@@RyRy2057 it came out around 2 weeks ago. My high school anatomy teacher sent me that article when it first came out and since then, people have been talking to me about the new orangutan finding because everyone knows how much I love them.
Fun fact, as referenced at the end of the video many cultures that grew around orangutans have legends that they are actually capable of human speech but avoid doing so around people so that they won't be forced to work. Honestly? That's fair.
Orangutans don't talk because they really don't want to pay taxes. They know enough about our systems of government to know that its not something they want to be involved with.
Fun Fact: Humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas all have sweat glands, but orangutans lack them. The branch that would include the orangutans branched off our evolutionary tree before we evolved sweat glands.
I want to add some very minor information : ) Orangutans near research centre in Borneo sometimes like to imitate human bipedal stance, and sometimes even does bipedal walking on the ground. I am pretty sure it's uncomfortable for them to do that, but they do it for the lolz anyway. This is something that their Sumatran counterpart can't have as much, even if they are intrigued by how human walk. Because of...well...Tigers.
8:45 I like the little detail of using the leaf as a way of tending to his wound. Orangutans actually do this, and this behavior was documented recently with an Orangutan who had an injury in the same spot the one in the video had. Great reference!
Not new as a research team in Borneo saw a few wild orangutans doing the same thing once and a BBC crew captured one orangutan doing it while filming a 2020 documentary. Oddly enough, the indigenous ppl of Borneo also heal wounds and pain with the same plant so you have to wonder, who taught who??
Brilliant storytelling in this one! I love that this strays away from the often overused trope of orangutans being just passive victims of habitat loss and adapting to the influx of humans.
@@lokiserpentem8534 species of hominid, not human. Humans are homo-sapien, denisovians are not homo-sapiens. If you wanna make a deeper philosophical argument for what defines a human. But semantically, they are not humans.
Tbh I'm as sad though that non other homonid species pulled through to enter our modern age with us. Even though the racism against them would probably be...harsh. But Especially something like neanderthals or those smaller island hominids would have been so cool to have around
That's actually not a recent discovery as a Borneo research team saw a few wild orangutans doing the same thing while on a study trip and a BBC crew filmed one doing it for a 2020 documentary. Funny thing is that the indigenous Dyak people use the same plant for healing wounds and pain so the question is did orangutans learn from humans or the other way around, as both species learn by copying.
If other animals displayed the intelligence required to be forced into labor, you damn well know humans would do it. So, pretty accurate punchline at the end.
These videos are very entertaining, and interesting/informative. I love biology and it's really cool to see the life cycle of specific species. Keep it up!
i didn't know they ate fish. very educational. i would give him my hat. i like how you included the legends about them. we appreciate all the research you do. i liked how the mating females had lipstick and dresses instead of wigs this time and thought it was very funny how the different ones just have different colored lipstick.
I've been watching a few of your videos and the comedy is not lost in the story telling. There are other channels doing similar but yours I prefer the most.
I honestly thought you'd include another reference, "You see a human cleaning a pond full of snakes. You think he's stupid, so you offered to pull him out of that pond. He looks at you awkwardly and ignores you, probably thinking your arms are too strong for his."
Could we get a video about gorillas? You know, just to round out the great apes. And before anyone asks, I don’t think a video about bonobos would be able to be on RUclips without an age restriction.
Ive never realised the ammount of easter eggs in his videos such and when the orangutan got his cheek ripped off and then applied leafs to it just like the actual thing that happened and... most obvious ones such as the one driving the golf cart and sailing the boat

Depends on whether you want to be a male or female. If you're a male, you get the short end of the stick and have to study and get a good job just to survive and have to fend for themselves and the legal system is always built against you (unless you're in the arab nations). Also, you're physically, mentally and intellectually better compared to the other genders but you'll most likely be down played by the other genders who think all are equal and will be treated like a commodity than a human being (Fun Fact: other genders prefer to be with a bear than a male). If you're a female, you can pick a successful male to be your partner and live off of him under his protection and earnings. Also, you get the added power to scream at anyone and get scratch free from a lot of the things that the male will end up in a confinement called Prison. The downside is that you will probably get mauled if you do a 1v1 with a male. There is another gender called transgender for humans, which can be unlocked by any of the other two genders. In this form, you can have all the features of the other genders at the same time, if you wish. Mating depends on the choice of females and males are chosen based on different factors, but mainly how much rectangular paper, also known as money, that a male has and earns, and also on the things that a male owns by trading that rectangular paper (the more rectangular paper it costs the more appealing and better chance of being picked). The rectangular papers can be obtained by doing things for others of your species, known as Jobs/ work, where the male counterpart spends the majority of their life doing whereas the female counterpart rarely does in the life time.
I love how they show the fruit that are native to my country Malaysia or either Indonesia since the Orangutans live in Borneo or Sumatra like Rambutan the red fruit, Durian spiky green fruit and Grapefruit
I am torn for what my favourite part of these videos is: the narrator’s incredibly bored and lifeless voice, or the great animation and comedy choices!

Orangutan is similar to Orang Hutan (pronounced very similar minus the space, too) in Indonesian language which literally means Jungle People
That’s where the word ‘Orangutan’ comes from, it’s a combination of the two.
Worst part of orangutans is they used to be all over Asia. Unfortunately, some humans and denisovians saw them as a food source…

That "Bending nature to your will" bit actually caught me off guard good one
Guess now we just need a video on Gorillas to finish the "Ape Trilogy"
And a video on Grizzlys to finish the "Bear Trilogy"
flawed logic, he didn't do the short faced black bear
Missing the gibbon
Crazy to think all of these videos are narrated by the orangutan (he found out how to make content)
keep making these their making the depression go away
At 8:44 was a nice little reference to that one male orangutan who was spotted rubbing herbs on his damage faced which later healed completely
8:44 is a reference to a recent discovery about Orangutans using plants/herbs to heal wounds.

"Your tolerates for social interactions has hit a record low" - never have I related more to an animal
