Orangutans just seem so wise as they calmly and quietly watch everyone.
They remind me of Buddhist monks.
now that is the work of a smart animal.
@@GladDestronger even gorillas can be smart. Koko the gorilla spoke fluent sign language. (Forgot his name) a silverback gorilla was taught to speak 500 words im sign language and he explained his mothers death and how she was murdered infront of his eyes. It is spectacular and sad to watch him express his emotions. Escpecilaly when he emphasized 'cry'
They don’t trust humans
I love this lady ♥️
Old saying in Borneo. "Orangutan' scan speak, but they won't, because they are afraid if they did that man would put them to work'.
006 really? Haha
yea that's pretty funny
Clever girl
Wow, that’s amazing. And kinda sad.
Orangutans look like monks 🤣 ready to get enlightenment anytime.
His face is so human, so genuine. He looks kinder more gentle than a lot of people
he has the power to rip your head off
He does, but being gentle doesn't require him to be weak. He is mild in temperament and doesn't feel the need to use his strength.
Lan Do He looks nothing like a human
+arp thirteen Then you're obviously not looking hard enough.
I agree, he looks so kind. And at peace despite his past.
Really breaks my heart how bad they have been treated and yet after all this violence and trauma they keep their gentle face and eyes towards us humans.
i just want to give him a big hug lol
ladistar you might get seriously hurt if not outright killed..chimps are 7 times the strength of a human..think how strong this big guy is!
@@cmoeller3 that's why I assumed the girl kept saying one arm only
@@cmoeller3 orangutans aren't as violent as chimps, though. He might be gentle since he's used to humans
@@yippehanako Generally other great apes aren't as violent as chimps or humans.
Woof
I think Hercules is one cool dude. I hope he doesnt get picked on by the other orangutans for being disabled and that gets better soon.
Hopefully they're nice.
they throw poop at him and he cant do anything
Don't think any of them would dare you seen the size of the fucker he prob rip ya head off without even noticing lol
it's amazing how despite the horrible treatment they have suffered at the hands of human they still have trust and love for other humans just goes to show how complex and intelligent these creatures are and how emotionally complex they are. if only humans could be that tolerate and forgiving.
Poor Hercules is perfect example of why the illegal wild "pet" trade and many zoos are devastating for these gentle creatures. It is amazing how gentle orangutans are.
It is more about the locals mistreating them.
its could be very hard for him to surviv, better in gage u know he have food
I will say there’s a level of conservationism that keeps it necessary because for example with tigers there is actually a greater captive population than wild population
Those are very minor impacts on the population.
The greatest is deforestation.
I have been to Borneo many times, and on each successive visit, I am depressed to see how much jungle has been cut down in order to grow palm trees.
The palm oil and rubber industries are destroying forrests throughout the tropics.
The contractors just kill orangutans if they are in the way.
Poor baby! He is such a sweetheart!
I know there so caring
Lynn Strong he's not a baby he's aleast 15
well 20 now
I wasn't referring to his age. It was an emotional expression in response to his gentle and caring nature. Duh.
nigel goveas pervert
It's Maurice!
Spookwagen! I thought you died
Tuk Hoang no
i have only ascended
😭😭😭
omg Maurice was so huge and fearsome..but still so friendly!!
SuperSpookwagen Where's Caesar
i just wanna smoke bud and chill with orangutans
Truth Man lmfao never seen a better comment
Are the orangutans smoking it too?
@@AnthonyCook78 Probably, because some chimps or some primates I can't remember, have smoked cigarettes. Weed is different to tobacco though.
Truth Man 😂😂😂
Until they pull your kneecaps out of there socket.
That's a broken animal. Just look at him, his eyes tell his story.
No such thing as broken living beings. He had a very hard life, with very cruel and evil people hurting him, but he is hopefully happy now, as he is Loved.
Or he could be having the time of his life lol
Lol every otangutan have face like that
@@gabutmax451 broe seriously
@@schoolboy6706 im serious
01:58 that face of " Are you done? Can you leave me alone already ?"
bunnyfreakz lol
bunnyfreakz of
1:57: My reaction everytime my mom do that to me.
haha
Lmao
Joueuse de la Cave lmaoo
Joueuse de la Cave 😂😂
Lmfao 😂
What a magnificent animal. I couldn't believe she could be so close to him. Amazing.
Poor fella
Orangutans - the original gingers.
As a ginger, I approve of this comment
Hey, are U UkrainianWeeg from TheYNC?
Ginger evolved from orangutas.
This is incredibly offensive! How dare you suggest Orangutans have no soul!!!
Hence the name Ranga
1:58 "Really? Stop petting me..."
I just love her!! Her love and passion for these amazing animals is such a pleasure to watch!!
His kind eyes😭
I think that theses more than amazing animals should be treated how people are respected, thankful and much more
1:56 That smile with his teeth is just so adorable :D
He's so beautiful. Very handsome.
Hurcules is my favorite
Same here.
Hercules,you are so beautiful. I'm so happy there are individuals that care for these awesome creations.
Proud to be Danish :-). I am glad that Lone helps Hercules back to his natural environment.
Diadema033 Haha I heard the world was mad at us for doing that. Where you from?
this is the way to shelter primates for conservation. Give them their own island. They can't get loose into the wild and get into trouble with poachers, but they still have a huge natural environment so they can actually be free.
Really hope Hercules will be able to climb a tree again, God bless him!
Lone is such an angel. i wake up at 5am every morning to watch her and her incredible work.
He"s looking at her like...stop telling all my business...you talk too much and you don't know everything...lol
This lady is my heroine, thank you for doing such an amazing job, and thanks to the BBC for sharing this!
They be sitting there like lvl 999 wizards
Herc's an absolute *dude.*
His eyes are so much like a human´s
thanks to all of you that help out the orangs, your doing a great job, its nice to know that he is getting out and roaming, and that your checking up on him making sure he is safe, warms my heart
He's very sweet look at his expression
2:07 kind of looks like will ferrell here lol. I love orangutans, the babies are so adorable and the old folks like hercules here are so majestic, their faces, the way their brightly coloured hair grows and flows off their arms... so beautiful. I would love to go to Borneo one day!
He is so gorgeous and friendly!
And... Free At Last!!!
We can only wish him to make the best out of it, as he deserves!
Words aren’t known to me to describe the admiration I have for this lady and the others who rescue these beautiful beings. ❤️❤️❤️
1:50 "god.. someone shut her up already" Hercules thought
yougonasorry I choked
Oh poor dear Hercules, I’m ashamed of the people who did this 😢
I adore orangutans, they have so much expression in their eyes. I spent some time talking to the orangutans in my local zoo and the orangutan looked so sad, even though she was taking an interest in everything, her keeper explained that they have no facial muscles. I really hope they don’t become extinct.
1:59
That smile is so wholesome
I think that's a smile at least.
He was like "Dang it,woman,I almost had ya!" XD
He's so big and magestic and yet he seems so calm and collected!
I love her, I can see why he would want to drag her around the island for days lol.
Incredible work these people do, rescuing and caring for the orangutans, not just when they are babies, but long after💖💖💖
Just an update, as of June 2022 Hercules plus some orangutans that have some rehabilitation issues like disabilities/trauma have been released to their own protected island in Busang Ecosystem
MAURICE?!
Run.
LOL. Where is Caesar?
He's out in the back running around
frantically yelling " No " to everyone.
Daryl Stewart hell yeah!
Looks way to fake to be Maurice xD
Im aint gonna lie but i linda started to tear up a bit
Hercules I believe is a Borneo Orangutan. They really are gentle giants. I knew one at the Bronx Zoo named Briggs. At lunch I’m I would visit him. He had escaped once, but didn’t do too much damage to the ape house. There was also a Sumatran Orangutan names Toba. She was sooo gentle. Likes to untie my shoelaces. Amazing apes ❤
Notice the eyes of orangutans babies and adults are different. The little ones have such innocent big eyes.
At 1:59...Hercules be like " why do u hoomans always spoil our hairstyle"
It's amazing how much they look like us..
well their DNA is 97% similar to humans (with chimps its close to 99%) We all share the same ancestor species from millions of years ago, so its amazing to think how we evolved so differently from our "cousins" yet share much of the exact same DNA :D
Balnazzardi we didn’t evolve from shit
@@MURDASQUADRETURN uhh yes we did? While we didn't evolve from monkeys we did evolve AS homo sapiens, we obviously evolved with technology and other things like it, don't be stupid
KevonTheDon always a religious nutjob
The most chill between the 3 apes, gorilla always make a sudden moves with that big body and chimps... NGIK!!! NGIK!!! NGIK!!! NGIK!!! NGIK!!!
Their eyes are so human
I love him
Orangutan : just chilling bro!
I knew a male adult orangutan at the Bronx Zoo. Magnificent friendship for me.
He acts like such a gentleman.
SDD525 he is a man
Well, good thing that took away a cage environment, but how about build a rain shelter for him as he had suffered and crippled. At least he could sit in his dome and enjoy the rest of his life as compensation.
This wouldn't be a problem if these people didn't enslave these innocent creatures. They forced him to be in that cage long before he was injured.
This lady she threw all she has and her career to help orangutan in Indonesia, and she is one of the foreign hero in indonesia .
Hercules the crippled. What a charmer
1:58 don't you dare touch me again!
hahahaha
He looks like Maurice from the Planet of the Harambe series!
DAY-V Entertainment™ I love Maurice 😭😭😭😭
These people love them as cute babies then keep them in a cage when they get older and massive. Poor guys. They're gentle giants.
What a cute!!!!!!!!
Maurice
how could one of these beautiful, gentle creatures ever have fathered trump?
My man looks fed up, especially at the end of the video
If I could, I'd give that lady a big hug.
Poor old guy.
its a she
He is a he not a she
@@zakf8434 They named him Hercules that's a Males name also the females do not have the facial structures like that
He reminds me of a wise old man
Yeah he looks like a wise old Chinese Kung Fu master
Wise old ginger man
Bobby Hill God damn it bobby
@Pappy Van Winkle You remind me of a dumb fat troll
Team Maurice
God bless you and the others for ur loving work!
They have such soulful eyes
I dont Know how I Land here but I like urang utans xD
Bruh, why smelling Orangutans 😂
I think they normally smell awful in captivity. Ever smelled the primate house at the zoo? She's commenting on how he's not a stinky fucker now that he's out in the rain and sun and fresh air.
Orangutan is so calm and cute.
Hercules is BEAUTIFUL !!!
Chewbaka's crippled brother
Maurice?
Hercules is the most sweetest orangutan ever.
He's like chewbacca but more chill
This makes me so sad 😭😭😭😭
I searched up “Guy eating giant orange” and got this😭
I hope this woman knows shes got the support and praise of a lot of people.
He looks like my old room mate high. So chill, and calm.
stop cageing these soulful animals, they are worth more that us since we are 9 billion or something.
I agree, but how are Orangutans worth more than us? We humans are so intelligent and have such a large mental capacity we are capable of critical and logical thinking and have become the dominant species, and now you're going to say Orangutans are worth *more* than us just because they are animals and we are humans?
Most zoos have endangered species so they will be able to release them one day. And zoos are actually very nice places for animals because they have a place to live with no predators, also they are very educational for young children instead of looking them up on the internet they actually get to see them. Have a nice day :)
+Jordan.izquierdo, well it depends on the zoo. Some zoos are good, some zoos are bad. It's like the human race. Some are good, some are bad. Only the *good* zoos are the acceptable ones. But the ones that do stuff like keeping animals in tiny cages and doing shit like that? No way.
Every single great ape will get bored in a zoo, even ones born in captivity, this is a known thing. It's not ideal.
1:57
Orangutan : really bruh?, don't embarrassed like that
They always remind me of Poe. I heard that they are the strongest primates, even stronger than gorillas.
Most great apes are humble creatures...what the hell happened to humans?...but most humans are good too but a little ignorant
*****
Exactly.However we are educate,and trained like destroy nature,like love money,like harm different people and like run to get fucked illuminance gadget and toys its mean for $Y$TEM.Modern "human" fascinated marketing and career plus money cult is completele idiot who degradate nature-own mother nature,which give life!!!.Noone animal dont kill for money,for greed,for religion,for tyrany,slavery,So where is "civilisation", "culture",and superiority of white human???Noone animal dont pollute planet like human.But for modern techno-humans most important are massmedia than real life,coexistence,symbiosis.Modern human is so intelectually limited,retarded,resistant,that he will do evereything for money.
*****
Noone have interest to educate us as social people,who able to respect people and nature.We have to be egoist.no empathy,no responsibilty,no awareness,no dyginty,no honour,no value.We have cultivate money/religion and no more and fascinate corporation shit.We have to be empty,no emotion,no empathy,no human needs and relations.
@Strength of the Wild Is killing a neighouring chimp tribe necessary or not? You call also find a video where a group of chimps torture a racoon just for pleasure. So stop this "animals are not cruel" bullshit.
@Strength of the Wild So by your logic, neither humans, nor animals are cruel?
@Strength of the Wild RUclips "Chimps vs racoon", this is definitely not done because the racoon is a threat. I see no difference between human cruel behaviour and this behaviour exhibited by chimps. If you look better, you can see even more cruel chimp videos. They are not that different from humans after all. A donkey is more different from a horse compared to humans and chimps.
MAURICE!!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I wish I could give Hercules a hug
I love that orangutans have the concept of a romantic walk.
Can he live with me in the Forrest
"run"
That woman makes me feel good that she is looking after Hercules.
This woman and her team rescued “Pony”- look it up. For that, I am obliged to donate to their foundation for the rest of my life.
