Orangutan - Man Of The Forest HD

  • Orangutans are the largest arboreal mammal in the world, living and sleeping in trees. They travel with ease through the canopy, rarely descending to the forest floor. They are wholly dependent on tropical rain forests for their survival. In 1900, there were about 315,000 orangutans in the world. Today, only a few biologically viable populations remain. Primarily, their diet consists of fruit, although they eat leaves, seeds, tree bark, plant bulbs, tender plant shoots, and flowers.
    Orangutans are the slowest breeding of all primates, having the longest inter-birth interval of all land-based mammals - almost 8 years. After a gestation period of 8-1/2 months, the female will have her first baby at age 12 -- 15. She will give birth to about 3 babies in her lifetime of 50 years or more. Mothers care for their young until age 8 or nine, when they are encouraged to go off on their own.
    As forests are clear-cut on a massive scale, the number of orangutans killed and the number of infants making their way into captivity or rehabilitation centers is increasing. Perhaps their ability to adapt to human nurturing is a silent call for help. Perhaps we should heed their call.

      @@pomponi0 In some ways you are correct. Before human intervention destroyed their homes, Orangutans were very solitary apes, unlike Chimps who live in complex groups. However now that Orangutans are orphaned by poachers and plantation owners they are forced to grow up in groups or classes. The bonds that used to only be with Mom are now with a "family" unit. They seek comfort and safety in other Orangutans. As it turns out they can live quite well in a group. They adapted to our interference. Young Orangutans are EXTREMELY vocal. Extremely social. They NEED another Orangutan for support, comfort, and safety. That was Mom's job. Now even Mother's in these groups are social. It's amazing how they have bonded.

    I went to the zoo today, and was able to "meet" one big orangutan male. He had such expressive eyes. I sat down next to the viewing window for a long time and just kind of felt what it was like to be inches away from such an amazing creature.
    Being there made me wonder what we've done (as humans) to make this world a place where intelligent animals, that should be ruling the forest, are locked in tiny observatory cells.

      Going to the zoo makes me sad.. As an avian expert, I rarely see birds in zoos that have adequate space or stimulation.. I'm not some kind of animal rights nut either. I simply believe that if you choose to keep exotics you have to offer the basics. Judging by the birds I'd assume that most zoos cut corners with other fauna as well..

    I see many videos online about people who have orangutans for the soul purpose of keeping them as a pet. They show themselves tucking them in at bedtime, bringing them to family's home for holidays, dressing them up but could you imagine when they reach the size of that huge male just roaming around the house? Those people don't get that they are wild animals and not cute and cuddly when they get this big. .

      They get it; they just don't give a damn because when they get too big, they abandon them so that they don't have to deal with it. They'll just send them off to some place to have to live in a cage for the rest of their poor, miserable lives. If they're lucky they'll end up at a rehabilitation camp, while they're still young and small enough to not be such a huge threat to humans, to learn the skills needed to be a free living orangutan but if they get too old or too big before they get to the rehabilitation camp, they'll end up on one of the orangutan islands with no hope of ever being completely free.

      0l3àß3 8 implore every one that wants too do something great send a check for even 5.00 a month. It is one of the few organizations that uses all the donations for the animals just on them. I chose the borneo nyaru menteng branch because it is fartherest away from civilation which means those iñvolved have a harder time raising funds. It's a geographic thing. They also have an extensive rehab pr9gram before release back into the wild, if for instance a animal can't be returned to the wild, it lives it's remainder of its life in a special area in the sanctuary where it is safe and it's needs are taken care of not locked in a cage.

    Actually, it is more important not to humanize orangutans or they will be dependent on humans too much so eco-tourism should not allow direct contact with orangutans so that they can still remain "wild" and adapt better in the forest when released. This is the reason why some sanctuaries are better at releasing orangutans back to their natural habitat compared to those who allow humans to interact too much with orangutans.

    • @whatevergoesforme5129
      @whatevergoesforme5129 3 года назад +1

      If they are not afraid and wary of humans, then they will catch diseases from humans, become too dependent on humans for food and shelter, and even trust poachers. Plus, even though they are not as aggressive as other great apes, they are territorial and their strength can hurt humans.

      They are not cousins you freak. Lettuce has more DNA than these abortions. Why don't you have a salad and meet your cousins.
      Here are some facts by scientist whose job doesn't rely on PR. > Findings of Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior. The studies were recently published in eLife. Date of news: 12 May 2020 "Our DNA is 98% similar to that of apes, so you’d think that people resemble this species of monkeys. Yet we are very different", Mars explains. “No less than 80% of the subcortical striatum of humans could NOT be found in the animal brain. Those are areas that are important in people for things like language processing and social cognition. Although apes and macaques are a lot more like us, the differences between humans and monkeys are also larger than previously thought. The connections and areas in the brain of monkeys were thought to be quite similar, but slightly smaller. “The connections between brain regions have changed due to evolution. Especially the fasciculus arcuatus, a bundle of connective nerve fibers important for the processing of language, is connected to many more areas in humans than in macaques, and apes.” When I pulled together the lists of pathogens and parasites of apes (derived from a list provided by Charlie Nunn and his collaborators) and a list of those of humans, I was in for a surprise . Most of the parasites and pathogens of humans are NOT found in apes or monkeys. We have many of the same parasites and pathogens as primates, but they lack nearly all of those found in us. From the perspective of the genes of parasites and pathogens, humans and apes are NOT similar at all.😲😟😩😱🤪😵😂🤣🤣

We are stewards of our planet, and owe it to these beings to not destroy their habitat in the name of junk food. It’s fuckin sad you even defend it.

    Very well documented and constructed short film. I was particularly amazed by how comfortable these wild and majestic Orangutan’s were within a humans presence. As well as how eager those Orangutan’s appeared who seemingly wanted to go up and play/ investigate every human who were at the camp where they came to feed daily at. I would love to see a follow up short film/ documentary as to what is currently happening in the Orangutan’s rain forest habitat. However based on what was explained in your short film regarding the Orangutan’s territory and how their government just approved the destruction of so much of their habitat to start farming. I would imagine that a follow up short film would be quite depressing to see how much of their habitat has been destroyed. As well as how saddening it would be to see even more Orangutan’s that have lost their life due to Man’s destructive nature.
    Please make a follow up documentary but only if there seems to be a happy ending! Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your amazing adventure!!!

    If you could read Vietnamese ....
    Tui đề nghị Việt Nam ta tạo một vườn quốc gia giúp bảo toàn và phát triển giống Orangutan (Orang-Utan) nầy và một số loài vật có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng khác, đồng thời làm nơi du lịch, nghiên cứu khoa học, giúp Đất nước Việt Nam thêm phong phú, sinh động, hấp dẫn.

    May I ask how a trip like this cost you, I know it has to be a small fortune, during the visit is that the norm seeing the orangs running around the camp the ones that come back to visit they are so habituated to humans, it's up in the air which sanctuary I would like to visit either loyola bonobo or this place maybe both

      mike johnson to rent a klotok (the local wooden boat) in Tanjung Puting from Pangkalan Bun (the starting point) can cost 2,5 million rupiah to 4 million rupiah (equal to 200 USD to 350 USD) per boat to 2 days 1 night journey (sleep on boat, and including meals,and you can share the price with other people if you have group max 4 people). can be more if you choose for longer itinerary. but then again, it also depends on boat you will choose, the more luxurious the pricier it can be. For comparison, you can also choose for Bukit Lawang area, in North Sumatera. but in Bukit Lawang, you need to trek up to the jungle,not on boat, and camp in the jungle. The price for 2 days 1 night trekking (porter,guide,meals included) is around 1,5 million rupiah to 2 million rupiah (120 USD to 180 USD)depends on the trek and where you book the tour. i did the Tanjung Puting,and it costs me around 1200 USD including all my flight tickets. and it was a very memorable journey i will never forget. visit before they extinct.

    13:09 if u r a mother you cannot help but relate to the human intimacy for breastfeeding your baby. The tender touch of babies fingers on your cheek. These beautiful creatures share 97% of our DNA. They are severely endangered by massive burning of rainforest in Indonesia and Malaysia for palm oil plantations. It is genocide. Please help! Sumofus.org are doing amazing work and activism to save these and other rainforest special in SE Asia. Please visit their site and donate.

    And yet, palm oil demand has skyrocketed, thus killing off ever more habitat and the primates that live there. Palm oil is in thousands of products, some of them in your house right now. This was filmed in 2008, so imagine what the forest looks like in 2018!

      We need to get. Our priorities straight with all the millions of people around the world that are suffering and in desperate need of resources like food, medicine, shelter, mental health services,etc. So why we are still wasting valuable time and resources on these useless, hideous apes. Let's pull our heads out of our rear ends this year and try stopping more teen suicides,and depression, help homeless single parents, traumatized vets ,etc. Enough with this bullshit. another school shooting is just around the corner folks but let's worry about a bunch of useless apes! Yeah that will fix things!!
