that idea to combine the enclosures was not just a bonus for the orangutans, those otters got a nice big expansion so they are probably even happier too, especially considering their new friends
Thank you! Hearing the orangs referred to as monkees throughout the entire video (vs a once or twice mistake) made me both cringe & angry. These videos are seen by countless numbers of people and sadly, many of those viewers have limited or no access to "proper" education; what they see on the internet is taken as fact. But I also was afraid I'd come across as a nit-picking Karen for pointing out a mistake that, while pretty major for a fact-based article, if corrected wouldn't have affected the viewers' ultimate take-away. So thanks for picking that nit first, Karen. Hopefully the writers will check their facts better on any future videos. Love, Karen😘
@@heyimababe9901 Not a Karen, but definitely a Ken. I watched the video twice, and I "picked those nits" twice, as well. It is annoying. Just a single minute talking to the caretaker, a main player, would have prevented this nonsense. But.., you know know-it-alls. I know know-it-alls, too. They co-opted someone else's work. No credit given other than "The Photographer." Contacting the source would have blown the project. 😳 Can't have that!
I'm a 70 years young gentleman and have a good grasp on life and this posting brought tears of joy. I'm so grateful that someone saw the orangutan’s depression, but more so that they did something about it. I am not normally in favour of animals in captivity, but for the survival of endangered ones, it the only way sometimes. So happy to see animals happy with their life. I hope other zoo's take notice and follow this zoo's innovated idea.
Hoping the zoo keeper who figured this out got a raise! Love it! ♥️ “You cannot share your life with a dog or a cat and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings”. -Jane Goodall
Orangutans are not monkeys, they are Great Apes. They do not have paws, they have hands. They are very complex, similar to us. I am glad that they finally have other company, I can imagine how lonely it would have been for them. Thank you for the vid.
@@josephhodges9819 I didn't think he intentionally or fraudulently misrepresented the Orangutans. I was just providing the correct information that was missing from the video.
Pets make us feel less alone, keep us entertained, and enhance our lives. There is no reason it should be any different for our bright "cousins" the orangutans. This cheered them up and me as well :) Well done Mathew!
@@hopehigh3224 well said ! I know the lockdown certainly had the same affect on me as it did the Orangutans ! Look at the statistics for suicide during the lockdown. I would say more, but this is not the place for it. I don’t want to tarnish the beauty of this video. Thank you for bringing this point up ! I wish the people running countries would have put as much thought into the effects of the lockdown as Matthew did for these wonderful creatures. All blessings to you !
Putting the Orangatans together with the otters was genius! Also putting other species together is a great idea. Animals are smarter than we give them credit for.
What an excellent idea. Animals in the wild don't live in isolation from each other, though the unique circumstances of being in a zoo has allowed this interaction to blossom into mutual friendship. Well done to this innovative keeper👏
@@toddbennett7157 often they place animals that also in nature live in the same type of environment. the odd thing is that they mixed animals that would never encounter the other in the wild.
As the son of a university biology professor, I cringed every time he said 'monkey'. To miss-quote Foresy Gump 'I may not be a smart man, but I know what apes are'.
@@mareksicinski3726 it's still wrong. It's like calling a cat a dog, or a hamster a genua pig. Ape's are not Monkeys. Both are primates, but the inaccuracies totally took away from the video.
@@pixelarcher A lot of species, like orangutans, are kept in zoos because they need that to continue to exist. Humans have destroyed their natural habitat, so we breed them in captivity hoping that one day all captive animals will find a safe living space in the wild. The ideal would be to have sufficiently large nature reserves, but for political or financial reasons this is generally not possible. Zoos raise money to care for animals, and make the public care about their welfare. On the other hand, we must boycott parks like Marineland which imprison marine animals such as killer whales in small basins when they need to swim hundreds of kilometres.
@@RaphaelM-MG alot is no true. Zoos save hardly any species and hardly ever are they reintegrated into the wild. There are no pro arguments for Zoos they all have been debunked. Zoos even take out animals from the wild and put them in the Zoo.
Sorry but your information is incorrect…. Those otters were there long before the pandemic and has nothing to do with loneliness. Pairi Daiza is a very animal friendly zoo where they have a lot of space and distraction. The zoo is not even open all year around just to protect the animals from too much stress. They were never bored…. Let alone dying from loneliness. This zoo invests a lot into the welfare for the animals.
You should come and have a visit and you’ll see with your own eyes. This video is fake… go to the website of pairi daiza and you’ll see how much effort they do to save these animals. There natural habitats get destroyed for the palm industry so you can wash your hair! So don’t judge….
There absolutely is something to be learned from them how they don’t care about how different they are, how it helped the orangutans mental health and how truly beautiful and amazing it is.
I always thought I would be fine with my own company forever, as long as I had my stuff to work with (making my music and writing). but there are even limits to the most crazy homebodies of us, it seems. I casually slipped into just not talking or doing anything with anyone for a long while and became quite literally insane. It's like your balance and reward centers get out of wack. ... started constantly stuffing my face with extremely unhealthy foods such as icing, sticks of butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract all mixed and put in warm soft wheat tortillas for every meal... laying down in bed all day watching Star Trek... getting pissed, cursing to myself out loud when I had to do tiny things likie brush my teeth or go to the grocery... my muscles just melted away and I started to look like Gollum. things can just get weird when you're in a hole alone for a while i guess.
@@luceatlux7087 Yeah, although I'm very much a loner type and not very social, during lockdowns I went for over a year with very little human interaction and it did take a big psychological toll.
@@luceatlux7087 how long did this last or take to happen? people tell me what a lazy rotten hateful vindictive....person I am. Usually after asking them... remember that money 💰 you owe me for fixing your roof last winter. What's the worst part? Letting someone else treat you like that causing withdrawal or doing it to yourself? Don't take that crap from nobody, remember you count too in more ways than one. Maybe even try telling jokes instead of vulgarity those lines are easily crossed, then work up to kid classics, why'd the chicken cross the road 🛣️? How the 🐔 cluck should I know. 🤧not funny?

Another key difference to note between the orangutans' interactions with the otters vs. human park visitors, is that they're able to actually touch and play with their new friends, rather than being separated by glass, only able to look. I love how the young'ins run off to play, while the "adults" chat, just like humans often do!
Orangutans are very, very social animals and need a community. They are not meant to be kept in the isolation of zoos. Im so sad about captive animals. Especially those who are healthy enough to thrive in the wild but were captured very young and cant be released because they adapted to captivity. I mean its understandable if the animals have health concerns that prevent their release, but most zoos have very unethical practices pf buying young animals that otherwise could've been rehabilitated and released.
@@stass2933 Don't be sad about captive animals because they are safer with humans. Animals are hunted in the wild and forests are becoming few. So where would they go? They are safe with us.
@@Simplythetruthfulone: If wild animals are kept in captivity then they should have plenty of land to move around on, and not be used to do tricks in a circus. Many lions, tigers and beers have been abused by circus ppl, and it's wrong to do that to a wild animal. I've seen videos of circus ppl putting wild animals like a bear or lion in small cages for years on end and that's Animal abuse, and it's why we have rescuers take them away from circus ppl and put them on wild life reservations. And often times these wild animals need dental work done on their teeth because the circus ppl neglected them, and it hurts them to eat food.
@@Simplythetruthfulone Agreed. But be sad about loss of habitat and hunting for 'bushmeat'. But also be wary of imposing 2020s rich (despite current economic tensions) western societies values on more close to the edge of surviving cultures. A difficult one, especially as we westerners got rich by being carefree about the planet and other animals
I really needed this joyful story today! What a reward this must be for one very concerned zookeeper, who opened up their world! I hope it opens many eyes and hearts. THANK YOU for sharing this with the world.
I have 3 cats. They keep me sane. Having weird little creatures sharing my living space is entertaining and comforting. We have nothing in common but mutual existence and it works well. They do cat stuff, I do human stuff, everyone's happy.
Animals have feelings just like people do. They need interaction with others, be it people or animals. Loosing the interaction that they are used too can make them lonely and depressed. They need some kind of stimulus to keep them happy. What this zoo did was genius. They created an environment that helped many different animals. Well done!
This is among one of the most heartwarming stories I have heard! Intuitive, caring steps taken by the keeper, and which have made all the difference in the world to the orangutans (and the playful otters)! Just a lovely story, and a joy to watch x
Epic , I know its a saying ... However i can feel an unusual warmth in my heart . Never imagined this was a literal feeling . Thanks for posting this .
What a wonderful story of friendship to see. I’m just glad the Orang-utans have found friends through this pandemic. I could imagine their how they felt. I lost my mum in March this year, my heart breaks every day, I really miss her. Being alone is no fun.
So sorry for your loss, completely understand, it hasn’t been long for you to be without her. Do you have friends? Pandemic doesn’t help matters. Other family members? Your pain will change, cherish the good memories.
@@yvellebradley2502 Thank you, in one way I’m glad she is at peace. My mum had bowel cancer & chemo, then twenty years later suffered with bladder cancer & shingles + mum had a Urinary Tract infection, I didn’t know; if gone undetected can affect your heart & brain. Mum’s went to her brain. So now she is at peace. It will always hurt, sometimes more than other times. My friends & family do support me, but as they say, “you can have a hundred people around you & still feel alone”. It’s just hard knowing both our parents are dead. I will always miss them. Thank you for your kind words.
So sorry for your loss. Sometimes pets can fill a void that no one else can. Evidence even supports how pets can help relieve trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, loneliness, pain and high BP. The world is full of people and animals looking for each other. I hope you find peace.
Zookeepers like this are special people who are truly invested in the animals welfare. Not only did it help the orangutans and otters, the new idea has helped others as well. People can absolutely take a lesson from this. Thank you for posting this!
animals is one of the precious gift of mother nature. totally agreed with you, this zookeeper is absolutely for keeps. he has a great heart for beautiful beings.
Well said Diedra - I hope that this idea can be more widely used in other zoos around the world. And your comment about lessons for us humans - so very true x
Otters were the perfect pick! They are so fun to watch for everyone! Sure glad moods were lifted and friendships created! That is one smart zoo administrator!
This is such a heartwarming story. Otters are very mischievous. In Scotland we have many, and yes they are very personable lil fellas. Thanks for putting this up. It made my day.
I am glad to hear there are otters in Scotland. Just that alone, evokes a marvellous land of fresh pristine river and sonorous water flow and running playing otters. What a gift to have nature that is alive and well.
This just touched my whole heart!! What a wonderful idea ... humans could learn so much from animals ... I hope more of these enclosures can become home to more than just one ... thank you for saving these wonderful babies!!!
Before domestication was probably co-habitation in the animal kingdom, where animals sees one another as necessity for security, shelter, or food source (indirectly). For instance burrows made by moles and such animals may be used as shelter by other small animals. Small animals may seek security from larger animals that does not prey on them (like Rhinos and Birds or Rabbits).
This is what humankind should be focused to : being worldwide gardeners and foresters. Carring about plants life and animals wellness. The reward is so much better than what we are working for. Thank you this video brightened my day !
My husband and I discuss this almost daily! We have a great responsibility to our Earth and her inhabitants, animal, plant and human! Our Earth will provide everything we need if we are wise enough to not destroy it! I truly believe that we will forever regret the destruction of our rainforests and the Amazon, we need to stop now! We have made great progress in replanting some of our forests, we need to continue while we continue to make sure we lose no more animals or plants to extinction. ❤
The main problem with keeping animals in zoos is mental stimulation, keeping them from being bored and in the case of more intelligent animals like apes & elephants providing fun is so important. The keepers here have created an interesting & fun environment for the animals to ENJOY.
@@TafaraBwerinofa Without zoos many animals would be extinct. Ideally, yes no zoos and all animals in the wild, safe & free. If you think that is possible I bet you believe in world peace too. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Best we can hope for are zoos that carry out serious research in animals conservation and treat the animals in their care well.
@@MrTallpoppy58 Well you have a point, just that zoo's serve two purposes, conservation role and making money (tourism). Where do we draw the line and be honest about it? We can trust zoos yes, but I am more in support of game parks, at least animals have the freedom to roam about in their natural habitat. Tourism still exists but animals are not in cages.
@@TafaraBwerinofa No money, no research. Game parks are few and far between. I would think zoos play a far greater role in conservation then game reserves. Very few tourist can see and hence pay to see animals in a game reserve, unless you are a millionaire. The worlds is not perfect.
@@TafaraBwerinofa The world has become a lot better for those animals that still survive. I have seen some disgraceful zoos but less and less now, thankfully. Have you ever seen Australia (Park) Zoo in Queensland. The enclosures are massive and you really need to be fit to walk it. Its why they have a train system. The enclosures are wonderfully designed, not as good as nature but close and nature does not have a medical plan.
@@erickpoorbaugh6728 maybe his language origin is from a non english country. Im german and monkey and ape both translate to "Affe" so we make no difference there and call both the same. There is another word "Menschenaffe" wich literally means humanmonkey and/or humanape, but this is rarely used by anyone. Most just say "Affe" to any ape and monkey that isnt a Gorilla.
We need more people like Mathew. Thank-you for showing these amazing souls such care and devotion, the Arangutans were obviously suffering through being lonely and now look so well as they play with their Otter friends. X
Predators and Omnivores make connections also. Just go hug a Shark, Grizzly Bear, Lion, Tiger or Crocodile the next time you see one to get that "connection & Love" in you desire. Lofl Hell you can always go hug some herbivores like Orangutans, Apes, Rhinos or Elephants for that connective love as well. Seemed to work out for Timothy Treadwell. 😂
Animals are smarter then people. I worked with Baboons, marmosets, Rhesus, etc.... University of Miami ran test. Nothing bad. Baboons cage, rest were like 5 blocks with everything. Not a zoo. Merck pharmaceutical Owned Rhesus. It was my Passion 13 yrs 7dys wk I could sit down with them, hand feed alpha 1st, 2nd rank, etc... I was alpha but we had a beautiful bond, trust. I literally spoiled them with veggies, peanuts, Crack corn, sunflower seeds. Their smarter then people. God creations. 🥰🙏❤️
Poor Orangutans lost their forests because of Humans......From South America to a Cage! No respect is deserved for Zoo keepers. Especially when Animals are Fit for Survival in the Wild
Elderly in facilities are already form very close attachments to staff, and likewise. We become a substitute family. We were there for them during the COVID struggle. They saw how hard and shirt staffed we worked, but we still comforted them anyway we could. As soon as possible we had family visits through patio fences, throw plexiglass, then together with masks.
whatever makes you feel better about zoos but you know deep down they are there purely for the entertainment of humans. Yes they care but only to a point and only whilst profitable.
Animals are interactive creatures as well, so it's certainly a great idea to let animals who are friendly with each other (not threats to one or the other) to have more interaction! Kudos to the zoo keepers!
Having ferrets, which are in the same family as otters, they are the most inquisitive little creatures I have ever encountered. They are extremely social and I think more curious than cats. I have to guess that otters are very similar with their social skills and quirky curious minds. What a great idea! Brought joy to all of their lives. I love the thought of the otters being able to swim from their enclosure to the orangutans. You can get even more creative with it. The more they can explore the happier they will be. My ferrets are free range. The thought of caging them would be like keeping a cat in a cage. It would break their little souls.
i miss my ferret Pest he was buddy! before he died got real sick turned yellow then got healthy again about 4 months later he passed away...then there was baja my albino one i got from friends mom... she loved being held and sitting on laps
&LeRoy Poleschuk wow u had a cuddly girl! None of my girls are cuddly. My boys on the other hand are big fat loves. Do u not get more bc of all the illnesses they get?
Hello everyone...I subscribe to several Otter channels on TH-cam. They were very interesting and entertaining. I can imagine they were a good addition to the Primate exhibit.
Otters are very friendly - I personally watched them play tag at an Indiana, USA zoo with a 5 year old boy. He was running alongside the aquarium glass wall, switching directions as fast as he could, while the otters swam underwater inside the glass aquarium, matching his speed and direction with ease. Every time he switched direction to try to lose his "tail" and the otter instantly flipped over and reversed direction too, the boy would shout with glee. I also knew a native american Ojibwe medicine woman & grandmother, who tells of playing with a wild otter family as a very young girl. She was watching the otters play on a mud slide into the creek, and it looked like such fun that the girl could not resist taking a turn on the mudslide herself. This startled the whole otter family, but the adults came and circled her swimming and sniffing her while she froze, and eventually they touched her showing trust and friendship. The girl began visiting the otters daily, sharing her lunch with them. One day she had the bright idea to invite the otters to come and visit her home for a tea party, and she enticed the whole otter family to follow her home, where she fed them bits of cooked fish on her tiny tea party saucers at a short tree stump/ table just their size. A great time was had by all, and her parents were amazed, because when she previously told them about her adventures with the otters, they thought she just had vivid imaginary friends. The human family moved away shortly afterward, as it was time for the young girl to go to school and there wasn't one nearby. This was not the first time Grandmother made friends with local wildlife; she got her childhood name "walks with bears" when she was just beginning to walk; a bear family stopped by the wilderness clearing where her family lived, and the cubs played with her, and she was steadying herself while walking by gripping the bear cub's coats as they walked beside her under mama bear's watchful eyes. When Grandmother's mama saw this, it scared her half to death; she feared what a normally over-protective mama bear could do to her bold daughter gripping the cubs, but the mama bear was very patient and caring to this tiny, hairless cub of a different species. The bears left after the grown humans showed up.
Good to know that there are people who have the ability to come up with ideas to enhance and perpetuate the species. This may even work with other animal groups.
@@nergystar524 lemur, loris, and tarsiers are all apes with tails. As such it is not the primary difference, the true difference is the ancestry of a species.
I am intrigued by it. I want them to try it with the other great apes. Clearly, something similar to what makes us have a propensity for keeping pets is part of their make up too. This has emotional support animal written all over it. I want to see if gorillas would get along with other animals like this too. Coco had a cat. I would hesitate with chimps though. They’re so aggressive bonobos maybe. And definitely Gibbons.
@@Hun_Uinaq Quote: “Lemurs are primates, an order that includes monkeys, apes and humans. Lemurs are prosimians. Other prosimians include galgoes (bushbabies) found in Africa, lorises found in Asia, and tarsiers found in Borneo and the Philippines. It is both, animals have more then just one thing classifying them. They are of the “Order” Primate
The company of another living thing, just goes to show it doesn't need to be the same animal (within reason), just a physical/emotional connection that is truly being craved and given freely. A wonderful, life-saving, idea by the Zookeeper.❣🌹
It’s great the Care-Taker/Psychologist is paying attention and looking out for these guys. It’s good work Sir. Great story and I hope other Zoo’s are paying attention.

@@reesecarr2105 Many zoo animals today were never free. Some were, technically speaking, but were rescued from a certain death in the wilderness or from poachers/smugglers' hands and relocated into a zoo. Great many of the animals would be unable to survive in the wilds anymore, many would have no suitable environment left to return to. Orangutans, like all the great apes, are suffering from habitat loss. While I agree on especially many mammals and birds, with their more developed brains (compared to snakes, lizards, insects, and such), suffering from living in captivity, and thus I see zoos as sad places, the individual animals in them often have no better alternatives whatsoever. That's why it's essential to try to make the zoos internally better places. Unfortunately zoos aren't financial gold mines, so developing them is economically difficult.

I find it strange that different species were "discovered" to be able to live and play together. Anyone that has ever had a farm or ranch knows this. I have dogs playing with goats. When we had cows, the goats would often come to them and play and they would try to headbutt each other. We would give cracked corn in a 50 gallon barrel that had been cut in half length-wise so they would come when we called them. One of the goats got smart and she would lie in the barrel and eat to her heart's content. The cows would try to get her out with their horns but could not as she laid real low. The cows would start bellowing their displeasure. :D The cows would even play with our dogs. And of course, many of them wanted to be with us or play with us. Elsie, one of cows, would run over to my wife for her to scratch her neck. Some of the goats would jump on us. Many of the animals wanted little "snacks" that we had for them and would try to sniff our pockets and nudge us for them.
When I used to help out at the stable when I was a kid, we also had a few cows, maybe 20 head tops. They learnt to recognise my hi vis, because I always had a few scraps in my pocket. Of course, that meant that when someone else borrowed the jacket, the cows harassed them too 😁
What a beautiful story! That someone thought about these animals and then found a way to help them! I love how the orangutans and humans compared emotionally. Lonliness kills
Me: "Oh wow. I would love to see video of Orangutans actually playing with Otters!" Life Stories: "Great! Here are some pictures while we describe it to you..."
This story reminds me of my last bullmastiff. She was a very gentle girl, wouldn’t even defend herself. When we had horses visit our property in Connecticut she happily trotted towards them. Turkeys were the only creatures she didn’t try making friends with but then again it was because she didn’t know what to make of them. Also our eldest current dog used to howl alongside the coyotes at night. It was really creepy because we could hear they were close to the property. We don’t live anywhere near coyotes currently so we don’t get those nighttime howling serenades.
Mixed species exhibits are fairly common in zoological facilities. It informs visitors about a given species natural range/distribution and helps people envision actual biosystems, while providing much needed diversion for captive creatures. It's called "behavioral enrichment".
In my hometown in a small zoo, a lonely orangutan was given a kitten. It was love at first sight. His keeper write a childrens book about the friendship.
My goodness, it sure looks like a success for all! I hope that this trend builds up the connections so deeply missed and that it's a wonderful example. Thank you for sharing this!
No, they arent. Thats Disneyfied bullshit. There are no animal charities, animals dont sacrifice to help others like humans do. Sure, there are bad humans, but there are great humans, too.
I've always loved otters, so I'm sure the orangutans did too. Otters are such happy little critters.Having a bunch show up in your neighborhood would be a great thing.

You can't completely trust a wild animal - ever - but humans are the closest I can get to trusting a wild animal with my life.
I watched a programme recently about The Tower of London, and they said the Ravens missed the visitors during the pandemic, and were bored. Shame more people aren't like this man, he deserves a medal.
So sensitive and wondrous this person who thought of this,the different species so welcoming of each other! Magnificent. Now if we can just get some humans as decent and sensitive to heal the warring factors of our human family and stop pitting one identity against another, it will save humanity. This is blessed and beautiful, thank you.
Maybe not having them in a zoo, to begin with, would be sensitive. Making them a prisoner is cruel and only should be done when living in the wild is not possible. Those who attend zoos are to blame for the pain of a lot of animals.
@@georgeedward602 Do you understand that most zoo animals are not able to live in the wild either due to debilitating injury or being raised in captivity but don't be upset because the money that the zoo's make when people come to view the animals goes directly to funding the species preservation so zoos are good for the species as a whole
During the pandemic we were all experiencing loneness and its true that animals will also feel lonely... I love this , it was awesome that Matthew found away to make them happy and feel loved. Thank u so much for this video it made my heart so happy. ❤
U do know if u watch videos people talking about things. Have know idea about what they are talking about. Now why u make a video with it researching I have no idea. I corrected a guy about how pyramid's were made. He didn't know that they were made by slaves.
@@noblehillministerprophet8689 I have people get envy of me because I talk about all kinds of stuff. They call me a know it all. It don't know everything but I know alot. I spend time watching traveling channels, foods, history stuff medicine. I rather watch that stuff and learn then to watch TV and be brainwashed morons.
"The zookeeper decided to try the idea with penguins and seals." Uh...correct me if I'm wrong but going from most of the nature documentaries I've seen, those two tend to not mix well.
Great idea & job Matthew!!! I've always liked otters... I think both groups benefited from being friends! Matthew needs a special recognition for this!
Otters: Pssst. I think we escape but we need to work together. Orangutans: Interesting..... I'm listening Otters: I'll explain while we pretend to be playing.
These beautiful creatures deserve so much better than what humans have given. I could watch them all day long and never get bored. They are absolutely magical!
Yeah. Sad. We could all get along like these little sprites if more people realized when it's time to cooperate rather than just brainlessly and selfishly competing over everything all the time. Hurray for the people who realize this and have good strong souls.
Unfortunately like our 99 percent of DNA cousins the Chimps we like to go to war with each other it part of the tribalism instinct that is the core of racism and classism. And our other 99 precent cousin the Bonobo shows how primitive man reduced that by having sex constantly all ages and sex and combinations. And Bonobo females actually go out of heat for a short while every month while human females never go out of heat, humans the most sexual animal and have great health benefits from sex and skin-ship. Unfortunately sexually transmitted disease and other disease that did not exist in nomadic tribes came into existence after agriculture as populations that could maintain the disease came into existence. Thus the crude cultural rules in more "civilized" areas preventing free sex and close contact. As the vast majority of man has not adapted the lack of full sexual play certainly has taken us closer to our Chimp side. There is a lot of truth to "Make Love not War" unfortunately ended by AIDS.
that idea to combine the enclosures was not just a bonus for the orangutans, those otters got a nice big expansion so they are probably even happier too, especially considering their new friends
You
and their penchant to relate, their curiosity and general good nature.
@@nancyschuett3953 what???? did I do something lol
@@TheOriginalFlowerdough I was wondering about that too. ;)
Nanaue / King Shark: "NEW DUMB FRIENDS!!!" :-)
Love this. A lot of good feelings. One thing though is that Orangutans are not monkeys, they are considered great apes
I came here just to write this. Definitely not subbing to this channel if they don't know the difference. It's kind of important. 😐
I totally agree.
They are one of the Great Apes.
They obviously haven't heard this saying; Monkeys have tails
and Apes do not!
Thank you! Hearing the orangs referred to as monkees throughout the entire video (vs a once or twice mistake) made me both cringe & angry. These videos are seen by countless numbers of people and sadly, many of those viewers have limited or no access to "proper" education; what they see on the internet is taken as fact. But I also was afraid I'd come across as a nit-picking Karen for pointing out a mistake that, while pretty major for a fact-based article, if corrected wouldn't have affected the viewers' ultimate take-away. So thanks for picking that nit first, Karen. Hopefully the writers will check their facts better on any future videos. Love, Karen😘
@@heyimababe9901 Not a Karen, but definitely a Ken. I watched the video twice, and I "picked those nits" twice, as well. It is annoying. Just a single minute talking to the caretaker, a main player, would have prevented this nonsense. But.., you know know-it-alls. I know know-it-alls, too. They co-opted someone else's work. No credit given other than "The Photographer." Contacting the source would have blown the project. 😳 Can't have that!
They don't have "paws" either.
I'm a 70 years young gentleman and have a good grasp on life and this posting
brought tears of joy.
I'm so grateful that someone saw the orangutan’s depression, but more so that they
did something about it.
I am not normally in favour of animals in captivity, but for the survival of endangered
ones, it the only way sometimes.
So happy to see animals happy with their life.
I hope other zoo's take notice and follow this zoo's innovated idea.
Hoping the zoo keeper who figured this out got a raise! Love it! ♥️

They're apes, not monkeys. So glad that the orangutans are happy now. I love the orangutans, they are so smart too.
"huge monkeys" weren't you listening /s
...and bonobos and chimps are closer to humans than orangutans. Two very basic errors by the writer of the voiceover but still a great story.
@@billytheripper4 Again, they're [Great] Apes. Related to monkeys, but not monkeys.
A easy way for people to differentiate them is to remember that monkeys have tails, and apes do not.
I appreciate you for this. People call me Monke all the time
Orangutans are not monkeys, they are Great Apes. They do not have paws, they have hands. They are very complex, similar to us. I am glad that they finally have other company, I can imagine how lonely it would have been for them. Thank you for the vid.
That was bothering me, too
He was not trying to be disrespectful to them.
@@josephhodges9819 I didn't think he intentionally or fraudulently misrepresented the Orangutans. I was just providing the correct information that was missing from the video.
@@McKavian Agree
But then again we call humans some Great Apes that should be better left called apes.
Pets make us feel less alone, keep us entertained, and enhance our lives. There is no reason it should be any different for our bright "cousins" the orangutans. This cheered them up and me as well :) Well done Mathew!
If isolation had that effect on orangutans imagine the effect the lock downs have had people living alone.
Hay AMERICAN! ORANGUTANS are NOT monkey. Some people are.
Well… focus your efforts on your family
@@AI_Flight_Engineer what was the point of your comment?
@@hopehigh3224 well said ! I know the lockdown certainly had the same affect on me as it did the Orangutans ! Look at the statistics for suicide during the lockdown. I would say more, but this is not the place for it. I don’t want to tarnish the beauty of this video. Thank you for bringing this point up ! I wish the people running countries would have put as much thought into the effects of the lockdown as Matthew did for these wonderful creatures. All blessings to you !
Love this heartwarming story. Give this zookeeper a raise and a bonus!
Putting the Orangatans together with the otters was genius! Also putting other species together is a great idea. Animals are smarter than we give them credit for.
I think so too, loneliness can hit any creature.
What an excellent idea. Animals in the wild don't live in isolation from each other, though the unique circumstances of being in a zoo has allowed this interaction to blossom into mutual friendship. Well done to this innovative keeper👏
It‘s not totally unheard of:
In Hamburg at Hagenbecks Tierpark they have been doing it for years.
@@vully70 Yes. While wonderful, it's really nothing new.
@@toddbennett7157 often they place animals that also in nature live in the same type of environment. the odd thing is that they mixed animals that would never encounter the other in the wild.
Orangutans aren't monkeys and otters aren't felines. Quite a few people obviously need a crash course in Zoology 101, lol!
Seriously!!! So irritating!
Came to comments to say the same ... so frustrating.
People are so stupid. I hate it when women call me an animal.
How do people make such a big mistake..shows they know zero about apes and monkeys
Came here to say the same thing. Thanks!
As the son of a university biology professor, I cringed every time he said 'monkey'. To miss-quote Foresy Gump 'I may not be a smart man, but I know what apes are'.
So did I-so dumb!
Yes, and if I remember correctly, orang-utans are not the closest species to humans, but chimpanzees are, then gorillas.
*misuqote
'monkey' in ordinary usage is a general term, he is not using it in the narrow sense as a scientific term
He also called their hands paws.
@@mareksicinski3726 it's still wrong. It's like calling a cat a dog, or a hamster a genua pig. Ape's are not Monkeys. Both are primates, but the inaccuracies totally took away from the video.
This is truly amazing. I have seen viedos of otters in peoples homes, making friends with different species, But never as cute as this.
So heartwarming to see the care and concern the zookeepers gave these animals and the ingenious solution to the problem
The solution to the problem would be to get the orangutans out of cages and set them free.
Zoos should be banned.
@@pixelarcher A lot of species, like orangutans, are kept in zoos because they need that to continue to exist.
Humans have destroyed their natural habitat, so we breed them in captivity hoping that one day all captive animals will find a safe living space in the wild.
The ideal would be to have sufficiently large nature reserves, but for political or financial reasons this is generally not possible.
Zoos raise money to care for animals, and make the public care about their welfare.
On the other hand, we must boycott parks like Marineland which imprison marine animals such as killer whales in small basins when they need to swim hundreds of kilometres.
@@RaphaelM-MG alot is no true. Zoos save hardly any species and hardly ever are they reintegrated into the wild. There are no pro arguments for Zoos they all have been debunked. Zoos even take out animals from the wild and put them in the Zoo.
@@lamasbelladelmundo impossible, they would die in the wild
Sorry but your information is incorrect…. Those otters were there long before the pandemic and has nothing to do with loneliness. Pairi Daiza is a very animal friendly zoo where they have a lot of space and distraction. The zoo is not even open all year around just to protect the animals from too much stress. They were never bored…. Let alone dying from loneliness. This zoo invests a lot into the welfare for the animals.
Do you run this zoo?
@@ginasalinas7892 yes 🤦🏻♂️
Haha burn this vid 😂
Cute pics of orangutan 🦧
You should come and have a visit and you’ll see with your own eyes. This video is fake… go to the website of pairi daiza and you’ll see how much effort they do to save these animals. There natural habitats get destroyed for the palm industry so you can wash your hair! So don’t judge….
@@sammymcfone8281 But it’s true… some parts of this video is not even in pairi daiza…
Zookeeper Matthew has certainly earned his pay. Hopefully he got a raise just for being this brilliant!
Matthew deserves an award, plain and simple.
I think that his pay is dependent of the profit the Zoo gets.
Bruh why does he never say which zoo it is or where it’s at?
Like bruh u have all this info you know the zoo workers name and all that but can’t give us the name of the zoo or where it’s at
@@danielmontoya6664 they did in the video. 0:50 around they said it was in the Pairidaiza zoo just South West of Brussels
No living creature should suffer loneliness. Everything deserves love, touch, and joy. ❤
There absolutely is something to be learned from them how they don’t care about how different they are, how it helped the orangutans mental health and how truly beautiful and amazing it is.
Everyone needs something outside themselves to make life interesting. Well done guys!
Very well said.
Yeah, nature.
I always thought I would be fine with my own company forever, as long as I had my stuff to work with (making my music and writing). but there are even limits to the most crazy homebodies of us, it seems.
I casually slipped into just not talking or doing anything with anyone for a long while and became quite literally insane. It's like your balance and reward centers get out of wack.
... started constantly stuffing my face with extremely unhealthy foods such as icing, sticks of butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract all mixed and put in warm soft wheat tortillas for every meal... laying down in bed all day watching Star Trek... getting pissed, cursing to myself out loud when I had to do tiny things likie brush my teeth or go to the grocery... my muscles just melted away and I started to look like Gollum.
things can just get weird when you're in a hole alone for a while i guess.
@@luceatlux7087 Yeah, although I'm very much a loner type and not very social, during lockdowns I went for over a year with very little human interaction and it did take a big psychological toll.
@@luceatlux7087 how long did this last or take to happen? people tell me what a lazy rotten hateful vindictive....person I am. Usually after asking them... remember that money 💰 you owe me for fixing your roof last winter. What's the worst part?

Meant to cheer you up what's your best kid joke?
Another key difference to note between the orangutans' interactions with the otters vs. human park visitors, is that they're able to actually touch and play with their new friends, rather than being separated by glass, only able to look.
I love how the young'ins run off to play, while the "adults" chat, just like humans often do!
I agree, unfortunately you can't trust humans to play nice with anything.
Orangutans are very, very social animals and need a community. They are not meant to be kept in the isolation of zoos. Im so sad about captive animals. Especially those who are healthy enough to thrive in the wild but were captured very young and cant be released because they adapted to captivity. I mean its understandable if the animals have health concerns that prevent their release, but most zoos have very unethical practices pf buying young animals that otherwise could've been rehabilitated and released.
@@stass2933 Don't be sad about captive animals because they are safer with humans. Animals are hunted in the wild and forests are becoming few. So where would they go? They are safe with us.
@@Simplythetruthfulone: If wild animals are kept in captivity then they should have plenty of land to move around on, and not be used to do tricks in a circus. Many lions, tigers and beers have been abused by circus ppl, and it's wrong to do that to a wild animal. I've seen videos of circus ppl putting wild animals like a bear or lion in small cages for years on end and that's Animal abuse, and it's why we have rescuers take them away from circus ppl and put them on wild life reservations. And often times these wild animals need dental work done on their teeth because the circus ppl neglected them, and it hurts them to eat food.
@@Simplythetruthfulone Agreed. But be sad about loss of habitat and hunting for 'bushmeat'. But also be wary of imposing 2020s rich (despite current economic tensions) western societies values on more close to the edge of surviving cultures. A difficult one, especially as we westerners got rich by being carefree about the planet and other animals
I really needed this joyful story today! What a reward this must be for one very concerned zookeeper, who opened up their world! I hope it opens many eyes and hearts. THANK YOU for sharing this with the world.
I have 3 cats. They keep me sane. Having weird little creatures sharing my living space is entertaining and comforting. We have nothing in common but mutual existence and it works well. They do cat stuff, I do human stuff, everyone's happy.
Animals have feelings just like people do. They need interaction with others, be it people or animals. Loosing the interaction that they are used too can make them lonely and depressed. They need some kind of stimulus to keep them happy. What this zoo did was genius. They created an environment that helped many different animals. Well done!
I agree 💯.I think you covered it all well.
The zookeeper bought me a smart phone to keep me occupied.
Yup. Feelings th-cam.com/video/NmaOOMxz34w/w-d-xo.html
Agree 👍
Yes indeed!!!
This is among one of the most heartwarming stories I have heard! Intuitive, caring steps taken by the keeper, and which have made all the difference in the world to the orangutans (and the playful otters)! Just a lovely story, and a joy to watch x
Epic , I know its a saying ... However i can feel an unusual warmth in my heart . Never imagined this was a literal feeling . Thanks for posting this .
What a wonderful story of friendship to see. I’m just glad the Orang-utans have found friends through this pandemic. I could imagine their how they felt. I lost my mum in March this year, my heart breaks every day, I really miss her. Being alone is no fun.
So sorry for your loss, completely understand, it hasn’t been long for you to be without her. Do you have friends? Pandemic doesn’t help matters. Other family members? Your pain will change, cherish the good memories.
@@yvellebradley2502 Thank you, in one way I’m glad she is at peace. My mum had bowel cancer & chemo, then twenty years later suffered with bladder cancer & shingles + mum had a Urinary Tract infection, I didn’t know; if gone undetected can affect your heart & brain. Mum’s went to her brain. So now she is at peace. It will always hurt, sometimes more than other times.

The world is full of people and animals looking for each other.
I hope you find peace.
Zookeepers like this are special people who are truly invested in the animals welfare. Not only did it help the orangutans and otters, the new idea has helped others as well. People can absolutely take a lesson from this. Thank you for posting this!
صصصصصصصصصصص۱
Matthew’s idea was genius! He had faith in the animals being friendly!
animals is one of the precious gift of mother nature. totally agreed with you, this zookeeper is absolutely for keeps. he has a great heart for beautiful beings.
Well said Diedra - I hope that this idea can be more widely used in other zoos around the world. And your comment about lessons for us humans - so very true x
They really earn terrible! Like Owners of such Zoos use the Animal love of People to get them make this job under bad conditions.
Otters were the perfect pick! They are so fun to watch for everyone! Sure glad moods were lifted and friendships created! That is one smart zoo administrator!
This might be the all time champ in the awwwwww how cute category.
This is such a heartwarming story. Otters are very mischievous. In Scotland we have many, and yes they are very personable lil fellas.
Thanks for putting this up. It made my day.
I am glad to hear there are otters in Scotland. Just that alone, evokes a marvellous land of fresh pristine river and sonorous water flow and running playing otters. What a gift to have nature that is alive and well.
Possibly the most heart warming video I've seen in many months. I needed this positivity.
This just touched my whole heart!! What a wonderful idea ... humans could learn so much from animals ... I hope more of these enclosures can become home to more than just one ... thank you for saving these wonderful babies!!!
Humans literally invented the idea of pets, what can we learn exactly?
Before domestication was probably co-habitation in the animal kingdom, where animals sees one another as necessity for security, shelter, or food source (indirectly).
For instance burrows made by moles and such animals may be used as shelter by other small animals. Small animals may seek security from larger animals that does not prey on them (like Rhinos and Birds or Rabbits).
Another video showing otters and monkeys getting along

You mean learn from other animals, we have the same DNA as all life on earth.We have 50% of the DNA of an Oak tree.
@@FelixMorazanorangutans are not monkeys but APES. There's a difference between the two. See.. learn something new every day!
This is what humankind should be focused to : being worldwide gardeners and foresters. Carring about plants life and animals wellness. The reward is so much better than what we are working for. Thank you this video brightened my day !
the point is to not care about them at all. Just leave them alone and they will care of themselves.
Yup, that's the whole reaosn why we have opposable thumbs...To help them....instead we hurt them.
My husband and I discuss this almost daily! We have a great responsibility to our Earth and her inhabitants, animal, plant and human! Our Earth will provide everything we need if we are wise enough to not destroy it! I truly believe that we will forever regret the destruction of our rainforests and the Amazon, we need to stop now! We have made great progress in replanting some of our forests, we need to continue while we continue to make sure we lose no more animals or plants to extinction. ❤
The main problem with keeping animals in zoos is mental stimulation, keeping them from being bored and in the case of more intelligent animals like apes & elephants providing fun is so important. The keepers here have created an interesting & fun environment for the animals to ENJOY.
Why keep them in a zoom though, they must be taken back to their natural habitat.
@@TafaraBwerinofa Without zoos many animals would be extinct. Ideally, yes no zoos and all animals in the wild, safe & free. If you think that is possible I bet you believe in world peace too. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Best we can hope for are zoos that carry out serious research in animals conservation and treat the animals in their care well.
@@MrTallpoppy58 Well you have a point, just that zoo's serve two purposes, conservation role and making money (tourism). Where do we draw the line and be honest about it?
We can trust zoos yes, but I am more in support of game parks, at least animals have the freedom to roam about in their natural habitat. Tourism still exists but animals are not in cages.
@@TafaraBwerinofa No money, no research. Game parks are few and far between. I would think zoos play a far greater role in conservation then game reserves. Very few tourist can see and hence pay to see animals in a game reserve, unless you are a millionaire. The worlds is not perfect.
@@TafaraBwerinofa The world has become a lot better for those animals that still survive. I have seen some disgraceful zoos but less and less now, thankfully. Have you ever seen Australia (Park) Zoo in Queensland. The enclosures are massive and you really need to be fit to walk it. Its why they have a train system. The enclosures are wonderfully designed, not as good as nature but close and nature does not have a medical plan.
nothing makes me feel more happy and puts a smile on my face than watching animals interacting and playing with each other-thats my fix for the day!!
Everytime this dude said “monkey”, it annoyed me more than it should have 🤣😂 haha ahhhhhhhhh but right on with the hairy friendships!
I cringed every time he said “monkey,” but it didn’t keep me from enjoying the story.
@@erickpoorbaugh6728 maybe his language origin is from a non english country. Im german and monkey and ape both translate to "Affe" so we make no difference there and call both the same. There is another word "Menschenaffe" wich literally means humanmonkey and/or humanape, but this is rarely used by anyone. Most just say "Affe" to any ape and monkey that isnt a Gorilla.
same... i began furiously typing but then just....meh
I get you, but the great apes incl. humans, old world and new world monkeys; are all monkeys.
monke
We need more people like Mathew. Thank-you for showing these amazing souls such care and devotion, the Arangutans were obviously suffering through being lonely and now look so well as they play with their Otter friends. X
It’s a fictional story.
This just proves that we're all here to make connection and to love eachother.
@Ok max or my right hand
Beautiful comment ❤ 💙 💜 💖
Blood brothers
Predators and Omnivores make connections also. Just go hug a Shark, Grizzly Bear, Lion, Tiger or Crocodile the next time you see one to get that "connection & Love" in you desire. Lofl Hell you can always go hug some herbivores like Orangutans, Apes, Rhinos or Elephants for that connective love as well. Seemed to work out for Timothy Treadwell. 😂
Yea except for all the wars and genocides xD
Baby Orangutan: "Can we get a cat?"
Adult Orangutan: "ask your father"
Baby Orangutan: "PUPPIES!!!"
LOL!!!
You gotta respect that zookeeper. He really understands his animals. They're lucky to have someone who cares so much.
its not that hard to find out that wild animals live next to each other in wild.. Only man tends to seperate them to protect their investment
Almost nothing in this video is true. Some of the photos aren’t even from this zoo. Stop watching videos that start by calling a great ape a monkey.
Animals are smarter then people. I worked with Baboons, marmosets, Rhesus, etc.... University of Miami ran test. Nothing bad. Baboons cage, rest were like 5 blocks with everything. Not a zoo. Merck pharmaceutical
Owned Rhesus. It was my
Passion 13 yrs 7dys wk
I could sit down with them, hand feed alpha 1st, 2nd rank, etc... I was alpha but we had a beautiful bond, trust. I literally spoiled them with veggies, peanuts, Crack corn, sunflower seeds. Their smarter then people. God creations. 🥰🙏❤️
Poor Orangutans lost their forests because of Humans......From South America to a Cage!
No respect is deserved for Zoo keepers. Especially when Animals are Fit for Survival in the Wild
He's a zoologist, not a zookeeper.
This is so adorable. Personalities everywhere.
Love that this worked so well.
Sometimes you just need a friend💜
I love the friendliness between the Otters and Orangutans, it just seems so natural, its just beautiful to see.
Chimpanzee would probably eat the otters a.s first like they do with other animals.
Both species are ridiculously intelligent.
Social life is equally important to human beings also. The elderly should also be kept engaged in the interests of their mental.health.
I'd prefer otters to humans myself
Male orangutans are solitary most of the time
There's a video of an elderly man who made friends with a fox during the pandemic.
Elderly in facilities are already form very close attachments to staff, and likewise. We become a substitute family. We were there for them during the COVID struggle. They saw how hard and shirt staffed we worked, but we still comforted them anyway we could. As soon as possible we had family visits through patio fences, throw plexiglass, then together with masks.
As our governments lock us down knowing a social life is important for our health, think about it.
You repeatedly refer to orangutans as "monkeys." They are not monkeys, they are apes. There's a difference.
thank you not monkeys they are apes
Chimpanze?
The Librarian (Discworld) would like a word with them.
And he was saying Orangutangs instead of Orangutans.
to me apes are a subset of monkeys, like humans are a subset of apes, they all are subsets of primates
(but I think in Dutch)
I love orangutans such gentle and pure creatures
This is a beautiful story. It’s wonderful to see the caring of the zookeepers.
It is terrible. There is no right way to do a wrong thing. Animals should be in their natural environment - not in enclosures.
whatever makes you feel better about zoos but you know deep down they are there purely for the entertainment of humans. Yes they care but only to a point and only whilst profitable.
Animals are interactive creatures as well, so it's certainly a great idea to let animals who are friendly with each other (not threats to one or the other) to have more interaction! Kudos to the zoo keepers!
“Thumbs Up” for the animal keeper ... he did a wonderful job ...
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Having ferrets, which are in the same family as otters, they are the most inquisitive little creatures I have ever encountered. They are extremely social and I think more curious than cats. I have to guess that otters are very similar with their social skills and quirky curious minds. What a great idea! Brought joy to all of their lives. I love the thought of the otters being able to swim from their enclosure to the orangutans. You can get even more creative with it. The more they can explore the happier they will be. My ferrets are free range. The thought of caging them would be like keeping a cat in a cage. It would break their little souls.
i miss my ferret Pest he was buddy! before he died got real sick turned yellow then got healthy again about 4 months later he passed away...then there was baja my albino one i got from friends mom... she loved being held and sitting on laps
&LeRoy Poleschuk wow u had a cuddly girl! None of my girls are cuddly. My boys on the other hand are big fat loves. Do u not get more bc of all the illnesses they get?
Hello everyone...I subscribe to several Otter channels on TH-cam. They were very interesting and entertaining. I can imagine they were a good addition to the Primate exhibit.
Otters are very friendly - I personally watched them play tag at an Indiana, USA zoo with a 5 year old boy. He was running alongside the aquarium glass wall, switching directions as fast as he could, while the otters swam underwater inside the glass aquarium, matching his speed and direction with ease. Every time he switched direction to try to lose his "tail" and the otter instantly flipped over and reversed direction too, the boy would shout with glee.
I also knew a native american Ojibwe medicine woman & grandmother, who tells of playing with a wild otter family as a very young girl. She was watching the otters play on a mud slide into the creek, and it looked like such fun that the girl could not resist taking a turn on the mudslide herself. This startled the whole otter family, but the adults came and circled her swimming and sniffing her while she froze, and eventually they touched her showing trust and friendship. The girl began visiting the otters daily, sharing her lunch with them. One day she had the bright idea to invite the otters to come and visit her home for a tea party, and she enticed the whole otter family to follow her home, where she fed them bits of cooked fish on her tiny tea party saucers at a short tree stump/ table just their size. A great time was had by all, and her parents were amazed, because when she previously told them about her adventures with the otters, they thought she just had vivid imaginary friends. The human family moved away shortly afterward, as it was time for the young girl to go to school and there wasn't one nearby.
This was not the first time Grandmother made friends with local wildlife; she got her childhood name "walks with bears" when she was just beginning to walk; a bear family stopped by the wilderness clearing where her family lived, and the cubs played with her, and she was steadying herself while walking by gripping the bear cub's coats as they walked beside her under mama bear's watchful eyes. When Grandmother's mama saw this, it scared her half to death; she feared what a normally over-protective mama bear could do to her bold daughter gripping the cubs, but the mama bear was very patient and caring to this tiny, hairless cub of a different species. The bears left after the grown humans showed up.
Otters can be killers
Animals, including dangerous ones, appear to be very protective of the young of any species, there are so many stories.
Great story
Otters BITE for fun. Goodbye toes.
@@coryburns9161 Otters ARE killers!
Outstanding idea! What an amazing story. Loved how each animal had their own personality. The Orangutang looked like he was teaching the otters.
Wonderful Video! Thank you for making me smile!🥰
Glad they had each other's company to entertain each other and make them all happy! It's a beautiful thing.
Good to know that there are people who have the ability to come up with ideas to enhance and perpetuate the species. This may even work with other animal groups.
Thay are not monkeys monkeys have tails apes don't orangutans have 97 percent humans DNA monkeys don't big difference
@@nergystar524 lemur, loris, and tarsiers are all apes with tails. As such it is not the primary difference, the true difference is the ancestry of a species.
I am intrigued by it. I want them to try it with the other great apes. Clearly, something similar to what makes us have a propensity for keeping pets is part of their make up too. This has emotional support animal written all over it. I want to see if gorillas would get along with other animals like this too. Coco had a cat. I would hesitate with chimps though. They’re so aggressive bonobos maybe. And definitely Gibbons.
@@erickchristensen746 you are incorrect. Lemurs and lorusses are prosimians. They are absolutely not apes with tails.
@@Hun_Uinaq
Quote:
“Lemurs are primates, an order that includes monkeys, apes and humans. Lemurs are prosimians. Other prosimians include galgoes (bushbabies) found in Africa, lorises found in Asia, and tarsiers found in Borneo and the Philippines.
It is both, animals have more then just one thing classifying them.
They are of the “Order” Primate
The company of another living thing, just goes to show it doesn't need to be the same animal (within reason), just a physical/emotional connection that is truly being craved and given freely. A wonderful, life-saving, idea by the Zookeeper.❣🌹
I love my dog and she loves me. So yeah it happens.
Yes I love that these species were introduced and they immediately found a stimulating time as friends and thrived together.
Such a shame the voice doesn't know how to pronounce the word Orangutan, and that they are not monkeys. Monkeys have tails. Orangutans are apes.

Lol, precisely.
@@1neAdam12 8+)
@@reesecarr2105 Many zoo animals today were never free. Some were, technically speaking, but were rescued from a certain death in the wilderness or from poachers/smugglers' hands and relocated into a zoo. Great many of the animals would be unable to survive in the wilds anymore, many would have no suitable environment left to return to. Orangutans, like all the great apes, are suffering from habitat loss.
While I agree on especially many mammals and birds, with their more developed brains (compared to snakes, lizards, insects, and such), suffering from living in captivity, and thus I see zoos as sad places, the individual animals in them often have no better alternatives whatsoever. That's why it's essential to try to make the zoos internally better places. Unfortunately zoos aren't financial gold mines, so developing them is economically difficult.
@@herrakaarme they were kidnapped. and they were sold. if they really wanted to help they would be in a sanctuary

IT IS GREAT! ILOVE IT! THANK YOU!
I find it strange that different species were "discovered" to be able to live and play together. Anyone that has ever had a farm or ranch knows this. I have dogs playing with goats. When we had cows, the goats would often come to them and play and they would try to headbutt each other. We would give cracked corn in a 50 gallon barrel that had been cut in half length-wise so they would come when we called them. One of the goats got smart and she would lie in the barrel and eat to her heart's content. The cows would try to get her out with their horns but could not as she laid real low. The cows would start bellowing their displeasure. :D The cows would even play with our dogs. And of course, many of them wanted to be with us or play with us. Elsie, one of cows, would run over to my wife for her to scratch her neck. Some of the goats would jump on us. Many of the animals wanted little "snacks" that we had for them and would try to sniff our pockets and nudge us for them.
what a very funny story, isn't it so cute to live in this farm?!
When I used to help out at the stable when I was a kid, we also had a few cows, maybe 20 head tops. They learnt to recognise my hi vis, because I always had a few scraps in my pocket. Of course, that meant that when someone else borrowed the jacket, the cows harassed them too 😁
They probably just made the video for people that don't know better. This guy doesn't even pronounce their name correctly so he's not so smart.
Nice story!!!
did those animals get sent to slaughter?
What a beautiful story! That someone thought about these animals and then found a way to help them! I love how the orangutans and humans compared emotionally. Lonliness kills
I dunno man, but orangutan are solitary animal. So i think loneliness not to be an issue to this animal
Another video showing otters and monkeys getting along

I’m glad that the zoo keeper was inventive with solving the depressed orangutans… brilliant❤️
We are still far from knowning how much smart and sensitive animals really are.
I love the story and how the Orangutangs were helped out of lonliness....by making friends with the otters...I am glad!
🤩 ❤️💛💙 💓💕💓
Its so amazing that they understand, the otters are so much smaller then them, & they are so gentle with them!! Such beautiful intelligent creatures!!
Me: "Oh wow. I would love to see video of Orangutans actually playing with Otters!"
Life Stories: "Great! Here are some pictures while we describe it to you..."
I was thinking the same thing. 😂
Spectacular idea! Please share the interactions with the other animals!
This story reminds me of my last bullmastiff. She was a very gentle girl, wouldn’t even defend herself. When we had horses visit our property in Connecticut she happily trotted towards them. Turkeys were the only creatures she didn’t try making friends with but then again it was because she didn’t know what to make of them. Also our eldest current dog used to howl alongside the coyotes at night. It was really creepy because we could hear they were close to the property. We don’t live anywhere near coyotes currently so we don’t get those nighttime howling serenades.
Mixed species exhibits are fairly common in zoological facilities. It informs visitors about a given species natural range/distribution and helps people envision actual biosystems, while providing much needed diversion for captive creatures. It's called "behavioral enrichment".
In my hometown in a small zoo, a lonely orangutan was given a kitten. It was love at first sight. His keeper write a childrens book about the friendship.
My goodness, it sure looks like a success for all! I hope that this trend builds up the connections so deeply missed and that it's a wonderful example. Thank you for sharing this!
This was a great idea! Seeing the orangutans and otters hanging out and playing together was adorable and heartwarming.
Animals are nicer to each other than humans are.
No, they arent. Thats Disneyfied bullshit. There are no animal charities, animals dont sacrifice to help others like humans do. Sure, there are bad humans, but there are great humans, too.
Makes you wonder what we are teaching our young

I've always loved otters, so I'm sure the orangutans did too. Otters are such happy little critters.Having a bunch show up in your neighborhood would be a great thing.

So you never saw the video where a group of otters drown a monkey in a zoo, huh?
The otters who killed the monkey were provoked; I saw the video. I'm the same way; at heart, I'm a nice guy. "Fuck around and find out."
I don't think you would love otters if you researched these dark animals

Actually it's been happening for a while, in some zoos the gorillas share their enclosures with macaques or even meerkats.
@@deadsmoke198 Gorillas are sweethearts.
Maybe not having them in a zoo, to begin with, would be sensitive. Making them a prisoner is cruel and only should be done when living in the wild is not possible. Those who attend zoos are to blame for the pain of a lot of animals.
@@georgeedward602 Do you understand that most zoo animals are not able to live in the wild either due to debilitating injury or being raised in captivity but don't be upset because the money that the zoo's make when people come to view the animals goes directly to funding the species preservation so zoos are good for the species as a whole

Unfortunately like our 99 percent of DNA cousins the Chimps we like to go to war with each other it part of the tribalism instinct that is the core of racism and classism.
And our other 99 precent cousin the Bonobo shows how primitive man reduced that by having sex constantly all ages and sex and combinations. And Bonobo females actually go out of heat for a short while every month while human females never go out of heat, humans the most sexual animal and have great health benefits from sex and skin-ship. Unfortunately sexually transmitted disease and other disease that did not exist in nomadic tribes came into existence after agriculture as populations that could maintain the disease came into existence. Thus the crude cultural rules in more "civilized" areas preventing free sex and close contact. As the vast majority of man has not adapted the lack of full sexual play certainly has taken us closer to our Chimp side. There is a lot of truth to "Make Love not War" unfortunately ended by AIDS.
