- It just so happens that animals make friends only with their own kind or similar animals. Sure, there have been instances when a cat got along with a puppy. However, there have also been cases of completely unusual interactions, such that they’re even difficult to believe in. It’s actually very entertaining to watch how these animals try to communicate with each other, and it’s interesting to try and find the reason behind this relationship.

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!
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.
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”.

Love this heartwarming story. Give this zookeeper a raise and a bonus!
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!!!" :-)
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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. ❤
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.
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.
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.
Love & friendship comes in all forms!! Bless that zookeeper!!
We are still far from knowning how much smart and sensitive animals really are.
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.
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
@@newestengineer 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 !
This is so adorable. Personalities everywhere.
Love that this worked so well.
Sometimes you just need a friend💜
I can't help but feel very sorry for captured animals. I'm glad that these two groups have given each other some company.
theyre typically "captured" because theyre injured in a way where they are going to die. so they save them, but then they cant be released back into the wild and survive on their own. At least thats how ethical zoos work.
they are not 'captured', probably conservation zoo bred in order to keep certain species from going extinct by ruthless humans in their home countries. The old concept of 'zoos' is a thing of the past. Its now all about conservation. There are still some people who have had the old concepts indoctrinated into them at school etc.
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
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 was a great idea! Seeing the orangutans and otters hanging out and playing together was adorable and heartwarming.
I used to live on a boat and this group of 3 otters used to hang around, I'd give them the occasional treat but mostly they just seemed to want to socialize and show off and do acrobatics in the water, then they began leaving "gifts" exactly as some cats do, fish heads, pieces of crab, etc. They are amazing creatures.
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
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 think that is so beautiful. Animals are way more caring, very smart and most of all alot more loving and forgiveness than humans are. God bless our animals.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Super awesome story ❤
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…
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 idea that their together!! What amazing caring folks 💕💕💕
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
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.
@Pretty Puppy 🐶 Thank you. Very true, something we all need if we would only admit it.🌹🙂
Yeagh my roachs
Loved watching this video and the interaction of the growing friendship of an unlikely pairing. Great that the zoo keepers had the best interests of the orangutans and were able to stop the state of depression.
This was an amazing, heartfelt story. Thank you for sharing!
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
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.
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.
This makes me so happy! I never considered how the pandemic affected zoo animals. I love the idea! well done!
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
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)
This is my favorite kind of story, love developing between two different species. I think it happens a lot more than we realize, but it shows how animals aren't all instinct, how they have big beating hearts just like us.
Wow mind blowing!!! I'm a very hard person to impress BUT this is fantastic. Thank you for coming up with that idea because I love animals an would of been upset if they got sick ect. I really love watching how they interact with each other definitely made my day.🎉🎉🎉
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.
@@watsollndit 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
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!!
That is one smart and kind man beautiful!!❤❤
I, being human, have a very best friend who happens to be a cat. It's not that unusual, two species hanging out and loving life together. The more pals, the better, I'd say. 👍
I, being human, love the great apes, and I am sworn to protect them along with all vulnerable animals ... ❤
@@microchip1697 you are also a great ape. Just one not covered in dense fur.

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.

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 story is what we all need. We are all more the same than we are different. Thank you ❤❤
I am an animal lover to begin with but the Orangutan is up in my top 5 and has been for decades. There was, at one time (He is probably "gone" by now) an Orangutan at the Milwaukee Zoo that LOVED to interact with the visitors MUCH more than others. He would "preform" by doing rolls, jumping on the tire swing and just act like a clown, periodically stopping to laugh boisterously and applaud himself. He would do this for a few minutes then he would end the performance with his signature move. There were a few different ways he would do it, but my favorite was he would turn his back to the glass, bend over and look at the people them laugh in that position while he flipped you off! EVERYONE would just die laughing which made him even happier!!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
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.
@@jenninehill5694 Very sorry for your loss. I hope you find someone or something to keep you company, like you said, being alone is no fun. Take care
@@TheTeoras1 Thank you Teo, very kind of you.
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.
“Thumbs Up” for the animal keeper ... he did a wonderful job ...
What an awesome story. I LOVE IT and having natural red hair myself, I think they are special already...>LOL Blessings.
It’s great that Matthew did this for the animals. Now we need someone, like Matthew, to get humans to do this with each other. Human loneliness is an increasing problem.
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.
Animals need company too. Koko , the famous Gorilla who learnt sign language, asked her keepers for a kitten. They obliged.😁👏
Well done Sherlock Holmes. Have you only just found this 10 year old information out. Honestly sometimes it’s best to keep quite in these videos and people what watch them. As 99% of them will know. Save the embarrassment young-an.
The first, famous kitten of KOKO’s, she named “All-Ball”, bc the kitten was a Manx mix, a rumpy. She was quite happy with A-B, an I don’t blame her a bit!
@@joeburrows6 Wow how tone deaf considering that in the 10 years since then other scientists have found the study flawed and to say koko ever learned sign language is stretching the truth. The real moral here, Our understanding of knowledge often develops overtime and there is nothing wrong with that.
@@joeburrows6 No. I chose to use it as a

@@Sir.InfinityTGK watch Koko talk with Robin Williams, the late comic/actor. Also watch the YT clip where a Zoo visitor offers a banana to a Gorilla ( from behind the barrier) . The Gorilla points to a keeper (off screen) & shakes his head!
No living creature should suffer loneliness. Everything deserves love, touch, and joy. ❤
This is amazing! It’s so sad when loneliness or depression sets in for humans or animals. 🥲 The zookeeper saved the day! Beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Humans ARE animals. Get it right!
Zookeepers are who stole them from their habitat and made them depressed. Basically the otters are nothing more than a Nintendo game console for the orangutan.
@@1neAdam12 If you say so.
That was an amazing video, my husband and I watched it with tears in our eyes. Thankyou for sharing this post with us.
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.
This is just too cool. Never would have guesssed this pair of.species would have hit it off. Just Wow!
This is simply magical ✨️. What pure souls animals have. 🦧🐵❤
I’m glad that the zoo keeper was inventive with solving the depressed orangutans… brilliant❤️
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!
Otters are quite the playful things we had some in the crick next to us and I'd watch them play for hours floating and sliding down the bank it was so cool how they float on their backs with their hands crossed just chilling 😁👍🏼
kudos to all involved in recognizing and attending to this major jump in animal husbandry.
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 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.
The San Diego Zoo has orangutans and siamangs in the same enclosure as they share the same habitat in the wild. Their interactions are heartwarming and very funny most of the time. Siamangs can be rather naughty toward the orangutans and it's always fun to see what they get up to.
This is just damn amazing it made me cry. It's beautiful ❤thank you I hate zoos cause of taking these animals out of there homes but this made me happy
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 is the most positive event in animal captivity that I have heard of so far! I’m so impressed❤️🧡💜💚💛🤍💙🤎❣️✨
Such a wonderful story of inter species relations. We need to pay attention to this!
Amazing! What a great idea! I hope other zoos take heed and follow the example.
I appreciate that you got straight to the point and didn't repeat yourself for 5 minutes like so many other similar channels where they have a good point but it repeats on a loop and finally makes the point. I'll watch more of this channel if all your stories are like this. Nice job 👍🏾
@glasshousefuture, I totally agree with you! The narrators of most other channels don't get to the point of the actual story. There is too much blah blah blah in order to get more minutes in.

The 'Left's' best selling points used to be Compassion and Liberty . Something must be clogging our compassion . and we do know now WHO is retarding our liberties. 🔎 Who is WHO ? in any Legitimate SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT there has to be a CONTROL GROUP ---
Guess the control-group in this case (of corona) must be them greedy-sadistic control-freak AUTHORITARIAN Billionaire$ $ponsoring the BLIND OBEDIENCE to authority tests.
Check out Stanley Milgram's 'Blind Obedience to Assumed Authority' Experiments :
th-cam.com/video/y9l_puxcrlM/w-d-xo.html
where unsuspecting test subjects were paid $100 by an actor in a Lab Coat to deliver electric shocks to actors if they did not answer questions correctly. 80% overlooked the fact that the actors were screaming and pleading for their lives,
and still went through with the test untill there was only silence from the pressumed dead actor.
Only a few refused to continue --- and very few actually attacked the sadistic scientists for being so sick and evil.
i guess them evil masterminds figure us humanoid life forms are too schmuck to resist --- no wonder they act so blatantly high and mighty.

People who allready have compromised immune systems are even more likely to have adverse reactions to both 5G oppression technology and the quick 'fix' injections. TOXIC chemicals and (greedy-sadistic logic) are what compromized our immune systems in the first place.
What the 'Whax' does is 'COMPROMISE' our natural immune systems further.
Natural immunity is REFUSING to compromise with devils hellbent on TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION.
Let's Not let ANYTHING Compromize our most cherished earthly divine inspired principals.
Purity of intention is the primary most vital virtue.

I can't watch that channel - so much waffle before they get to the point.
I throughly enjoyed it as well best part was the pictures. Had it bin video then I would have bin extremely disappointed. This is a must watch channel
Glad they had each other's company to entertain each other and make them all happy! It's a beautiful thing.
A companion makes a world of difference to any truly lonely person, it doesn't just apply to great apes and monkeys, that's for sure.
What a wonderful story and pictures! Thank you!!!
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.
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!
Thanks for sharing this!!!
I appreciate you 😁
Who would have thought that Orangutans and Otters would be good friends. Wow the guy that came up with this is a genius for sure.
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

Matthew thank you for going above and beyond to help these wonderful animals. The world needs more of you.
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. 😂
I love it! ❤
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.
Baby Orangutan: "Can we get a cat?"
Adult Orangutan: "ask your father"
Baby Orangutan: "PUPPIES!!!"
LOL!!!
Kudos to Methew for doing this, it is done in the Zoo in Hamburg for many years. And there the otters try to tease the Orangutans quite often and sometimes have to be locked away ;-)
I love it! This is so special and I think, a beautiful think to see. Thank you
I love the story and how the Orangutangs were helped out of lonliness....by making friends with the otters...I am glad!
🤩 ❤️💛💙 💓💕💓
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!
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing how you have given all of these animals exactly what they needed - human kindness and the company of others in nature to enrich their lives.
Outstanding idea i think it is great and the photos are amazing seeing these critters playing together.
I love this story❣️ It interesting, but makes sense, that orangutans are animal lovers like us. Thank you for taking the chance that all these precious creatures would benefit from your idea! It warms my heart♥️
Yes, as you say, most intelligent and caring humans regard their "pets" as friends, and "play" is also fun for those taking part. I'm so glad the otters and Orangutans found new friends.
Wonderful Video! Thank you for making me smile!🥰
dogs are mans best friends...
a perfect combination.
The announcer INSISTS ON CALLING ORANGUTANS “Monkeys” FACEPALM
Yes... unbelievable..."educational"?...you got to know some basic stuff surely before pronouncing to the world? ..
He even called their hands, Paws!!!!!!!!
You're right, they are not monkeys, they are among the great apes. He also insists on pronouncing Orangutans with a final "g", which drives me up a wall.
He also shows no video of the interactions, which is what I was hoping for when I clicked the video. It's as if a smooth, soothing voice is supposed to overcome this and his unbelievable ignorance of great apes.
Maybe the Orangutans prefered pronoun is "Monkey."
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?
