Will Hercules the Orangutan Learn to Climb? | Orangutan Diary | BBC Earth 

They remind me of Buddhist monks.

now that is the work of a smart animal.

@@GladDestronger even gorillas can be smart. Koko the gorilla spoke fluent sign language. (Forgot his name) a silverback gorilla was taught to speak 500 words im sign language and he explained his mothers death and how she was murdered infront of his eyes. It is spectacular and sad to watch him express his emotions. Escpecilaly when he emphasized 'cry'

They don’t trust humans

I love this lady ♥️

006 really? Haha

yea that's pretty funny

Clever girl

Wow, that’s amazing. And kinda sad.

Orangutans look like monks 🤣 ready to get enlightenment anytime.

he has the power to rip your head off

He does, but being gentle doesn't require him to be weak. He is mild in temperament and doesn't feel the need to use his strength.

Lan Do He looks nothing like a human

+arp thirteen Then you're obviously not looking hard enough.

I agree, he looks so kind. And at peace despite his past.

I know there so caring

Lynn Strong he's not a baby he's aleast 15

well 20 now

I wasn't referring to his age. It was an emotional expression in response to his gentle and caring nature. Duh.

nigel goveas pervert

Hopefully they're nice.

they throw poop at him and he cant do anything

Don't think any of them would dare you seen the size of the fucker he prob rip ya head off without even noticing lol

ladistar you might get seriously hurt if not outright killed..chimps are 7 times the strength of a human..think how strong this big guy is!

@@cmoeller3 that's why I assumed the girl kept saying one arm only

@@cmoeller3 orangutans aren't as violent as chimps, though. He might be gentle since he's used to humans

@@yippehanako Generally other great apes aren't as violent as chimps or humans.

Woof

Spookwagen! I thought you died

Tuk Hoang no i have only ascended

😭😭😭

omg Maurice was so huge and fearsome..but still so friendly!!

SuperSpookwagen Where's Caesar

It is more about the locals mistreating them.

its could be very hard for him to surviv, better in gage u know he have food

I will say there’s a level of conservationism that keeps it necessary because for example with tigers there is actually a greater captive population than wild population

Those are very minor impacts on the population. The greatest is deforestation. I have been to Borneo many times, and on each successive visit, I am depressed to see how much jungle has been cut down in order to grow palm trees. The palm oil and rubber industries are destroying forrests throughout the tropics. The contractors just kill orangutans if they are in the way.

Truth Man lmfao never seen a better comment

Are the orangutans smoking it too?

@@AnthonyCook78 Probably, because some chimps or some primates I can't remember, have smoked cigarettes. Weed is different to tobacco though.

Truth Man 😂😂😂

Until they pull your kneecaps out of there socket.

No such thing as broken living beings. He had a very hard life, with very cruel and evil people hurting him, but he is hopefully happy now, as he is Loved.

Or he could be having the time of his life lol

Lol every otangutan have face like that

@@gabutmax451 broe seriously

Diadema033 Haha I heard the world was mad at us for doing that. Where you from?

Run.

LOL. Where is Caesar?

He's out in the back running around frantically yelling " No " to everyone.

Daryl Stewart hell yeah!

Looks way to fake to be Maurice xD

Yeah he looks like a wise old Chinese Kung Fu master

Wise old ginger man

Bobby Hill God damn it bobby

@Pappy Van Winkle You remind me of a dumb fat troll

yougonasorry I choked

SDD525 he is a man

well their DNA is 97% similar to humans (with chimps its close to 99%) We all share the same ancestor species from millions of years ago, so its amazing to think how we evolved so differently from our "cousins" yet share much of the exact same DNA :D

Balnazzardi we didn’t evolve from shit

@@MURDASQUADRETURN uhh yes we did? While we didn't evolve from monkeys we did evolve AS homo sapiens, we obviously evolved with technology and other things like it, don't be stupid

KevonTheDon always a religious nutjob

As a ginger, I approve of this comment

Hey, are U UkrainianWeeg from TheYNC?

Ginger evolved from orangutas.

This is incredibly offensive! How dare you suggest Orangutans have no soul!!!

Hence the name Ranga

DAY-V Entertainment™ I love Maurice 😭😭😭😭

hahahaha

its a she

He is a he not a she

@@zakf8434 They named him Hercules that's a Males name also the females do not have the facial structures like that

+Jordan.izquierdo, well it depends on the zoo. Some zoos are good, some zoos are bad. It's like the human race. Some are good, some are bad. Only the *good* zoos are the acceptable ones. But the ones that do stuff like keeping animals in tiny cages and doing shit like that? No way.

Every single great ape will get bored in a zoo, even ones born in captivity, this is a known thing. It's not ideal.

I think they normally smell awful in captivity. Ever smelled the primate house at the zoo? She's commenting on how he's not a stinky fucker now that he's out in the rain and sun and fresh air.

***** Exactly.However we are educate,and trained like destroy nature,like love money,like harm different people and like run to get fucked illuminance gadget and toys its mean for $Y$TEM.Modern "human" fascinated marketing and career plus money cult is completele idiot who degradate nature-own mother nature,which give life!!!.Noone animal dont kill for money,for greed,for religion,for tyrany,slavery,So where is "civilisation", "culture",and superiority of white human???Noone animal dont pollute planet like human.But for modern techno-humans most important are massmedia than real life,coexistence,symbiosis.Modern human is so intelectually limited,retarded,resistant,that he will do evereything for money.

***** Noone have interest to educate us as social people,who able to respect people and nature.We have to be egoist.no empathy,no responsibilty,no awareness,no dyginty,no honour,no value.We have cultivate money/religion and no more and fascinate corporation shit.We have to be empty,no emotion,no empathy,no human needs and relations.

@Strength of the Wild Is killing a neighouring chimp tribe necessary or not? You call also find a video where a group of chimps torture a racoon just for pleasure. So stop this "animals are not cruel" bullshit.

@Strength of the Wild So by your logic, neither humans, nor animals are cruel?

@Strength of the Wild RU-vid "Chimps vs racoon", this is definitely not done because the racoon is a threat. I see no difference between human cruel behaviour and this behaviour exhibited by chimps. If you look better, you can see even more cruel chimp videos. They are not that different from humans after all. A donkey is more different from a horse compared to humans and chimps.

I agree, but how are Orangutans worth more than us? We humans are so intelligent and have such a large mental capacity we are capable of critical and logical thinking and have become the dominant species, and now you're going to say Orangutans are worth *more* than us just because they are animals and we are humans?
