Wild orangutan seen treating his wound with medicinal plant - a first in wild animals

- Scientists observed Rakus pluck and chew up leaves of a medicinal plant used by people throughout Southeast Asia to treat pain and inflammation. The adult male orangutan then used his fingers to apply the plant juices to an injury on the right cheek. Afterward, he pressed the chewed plant to cover the open wound like a makeshift bandage, according to a new study in Scientific Reports.
Previous research has documented several species of great apes foraging for medicines in forests to heal themselves, but scientists hadn't yet seen an animal treat itself in this way.
The usual suspects: that plant should be illegal
Smart dude.
They have been watching the natives from above forever. Where do you think the saying, "Monkey see, monkey do" originated. Smart animals.
Nah this one’s crazy 💀😭
Orangutans aren't monkeys
Humans and orangutans are both monkeys, so you’re right.
@@kenshn22828 Close enough Apes see, apes do...better for ya? Apes and monkeys are all wonderful minics.
AND trimmed his beard. Impressive.
😂😂😂
Animals know what’s safe and what’s not look dogs eat grass etc
This is next level intelligence, imo: it's prescriptive and also
involves topical application. That's crazy smart. Very cool.
They are smarter than we think they are.....
ABC7 spends 30 seconds on this news.
Now to something more important: _General Hospital_
I would like to think that he has chewed on these leaves before, and took note of the effects. Numbing for one. Probably had a mouth sore at some point, and while chewing on the plant found out that it took the pain away. Once he had this external pain thought maybe the leaf could do the same.
Imagine him trying to chew on it, and it does nothing, and having to figure out that if you take the chewed up leaf, compared to the leaf by itself, it would cause the pain to go away by applying it to the pain location.
I think I'd want to hang out with this guy sometime, he seems really cool, so wise and contemplative. I'm not surprised he knew this at all, I feel like primates should be given the same rights as people, they would probably learn to adapt very quickly.
Orangs are the only non-human primates I would be interested in meeting. They seem more solitary and gentler, certainly, than chimps.
Female researchers who work with Orangutans are told to wear jeans when working with them. I'll leave it to you to figure out why...
@@theronraam23 I knew there was some kind of affinity between us.
So annoying on several levels... First I didn't see anything anything, juice or pulp being applied in their video. Secondly, in the wild state an open wound closing would be the same as a wound healing.. I think they were just prattling on without watching the video or thinking about the words they were saying.. typical news,
So awesome. God is so real
Then why didn’t you show it liars

Propaganda
True, orangutans are very influential in lobbying and influencing mainstream media. That's actually why we use the term "Monkey Business" to refer to sketchy activities.
Pro-orangutan propaganda fr‼️🗣💯
Get your Dunning-Kruger hat while they last, bro.
How?
