  • An unusual friendship is brewing at Orangutan Jungle School between one of the orangutans and a young male macaque. Inter-species friendships are rare- but they’re more common here than in the wild.

    I gasped when he put his tiny paw in her big outstretched hand. How can you watch something like this and think animals don't feel emotion or have souls? These two have found their kindred spirit.

      Heck yeah. These animals, more so the orangutan can establish friendships. Scientifically it’s “social bonding” or “strengthening social networks” but is human friendship really any different, apart from us humans doing things like going to the mall together or taking a road trip?
      I also like how the monkey and orangutan establish boundaries without ending contact or getting violent. Slowly gaining trust.

      Then I came to the comment from you who for what reasons seems to be fixated like a child would go on and on about a very normal act animal's AND HUMANS do.
      It's all about scent.
      This is one HUGE part of humans male and females are attracted by their scent.

    It’s interesting to watch how the apes evolve when survival isn’t the central point of existence, as it is in the wild. These young orphans have developed skills in this environment that they will take with them once they eventually released back into the wild.

    Don’t they have on one of the pre-release islands, a pig-tailed macaque they transferred there because he was too aggressive?
    Heard that he stops the smaller macaques on the island from approaching when the orangutans are eating in exchange for some of the fruit.
