Hiking near Medan in Indo, mama orangutan drops out of the trees. Guide throws an onion, and the female orangutan scampers off after it. Guide says "bad idea to feed orangutan, fucking bad idea to not feed orangutan."
Chimps share over 98.6 percent of the same DNA as humans. Gorillas share 98 percent of their genetic sequence with humans. Orangutans share 97 percent of their DNA with humans. In what way is that 'closer'?
You know, admitting a mistake is not a sign of weakness. Quite the opposite, it's a sign of maturity and strength of character. Everyone makes mistakes but if you own them and move on, the mistake is quickly forgotten by everyone. Instead of that, you've attempted to turn your mistake into some sort of character flaw on my part. Good luck with that.
No- given how readily it catches the food, it’s clearly asking for the food to be tossed. Gestures to its mouth as well indicating it’s used to this interaction.
Yes, it does. They have shown logical reasoning and empathy. "Wild animal" is a meaningless term in this case. Unless you'd care to define what you mean by it?

The Jungle Cruise ride got a huge upgrade to their animatronics since I was last at Dinsey
UmamiMama
That's also terrifying. They are huge!

Orang-utan literally means Old Man of the Forest

No, it 'literally' means 'person forest'

Is he...is he trying to force choke us?

Nah, he's just going, toss the cookie, toss it, c'mon man, I got it, fuckin toss it, thank you.

I find your lack of faith...disturbing.

Could be the long awaited delivery of the crystal for his light sabre, cleverly disguised in a cookie.

Orang Oututangs, not chimpanzees, are the closest living relatives to humans.
DarwinsAgain
No. Chimpanzees are closer to humans than Orangutans by about 10 million years.

Their DNA is closest.

I see you want to be absolutely right. Go ahead I don't care!

Pretty sure they can rip your face off too. But I still love them.

That big boy could literally rip your arms out of their sockets!
DarwinsAgain
He literally couldn't do that. We live in different countries, he almost certainly doesn't have a visa to get here and he doesn't know where I live.
jdregius92
No but one day you might travel and forget where your nemesis is based. The who's gonna be laughing eh stumpy?
DarwinsAgain
Well I guess I'm gunna need a bigger tungsten ball.

I’m betting that gesture from him is a small warning not to come too close with the boat

jejune1337
Thank you for the clarification!
DarwinsAgain
Correct. He lives on a rehabilitation island run by BOS and is accustomed to humans doing welfare checks and handing out food treats.

Some believe orangutans can talk, but refuse to do so in front of humans, for fear they would be put to work.

This is the best kind of ape. I dont even know what theyre called. Theyre just "you know, the cool ones" in my lexicon.

That's just Steven Tyler.

This is an orangutan. Whatever you do, do not call it a monkey!

Else he may unscrew your head using his feet.

Orangs are among the most placid and gentle of the great apes (including humans). Attacks on humans are very rare (and normally provoked)

... Yeah, yeah it does tbh. If something causes less harm than something else it is less dangerous. That's how that works lol.
