A routine release of an adult male orangutan takes a dangerous turn as the enraged primate turns on his release team. From the Series: Orangutan Jungle School: A Whole New World bit.ly/3494vhQ
Something I Learned The Hard Way Growing Up, And My Grandfather (RIP) Use To Say To Me, Whenever I Thought I Was Feeling Tough, Lol. "There Will Always Be Someone Bigger & Stronger Then You Out There". Something This New Orangutan Might Have Learn The Hard Way, Now In The Wild.
they're very territorrial.. very much like us, each individual has it own character. a teenage orangutan brain is equal to kindergarten kids, and of course they can't talk and more poweerful than human
Not a chance that cage with the orangutang was hundreds of kilos. I'd put that at 100 kilos tops. Based on the way the cages moved by the humans and flipped near the boats, and the size of the orangutangs.
Though it seems hard and ungrateful it really is the best that could happen, demonstrating these individuals are ready for and should be released in the wild. Wishing all of them the best of luck and happiness in their new freedom.
Strange that anyone would consider this "being ungrateful" as humans systematically destroy the orangutans' habitat for hair care products and junk food. They owe us nothing.
“Well, animals are a lot like people. Some of them act badly because they’ve had a hard life or have been mistreated. But, like people, some of them are just jerks."
you're welcome. this is a pre-released island... let's say a final exam. if they pass this test (survived in remote island) they will release to the their home.
He was just demonstrating everyone's frustrations over current travel accommodations mixups. His booking ticket confirmation was for first class with a window seat.
No, it was because Jerry had been attacked hours prior by an entirely different orangutan who started flipping the cages (including Jerry's). They're saying, "Welp, that's another one!"
Or on a road trip and the driver insists on not stopping. I prefer a brief stop every 2 or 3 hours. Six hours, even in a comfortable vehicle, is too long.
This is just further proof of their incredible human like intelligence. To Jerry, the cage is little more than a weapon used against the orangutans. A mindless creature would just run away upon being released, but Jerry wanted to destroy the cage, so it couldn't be wielded against him again.
EXACTLY, They should have let the Alpha of the group out first, it was an insult to his place to have to wait... I totally got that too.. Pure frustration!
@@WoodysAR Dude, what? Orangutan males are solitary creatures, they don't have any social structures whatsoever. This is just a cringe comment from a child who thinks he's an alpha male.
If you work with wildlife anywhere in the world, that’s literally the dream. You want any wild animal to be wild in every sense. It heightens chances of survival, and strengthens the species overall
Oh god, I remember this episode. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. This really drives home how dangerous and powerful orangutans can be, which I tend to forget when watching cute and playful youngsters.
That’s amazing, how it was able to express its anger so clearly. As opposed to other animals that bark/whine/yelp etc and we sometimes struggle to understand their needs.
"None of you seem to understand...I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me." I've got a cat who'll do this with a carrier, so I get it, brother.
It’s like the real life version of the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland, where the apes take over the research site lol. In all seriousness, I hope these beautiful creatures are happy, and most of all safe. They deserve it.
I watched an amazing documentary on orangutans a long time ago .. It featured this one particular Orangutan that liked riding around in a tow truck oddly enough .. Taught me everything I needed to know about these amazing creatures ..
Man, he was man-handling those cages like they were toys - now imagine the power of a Sasquatch 8ft tall & 4ft wide at the shoulders! (yes, they are real)
@@kindredspiritzz66 let's see - fossil record, eyewitness accounts, both historical and modern, from all over the world(including legal affidavits, under penalty of perjury), witnesses from every demographic, including law enforcement, judicial, military, etc. hundreds of First Nations tribe's history dating back literally thousands of years, physical evidence & a 100+ sample DNA study... You are woefully uninformed.
@@TonyHookedonVanlife and yet no pictures, no authentic video of one, not even on trail cameras which are widely used now. You probably believe in Nessy and that the election was rigged as well
As for sasquatch, it's a mythical creature with no evidence yet of their actual existence except for footprints and sightings, accounts from witnesses that are questionable to a degree or extent.
Jerry's intelligence and his instinctive reaction is, spot on! He knows better than to trust the, human animal species and glad to see them leave. Don't blame him.
Pretty amazing the strength these relatively small orangutans have to roll a big solid steel cage around like a that, wow. Imagine what a large alpha can do.
Always thought these were gentle creatures, laid back and non violent. Perhaps, even with the best of intentions, we sometimes meddle too much with wild life.
"Clyde" was beaten & otherwise mal-treated in order to film those movies. Clint may think it's humorous to speak to an empty "obamachair", but tolerating animal abuse is unconscionable.
@@carolwilliams7052 I had no idea about that, I was just making an observation based on the film. I am horrified to discover that this cruelty occurred.
I saw a documentary, whereby they slowly introduced the orangutans to the island, by going back and forth a few times. This was to introduce them to the new environment before releasing them permanently. So they aren't just dumped there.
I mean it's a pretty good thing to get into right as you're being released, I feel like that one is probably going to be the boss of that group and he'll probably do a fine job.
