This Orangutan Friendship Will Melt Your Heart 🥰 Orangutan Jungle School | Smithsonian Channel 

The idea that two disabled animals would make up each other’s shortcomings was extremely moving

Nobody better than the people running these sanctuaries

I can't believe the owner just put him back in his cage, he must have been in excruciating pain. I can't understand. I just can't. 💔 I'm happy he's adapted so well.

That sweet old thang rolling down the hill is just making me cry my eyes out. What a beautiful little story. They are just perfect for each other!

2:10 The moment he climbed up the tree, that got me. Sometimes animals can give a lot of inspiration to us, if we feel sometimes that we can't do something.

I hope the owner was prosecuted after leaving him in so much pain for a week.

I have not stopped watching this beautiful jungle school. Orangutans have become my favorite species. I love them so much.

It’s a relief to know Kopral is living a happy life now and also have a friend. These people are like angels taking care of these sweet animals.

Shelton : "Hey buddy, I feel bad for your arm . . " Kopral : "Nahh, as long I have a family, I'll be happy the rest of my life"

These Orangutans are impressive they’re able to find new ways to survive Orangutans are incredible

It just AMAZES ME that animals can't speak. But they SHOW MORE COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING THAN MOST HUMANS.

This literally brought me to tears. These poor innocent babies. I’m so happy he’s doing fine and living his best lofe

It made me in tears that how this innocent faced a lot due to human greed but still god is there to help him and made him happy with this organisation.a lot of love from India.

I love how he rolls! Its so cute

Kopral's story is a testimony of crimes of humanity against animals, I'm asking for your forgiveness

Life always finds a way :)

Kopral is now my motivation to keep on living each day at the best ❤️

Is Kopral allowed in Sheltons cage? Thank you for caring for these amazing forest people.

Tears in eyes while we question what it means to be a "human being " .

Who else felt relieved after seeing Kopral could use his feet to grab food.

“If you can’t crawl, you roll” probably he thought

So amazing how he can get around like that I can't believe he can climb the trees

He was kept in his owner's backyard..... you mean his abuser's backyard?

I’ll tell you what, this shows having a disability does not define you! Korpral tooting while he’s rolling around has me cracking up!

The kindliness of these two buddies are an excellent model for resilience and true friendship. Thank you for posting this..

Well, human are more beast than animal. This is a great inspiration story.

If you have one True Friend, you are very very blessed.

That rang has more spirit in his stub than I’ll ever have in my whole existence

How sweet, his friend gave up his comfortable seat and volunteered to hang on tight to the trunk so he would have a place to sit 🤗🤧😭

2:28 looks like Kopral uses the link roll to get around faster.

Man my homies gon think im softer than they already did cuz im crying rn

Kopral means Corporal in Indonesia. Truly a soldier at heart.

That made me cry. I'm so glad they have each other.

Funny how animals always forgive!

Kopral would have ruled the canopy with that voice sack, cheek pads, and take-charge attitude! He’s absolutely amazing and it’s beautiful to see him living as free as is safe in the forest, rather than in a zoo enclosure!

Thank you loving people for caring.

Wow, what an amazing story. Kopral has survived so much and has adapted so well. You just cannot underestimate the conscious, smarts, and heart of these wonderful cousins.

They are survivors, glad they're living such a happy life now, with no one could ever hurt them anymore.❤️

This is the nicest thing I have ever seen in the world🥺

Poor Kopral. Glad he’s having the best life he can with his best friend. God bless you people :)

awesome. I'm so glad to see their happy. Copperal and his happy noises are precious. I love rhe way he just rolls on where he wants to go.

The way living things adapt, and thrive after injuries is remarkable. Helping living things adapt and thrive feels somehow like fulfilling the best parts of our purpose for being here. Thanks for posting this!

I love Orangutans so much and am trying to figure out at 36 years of age, what I got to do to work with them. I STILL have time. Kopral and Shelton are so inspirational

These orangutans are such amazing and beautiful animals. I love watching these sweet videos. The helpers there are absolutely amazing.

People who care for these amazing great urges are in readable. The world is so fortunate to have them. Thank you so very much for all you do.

How do you put so much inspiration in three and a half minutes? Lol

cried so hard the second kopral appeared ); i’m happy he’s doing good now

This is so beautiful. Animals truly show us how amazing and beautiful they are ❤️

This is the sweetest thing ever. These are great people running this place.. totally not crying over here

Doamne cat este de uman si civilizat.E superb rasa umana are multe de invatat de la regnul animal.Evolutie 0.💖😀🌹

Awwww That's right kopril show them nothing can hold u back.

These animals reinforce the belief that anything is possible and with great will there are no obstacles that can't be overcome!!! God bless these wonderful creatures and their amazing caretakers💖💖💖

Those somersaults though! 😂

I was so choked up watching this. I thought I was having a bad day...what some animals go through and they're still so resilient.

this is truly amazing. i would have thought at least that his climbing days were over. But not so. these creatures can teach us a thing or two. god bless this orangutan and all of the otheres to.

Animals ability to just get on with it, no matter the difficulty is inspiring!

Wow, to cope disability like he does without arms, this is because Orangs are highly intelligent. They find solutions and it s awesome to watch the variety of solutions they are able to find! Also, they are compassionate beings, help each other, comfort each other.

Speechless 😭😭😭

So sad what happened to them but so the care they are getting is incredible. I wish them a happy healthy life and a long lasting friendship ❤❤

OH i got so upset 😔 becuse of the trauma & injure that happend 2 Kopral 😢 But it is a comfort 2 see how he despite that, has a good life now 🙏 Admire him, so brave, positive, & creative, 😍

This is truly an inspiration for people out there with disabilities, never give up.

I love them both ....God bless them

This breaks my heart this is such a beautiful story

I am watching for a second time. They are beautiful 💙🐒💙🐒💙

My heart has been blessed to see two of God's cherished beings in a friendship that can truly bless them both! So sweet to see them hugging as only they can. . .thanks for sharing.

Those poor, sweet animals! I'm so thankful they came into the hands of caring people! ❤❤

Thank you for all you do

it makes me so sad to know any orangutan has had to struggle due to us and breaks my heart but im glad they are so resilient and that these two boys have each other

Koprol never give up its reminds us also should never give up

This is maybe the best thing on the internet. Is there anywhere I can see more on their story?

oh boy............my cat looked at me with one of those "you upset mama?" looks and came sat next to me.......just instantly choked up and tears welling when saw Kopral walking out with no arms..........wondering oh no he can't climb, how difficult it must be for him as a primate that basically climbs trees........then pure surprise and joy to see eating just fine (of course their feet are basically hands!!), and then he climbed the tree letting the other Orangutan to 'move it peese' ....just WOW. flip....then the story of Shelton and Kopral as buddies. Flip......what a story to move the soul into overdrive xo from New Zealand

I love you, Kopral!

so precious they are like children so full of curiosity and life beautiful:)

That is beautiful and amazing..

AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL !!! God Bless.

How beautiful !!! God Bless them.

Wow, that IS an amazing story!

Now that is one powerful dose of perspective and inspiration.

3:00 he rolls in to say hello. 😂 wether it’s just for food or keeping his blind best friends company, it’s nice seeing these 2 oddballs together. 🤝

I think what amazes me the most is the curiosity they have, which leads them to wanting to solve problems. its amazing that a handicapped orangutan solved the issues his handicap put in place. also, him helping his also handicapped friend....that's where morality evolved from in us, just via our ancestors (I dont mean: we evolved from the orangutan.).

So touching... 😢 I wish Kopral and Sheldon good health and happiness.

Thank you I love this video!

It breaks my heart and makes me cry.

Very touching video of chimps

Hello FROM CANADA I LOVE you're hard work AND videos

This is beautiful.

Such a sad story but turned out very well!

Really good story! Thank you and God bless you!

Aww his little roll is so cute 🥰

Omg this is amazing I'm crying

Awwwwww😪My goodness bless his heart so glad he survived

How wonderful, i love these creatures

He's got a HUGE glow ❤

Ich habe den Ar....voll Tränen, bin so tief gerührt wie diese herrlichen Tiere sich gegenseitig stützen und ihr Schicksal meistern. Warum können wir Menschen nicht so mitfühlend sein, warum geht es bei uns nur nach Aussehen, Kontostand usw.???? An diesen Tieren sollten manche Menschen sich ein Bsp.nehmen, wie es auch ohne Vorurteile gehen kann. Es ist eigentlich erschreckend wie Tiere uns zeigen müssen wie die Welt aussehen könnte. Lasst uns Alles tun um diese wunderschönen Kreaturen zu schützen!!!!

I can't stand kopral's condition. It makes me sad

man i just want to hug them and tell them they are the best thing to step in this world

One to melt the heart 💗💗💗

So adorable omg.. my heart hurts

I'm terrible sorry for what happened to these adorable orangutans and I am grateful for the people who take care of these wonderful animals every day! May you and the orangutans be blessed with joy and happiness!:) 🙏🍀💕👍🤗

So inspirational 🤩🥰
