Orangutan seen treating wound with pain relieving plant in first for wild animals

An orangutan has been seen treating a wound using a plant with known pain-relieving properties, marking the first known instance of a wild animal deliberately tending to its injuries with medicine.
Researchers in Indonesia documented a male Sumatran orangutan with a facial wound repeatedly applying sap from a plant with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties that’s long been used in traditional medicine.
The ape also covered its wound with a mesh made from the plant’s leaves, suggesting that treatment of wounds with medicine may have arisen in a common ancestor shared by humans and apes.
Self-medication by ingesting plant parts is widely seen across animal species, but treatment of wounds with a specific biologically active substance has not been documented previously.

It didn't apply anything to the wound whatsoever.
Slap the word "scientific", "research", "study" on nearly anything, and people just blindly believe, and swallow ot whole.
This creature did no such thing.
They have hours and hours of video footage of this thing, and supposedly saw it "applying" the medicinal plant to it's wound....yet didn't bother to record it.
Right.
I've seen so much footage of this thing taken over many hours and days, each video claims the same thing, yet none actually have footage of it.
Just believe them. They "saw" it.
