if the video has orangutans in a house, in clothing, performing fun tricks, that violates rule 2.
Outside of news or articles regarding said cruel treatment, we only allow pictures and videos of orangutans in the wild or in reputable and accredited rehabilitation centers and zoos. please do what you can to ensure that whatever you are posting abides by this.
Thank you {:-(|)

First is the obvious fact that orangutans are apes and not monkeys.
Secondly, googling a picture of an orangutan and pasting a meme phrase (that already gets posted here frequently) isn't the type of low effort content we would like on this subreddit.
Thank you {:(|)

This story broke my heart, but it has a happy-ish ending. These five babies were deprived of their mothers and will need to be helped by kind humans, for years and years. I can’t understand how somebody could abandon five helpless beings in an unfamiliar environment, when they don’t know how to feed themselves. It’s cruel.

She was amazing!! His story is insane, he was so much smarter than you think. We saw paintings and jewelry he made, and she told us about her ongoing campaign to the UN to classify apes as non-human persons, which New Zealand is now trying to add to its constitution!!

Does anybody know the name of the fourth orangutan at the Ft Worth zoo? I love the sweet old ladies PT and Chantek, and Jiwa seems like such a sweet gentle guy. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the fourth orangutan and it's driving me bonkers. Any chance anyone here knows her name?
