that a wild animal, so impulsive and easily agitated... was capable of MEDITATING?
hahahahaha same here I was like wtf why are orangutans meditating
How many times did he see them putting on some ointment
"He did that repeatedly for seven minutes" So why are you not showing us this footage, instead you show images that don't prove anything and it's you doing it on yourself what???
I dunno jack, I guess they either didn’t have a camera to pull outta their ass.
@@blackkennedy3966 The video shows plenty of footage and it's clear they had cameras. It's hard to believe trained scientists whose job is to observe the animal sometimes bring the cameras and sometimes not. If so, they should all be fired not on BBC. Seems more like someone is trying to boost their career.
Yeah evidentiary scientific research is specially operated in such a way where it is not licensed to the media in any form. This is the main reason things like sanctioned /legit journals or items like BRILL publications are hundreds of dollars per copy and are the only legal source of the information. If you want to be a successful researcher, you need to be in these publications, if you're in the publications, it cant be media content.
@@yungcat-q5b Wait how would they just discover this now? What research are they doing?
@@yungcat-q5bit's a 3 minute video now let's use context clues bro it's obvious the video will be released later....
Can someone replybwith the name of the medicinal plant. Thanks
These comments are killing me. Apes are showing amazing abilities and using “technology” the likes of which we’ve never seen and never imagined they could do but we’re making jokes about him rolling blunts and starting the Planet Of the Apes revolution lmaoooo I love how little of fucks my generation gives. Nothing bothers us. Aliens? Nah. Super intelligent apes? Nah.
I mean we're super intelligent apes so this is nothing new
Because the majority of the young generation has brain rot from social media. I actually have sympathy for y'all because in about 5-10 years you will see the long-term effects from it.
It's just copy+paste jokes and nothing original. They're more interested in getting likes for their absolutely unoriginal joke or take on things than real life. I literally searched the comments for the name of the plant. And it's just sad losers making jokes to an abyss of other sad losers. There's not many people offering value they just want to be filled with approval online from people who for all they know could be bots and AI. These orangutans are keeping it real
In world first? We have been seeing this all our lives 😅
