You should see a therapist

+Alexis White what's your problem?

Capitalism.

I bet if someone called you that 'your name' you would get mad and accuse the of racist

You really believe that none of us besides you see this?

Oh sttfu dumbass

++Steve Laurent -- Yes, it's great. But it's pretty laid back at this rehab since there are only 46 animals. Others on Borneo have upwards of over 600 orangutans at one time!!!!!

Steve Laurent x this is amazen

Great idea lets all thank god shall we thank you god!

Fake pic for a fake man

Yeah they put out alot of good reporting and documentaries.

Definitely. Al-Jazeera does actual documentary journalism. Vice is just sensationalistic clickbait trash at this point.

I'll watch & will support any network who supports wildlife conservation!!

Animal odd couples

Helping them by condemning them to die at half their normal lifespan! Un real!

And yet here you are...still

Me to I love the orangatan

John Smith maybe they are a minor? Why you gotta be so snarky dude?

It would be an honour to have the opportunity to leave the world as I know it all behind just so I could experience being around Orangutans as a volunteer simply for the love of the amazing animal that I dread to think that one day they could be no more😞 so sad

Me as well . I've been dreaming about orangutans for months now . If the borders were not closed due to covid I would already be there

That still gave you an hour and a half. Plenty of time. I hope your flight was safe. I'm so afraid to fly. I don't know why as it is the safest way to travel.

Yes! That is so me also!😂

@Old King Crow, I hate flying as well. My second to last flight we taxied out to the runway. They got the engines started, we started to roll and just before we lifted off of the ground, the pilot slammed on the breaks. He immediately came on and said all the emergency lights just came on so we needed to go around. Silly me thinking going around meant to maintenance since something is obviously wrong. Aparently a go around means back to the runway for a second attempt to take off. I was convinced, at that very moment, I was going to die. I started to have a panic attack but remembered what my husband said. If I get scared, look at other passengers. If they're not nervous or screaming, chances are, you're going to be ok. I had a connecting flight after that one and I haven't and won't fly again.

Letter Head im from indonesia. i love orang utan.

Same I have watched many more than once.

You should follow a lot of organizations helping orangutans on Facebook! They post all sorts of awesome videos as well as up to date information :).

I love the Orang Oetan they are so sweet and I am so happy this people care for them!

I hear you, I am addicted to watching these videos! I love these little guys(and of course the wonderful people caring for them). Maybe people like us should start an online petition (s) to send to all the companies that buy palm oil from Indonesia. And to other Indonesian government agencies/international oversight agencies. A concerted effort boycott on companies that use palm oil COULD make a difference- it worked with Nestle!

I don’t think praise from others means anything to the”orang” whisperer”. What matters to him is how much we work and pay to accomplish similar goals on our home- planet earth. Bless you on your personal journey.😊❤💫.

,,,,see there are some good people there.

@Pappy Van Winkle you again. You need a heart transplant but I guess it is your brain that fails.

You r lucky to have them.

Isn't cute more like how your load looks ?

What part of this is cute!?

Diwata

It’s a wonderful topic! How to go forward in 2023 giving our home the time and money to build and nourish a sustainable home for our sacred co-habitators , and our children!

Women abort babies all the time. What are you talking about?

To answer the extinction question - Indonesian children can actually have a financial future like the British and American kids because their parents jobs won't be constantly protested over these hideous useless apes!! We need to ge 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!!

The bonobo is our closet relative aside from sasquacth, got it silverback?

@Baghuul: It seems to vary with the resource you consult, but the chimps and bonobos share about 98.6 % of our DNA, orangutans about 97%, and gorillas about 96%.

@@BestPlconEarth50 Silverback?? You toilet seat complexioned cave beast!

Live responsibly if you want to help orangs. They don't need you over there taking poor local citizens jobs

Donate to legitimate sanctuaries. They will need $ to keep the forest intact so the wild orangutans can live without human contact. The man said they are not suited for captivity, that should say it all.

Come to Sumatra or Borneo. Live in the jungle with Orang Utans and take part in conservation. Make RU-vid videos to spread awareness about Orang Utans's life. Before that, you have to understand that living in a jungle is not easy especially living with Mosquitos. They will suck your blood and eat you alive. Lol. Especially in Borneo, there's very small mosquito, we call it Agas, it's so small even mosquito net is no use to protect you. Insect repelent will do the job as long as you aren't alergic to it.

Pappy Van Winkle I think your words make you expose your own idiocy,your brain is probably half the size of a small apple

Pomponivs Archibald you are silly but I see your humour .it,s hard to be funny when you,re so angry at the poachers for sure

They do it for humans. It's called prison

Yes, and many others. There are 5-6 that have been running sizable rescue centers for several years. I think Birute Galdikas might be the longest running program there now. She started over there about 40-50 years ago, one of the oldest (if not the oldest) mammalian rescue centers and groups of habituated wild Orangs in the world. Amazing people all doing very difficult and taxing working that really takes a lot of strength and fortitude.

Enough PJ go brush your teeth and hit the sack! (go to bed)

PJ Lanzatella Sumatran and Bornean orangutans are two different species. Both critically-endangered, the Sumatran more than the Bornean.

Yeah they have to rotate care takers, not show excessive affection or play too much (with the exception of newborn to about 1 year old), and then when they start puberty they are taught to fear humans. If they aren't raised perfectly they end up being rescued multiple times. They actually have been microchipping them now so they can monitor them after release and have a better hand on holding people accountable if they harm them.

Instablaster

Nope. They are pretty dumb.
