  • BABY APE FOREST SCHOOL teaches orphaned chimps, gorillas, and orangutans what they need to survive. Dedicated 24/7 caregivers save lives and help orphans grow in Forest School.
    Great Ape orphans from illegal poaching and habitat loss pour into sanctuaries across Equatorial Africa and Borneo and Sumatra. Forest Schools are critical to getting lost lives back on track and perhaps back into the wild.

    All footage for this video was obtained through reputable, ethically run wildlife sanctuaries dedicated to caring for their rescued primates while protecting their wild counterparts. Apes Like Us (under GLOBIO) and our partner programs in no way support the exploitation or trade of primates in any capacity (whether legal or illegal).
    The sanctuary caretakers shown in this video are experts at caring for these vulnerable, orphaned apes until they are strong enough to join larger primate families at these sanctuaries. Any human contact with these infants is for the babies' physical and mental benefit only.

      Hello Marc, I love primates. My favorites are the gorillas.
      I never thought much on the orangutans, always thought they had way to much hair. But seeing them small and watching them grow has melted my heart.
      Orangutans seem to wear their emotions on their sleeves. They squeal when scared, they walk hugging each other for security, they do these goofy things and had me laughing so much yesterday as I binged on Orangutan School Videos.
      You gotta watch the Orangutan School series.
      At the orangutan school you will see so much of so much, its great; additionally, you will meet a male & female that become friends and they become separated ( so so sad see it) then they think the female who is very young is pregnant ( she & boyfriend were always necking at school behind the trees 🤣), but the last series I just saw yesterday they were going to take her to get tested for PG. So I'm waiting on that video, I don't know the outcome.
      Just so you know. You can be a strong construction worker, but what makes you a great man is your beautiful heart.
      Take care...
      And watch the Orangutan school.

      @@98shon98 The "people" in these videos are NOT the people responsible for turning these young primates into orphans.
      Poachers are to blame!!! Poachers sell the young to anyone willing to pay.
      These people rescue the orphaned from those individuals that are usually extremely incapable of caring for them.
      Nor are these particular orphans being exploited!!! Successful preservation isn't cheap. RUclips has been a great platform for raising awareness for activism.
      Frankly..I'm a little surprised that you could end up with such a distorted view of what's actually happening in these type of videos.
      I think you could probably benefit from paying less attention to the overly righteous comment section and more to the actual videos.
      Furthermore, it seems kind of hypocritical to me that if you truly believed these young apes are being exploited for the sake of views, that you would take the time to watch and comment in the first place.
      Nevertheless..we should all continue watching and commenting as its ultimately a good thing to become more aware and educated.
      But you should take more time to realise who the "bad people" are and who is actually trying to help.

      Ant the Gord hahaha 😂 !! Omg right ? It’s awesome !!! It’s been shown that cats laugh ( dogs as well) .., although they don’t exhibit the same gestures , but that cats have. Sense of humor ., though ppl attribute that to being extremely dry , but haha ,’I just know my cat probably has laughed at or judged me a few times 😂. I’ve always said, that animals are capable of experiencing the full range of emotions , just as we are capable in our own ways , despite it being different and more complex in certain aspects ,, but that obviously they feel and sense emotion and exhibit that within their mannerisms & behavioral gestures etc. where just bc they may not sense or express the full range of emotions exactly as we do , Doesn’t exclude them from being able to feel .. so many people are oblivious and really missing out , when they assume animals or certain living beings aren’t capable kg having feelings or feeling pain or suffering .,, many of those very people seem to have never opened their eyes or hearts .. to see the obvious ! For anyone to think humans are the only Ones able to exhibit such abilities is just evident of their unintelligent and inability to perceive and read cues and signals and gestures in / or their inability to have empathy for other living beings is just disturbing and ridiculous .,, idk if many among the scientific community have just perpetuated that ideology just to enact their cruelty among research and studies , so that people would form a detached perspective and separate themselves from being capable to address the obvious truth , seeing that so many animal studies and research and testing is barbaric and cruel , bc imo, for anyone to be so oblivious and to truly not see it upon just observing them at all.., for like 1-5 min. To see that omg , not only are they capable of feeling pain and suffering ( as evident upon their behavior kn response to the abuse and torture enacted on them ) they’re ( especially among most social mammals ) so very capable of each emotion and feeling at the core of it all. Despite the complexities we may have with our larger , more developed Brains , that they’re most definitely able to convey upon just observing them , feelings we should be very aware of ., it’s like people get so mind blown when they see oh wow , we’re not the only ones to do that ? And it’s the most basic of folks at times to never conclude some of the most obvious things, where it’s just difficult imo to interact with ppl who operate that way ., they’re Easily amused and come off as if they’re just marginally intelligent when they’re like, flipping out over it anytime tnry see something do the obvious 😂. Idk why they didn’t expect more and why they certainly expect less other than either selfishly motivated ideals etc ... bc no one in their right mind would look at social animals & miss the obvious cues and gestures and mannerisms or the personality traits and be so misinformed. It’s astounding. And we all have to learn and grow as we go , but some will be * finally after forever it seems 😂 so shocked and amused at things that animals will do , always comparing them to themselves or humanizing them and that’s the issue ,too,, bc it’s either ppl are so disconnected from what they see or they’re trying too hard to humanize everything and they’re the ones that will misread gestures and non verbal cues so badly. I can’t stand when someone sees a monkey or an ape bearing its teeth & gets all excited saying oh look it’s smiling and they’ll smile back Causing more tension for the animal. Or if they see them play fighting, they’ll be quick to freak out and think they were acting maliciously or violently and other things of that nature. It’s so cool to see cute things like an animal just laughing and cutting up and having fun ! And while i get that there’s scientific evidence of many things , j can’t stand when they’ll always say oh , they prob. Just are driven out of instinct or it’s just a reaction to stimulation or when it comes to baby monkeys and the way they pitch fits and carry on in this over dramatic behaviors and cry .. and cry and cry , they’ll say oh no , humans are the only ones to cry ,, Bh were the only ones to produce tears as a result of emotional or physical pain .. yet they’ll say animals have “ distress calls “.. yes they do. But some of them also cry. My cat cries for me when I’m gone and will search the house calling out “ weh ahh oooh ? Weh ahh ooooh? ( I always say where are U in the same cadence and tone when I come in and don’t see him 😂) so it sounds as if he’s asking where I am too. Maybe not. But still. I do know he also calls me weh eow ,. He only does that vocalization directed at me and it’s never when he’s asking for something or doing anything other than sitting with me or waking me up 😂. So I’m weh eow 😂. I’ll tell him to go find my daughter & will say where’s Bre ? Go find Bre and he runs to her room and finds her. If she’d not tnsre he stays in there and looks up at me like omg she’s not in here 😂. I’ll get his trees & ask do u want some & taught him to shake his head yes or no with some positive enrichment during my training him and he’ll say yes. And I’ll put one in my hand. Sometimes closing my hand and I’ll say open it up & he opens my hand for his treat or I’ll have one in both hands or present both hands to him & he’ll pick one. At Times before opening it up , I’ll ask are u sure u want that one ? If he is, he’ll stay where he is with his paw in my hand but if he’s not he’ll go select the other one. He picks out his cat food flavor by me lining a few up & saying which one do u want & he’ll inspect them and make his decision and it’s usually an obvious decision haha ,, he follows me wherever I go , rides in the car , never has to be restrained or caged and walks on a leash if were ever out for a walk. He was completely wild and I’ve worked with him a long time but he is so smart and ppl all the time depict cats as being uncaring and aloof or mean and I’m like wow. They haven’t gotten the opportunity to be around a cat to make that assumption.

      Generally chimps and gorillas would not be raised together - especially as they grow older. In this unusual case there was only one baby of each and the care staff was limited. It was decided to share the forest school experience for their first few months. They have each long sinced joined larger groups of their own species in the sanctuary.

    How ANYONE can view these amazing creatures as meat/food is just abominable. I have such a love and fascination for these animals and I’m so glad there are so many sanctuaries out there like this one, so dedicated to taking care of these little ones. They deserve life…love…and respect.

      Thank you so much for your compassion, Steve. The bushmeat problem is indeed a horrific one, but very complex. At times people living in poor areas are driven to bushmeat hunting because they need a source of protein. This is why conservation programs must focus on the wellbeing of people too. So glad you're enjoying our videos and thanks for watching.

      Why? And why is so much of society horrified by apes being killed for food by people truly in need but has no problem with the horrors of cows and chickens being abused followed by mass - murdering for food?

    Omg just watch the four babies suck their bottmade me cry.. just knowing how evil some people can be poaching and trying to keep these primates as pets.. when all they ever wanted was their mama family and natural habitat. And to be left alone by evil humans.. you are the most unique and amazing people on earth you are truly angels. I love respect adore admire each of you for all you do. There truly are no words to show my gratitude to you.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️and those babies are just so loving and adorable 🥰

    It's impossible not to fall in love with little apes, the chimps and orangs especially. As cute as young gorillas are their natural strength can be a bit intimidating if not outright dangerous. They may not mean to hurt a human but can cause harm so easily once they reach a certain age. Chimps are far less likely to harm a human but again are much stronger than a grown man after a certain age. Orangs interestingly are so naturally gentle they are rarely a big threat. All of course are incredibly cute and their need to hug and be held and to feel loved and show affection to those who care for them is just so human like it's hard for me to grasp how a person can be cruel to such sweet critters. Poor people who are desperate to feed their families or just not caring and are willing to kill in order to make some rich man happy it's hard to hate them but seeing mutilated rhinos or elephants or dead gorillas is such a sad thing. I often feel it's not always a kindness to try and return a young animal to the bush or Forrest where they are immediately in danger again. As bad as it may sound the time is fast coming when the only safe place for some animals is basically anywhere but the wild. Unless much more is done to protect them large numbers of apes and other critters will be gone soon, and that will be a terrible tragedy

    Brilliant. One of the best videos I've seen in 10 years and I've seen all of the great ape videos on RUclips. Thank you. Very awesome!
    _(I'm thinking they will eventually need to learn to deal with and control their temperament among the hierarchy of the group. I've seen alot of care takers neglect the chimps temperament training thinking as long as they have love and affection, their temper works itself out but that is not true. They need training in this area. Food and/or item possession is a great place to start. Sharing is a huge learning experience. How they socialize and how they control their temperament determines how well they survive within the group)_
