      It is a held belief that they can communicate with us but choose not to because they think we will put them to work.

      “Orangutan” literally translates to “person of the forest” derived from orang (person) and hutan (forest).

      And strangely they’re the only ones who are solitary. All other great apes are incredibly social.

      That is so cool how they’ve pretty much figured out some form of sign language.

      He is straight up miming the actions of throwing and eating. He’s “talking” alright and, even thousands of miles away, I understand what he’s trying to say. Wow.

      At first I legit thought he was attempting a Darth Vader force choke hold.

      If I could swing through the trees and live off fruit like an orangutan, I wouldn’t go to work either

      I can translate.

      “Dude what the fuck are you doing here”
      “Move that shit on, I’m trying to eat”
      “Dude, over there. Plenty of river”
      “Goddamnit whatever man”

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video of an orangutan in nature before. It is kind of surreal. Like I know they are wild animals, but also I can’t imagine how they exist in the wild.

      This is some awesome footage. Been on Borneo and Sumatra deep in the jungle for about 3 weeks in total. Just saw the orang utans only far away up in the trees. Still was magical.

      I always find it funny how non human animals seem to catch things with ease. Their hands seem to predict the trajectory so quickly making it look like stuff just falls in them. Bears too. Whereas husband seem to calculate when the item is near. Just me?

      Dude just hangs out in the river bend waiting for tourists to throw him food. He’s got it figured out
