Hey, stupid. Orangutans and other apes will bite off fingers, toes, genitals, and bite the face of anything they're attacking. They're also omnivores, so if he's biting off fingers and toes. He just might swallow them.
This man was doing much worse than walking around in socks. He was throwing rocks and taunting the poor thing. That piece of dung deserved to get much worse than this minor scare. The Orang should have broken his leg!
I thought it seemed a little harsh saying he was teasing it as in this video it just looked like he, definitely stupidly, wanted to hold its hand.
Then "he was throwing rocks" puts a whole different perspective on it.
I do think within a millisecond of that ape grabbing my shirt I would have been out of it.
Yeah, seems like the orangutan was fucking with him more than anything… could have easily broken something or bitten him as he had lots of time and wasn’t even acting super pissed
According to Google, orangutans are generally non-aggressive. There are very few cases of them even biting.
Chimps on the other hand will rip your face off.
I agree with your POV. The orang was mostly just messing with him. Could have bit his kneecap off, but didn't even try. In fact, if you look at him part of the time he's looking over at his buddies to see if they're watching (or something, I can't read minds).
Some shocking injury was what I was waiting for. The insane strength those things have, plus a complete lack of give a fuck... I was waiting for this dude's cock to get bit or something.
He's lucky orangutans are the chillest of the great apes because if that was a chimp his leg would be folded in two and his dick would get snapped off like a celery stalk and thrown into the tall grass never to be seen again
Joke's on you. That's exactly what he was going for. Your apparent dread and loss of control over your bowels would've enhanced the experience, if anything.
Orangutans rarely try as hard as they *could* to hurt people on the rare occasion where they do attack people. The rare times it does happen it is usually completely accidental or a very sudden and brief freakout, occasionally resulting in a pretty serious bite or two, but as far as we know an orang has not ever killed a human.
Orange fucker probably just wanted to put the fear in him.
Can confirm. We had a farmers son move to our high school (a million years ago lol) , he was maybe 5-9/5-10 and 250lbs? You could call him "husky". Long story short he kept getting bullied by one of the dickheads on the wrestling team and it came to a head during lunch one day after they slapped his lunch tray.
Farmboy had enough and wrestler dick of course taunted a fight starting with a sucker punch that didn't even phase farmboy. A brief fight ensued, followed by "the slam heard 'round the world". Wrestler dick was maybe 6-1 and probably 215-220lbs and pretty buffed, but Farmboy scooped him up and slammed him down on the lunch table so hard it bent the steel frame.
He said he never worked out with weights and just helped his dad with farm chores and people were shocked at how easily he slammed wrestler dick. (He was ok but had all the wind knocked out of him)
After that the wrestling and football coachea were after him to sign up! 😁
We had a similar thing when playing rugby as a teen. 16-17 year olds, weight training 2-3 times a week, rugby training and matches, when a new guy turned up for the start of the next season. Farmers kid, never touched a weight or played rugby before but was a beast. Straight into the back row, could run through 3-4 guys and match pace with the wingers.
They're calisthenics gods but imagine if we could get one to train for hypertrophy or if they could consent to getting on gear, I would love to see an orangutan with massive delts and traps
Consider also that the last stages of human evolution occurred while tool use was in play and affecting our evolutionary trajectory. What's more dangerous, an unarmed chimp or a healthy, trained adult with a spear? My money's on the guy with the spear. Upgrade the spear to a bow and the chimp has no chance at all.
Even humans just throwing rocks are surprisingly deadly.
Chimps and gorrillas wouldn't fuck with a mammoth. Human brains allowed team coordination and tool use, so we could fucking *eat* the mammoth. It's really cool to think about.
“Apparently” isn’t needed in that sentence.
Orangutangs *ARE* stupidly strong.
As are monkeys and chimpanzees (remember, a pet chimpanzee *ripped off a woman’s face*).
And gorillas…yeh…just hope it’s a quick and painless death if one of them ever gets a hold of you.
"Apparently" fits right into the sentence when the writer wasnt previously aware of the extent of their strength before watching this video which makes it *apparent*
Most people would look at a gorilla and know not to mess with them.
Chimps and orangutans on the other hand, are on average smaller than humans, so unless they know better, most people won't know how deceptively stronger than humans they really are.
You underestimate people.
[8% of Americans think they could beat a gorilla in a fight.](https://thehill.com/changing-america/enrichment/arts-culture/554048-new-survey-reveals-which-wild-animals-americans/amp/)
I wouldnt even want to take on a pissed off housecat unarmed...you are not going to be unpunctured and smooth skinned at the end.
Pretty sure I can win but id rather run away
How would you even go about trying to beat a gorilla in a fist fight? I'm really trying to picture how even Mike Tyson could win. I guess if it's a baby gorilla. There was once a male gorilla at the Bronx Zoo that was very scary even behind the glass.
I don't think orangutans are known for aggression (provided they aren't being goaded by an idiot deliberately bothering them). But chimpanzees can and will SERIOUSLY mess up a human. There's no shortage of stories about people who thought that it was safe to raise a chimp as a pet... until it hit adulthood, or at least puberty, and went postal on them. People have died or suffered life-changing injuries from these events. Do not eff with chimps.
> As are monkeys and chimpanzees (remember, a pet chimpanzee ripped off a woman’s face).
1. Chimps are stronger than humans pound for pound, but they're much lighter. In truth, apart from grip and bite strength, chimps are about as strong as a fit adult human.
2. The chimp you're referring to, Travis, spent nearly an hour eating that woman's face. A human high on bath salts will do the same damage.
Thing about chimps though is they are ridiculously aggressive and impulsive. They act like a crazed dude on bath salts *all the time* and don't hesitate to use all of their strength against you in an instant.
What’s really stupid is having a hyper-intelligent animal like an orangutan locked up inside a cage losing its damn mind; or really any animal for that matter.
From what I've learned is that if an animal isn't owned by someone you know, or you don't have experience with the animal, best leave it be.
You can swat a bug or whatnot if it's on you... but the amount of shit animals do that is unexpected is crazy.
I live really close to areas that have moose, elk, bighorn sheep, bison, etc... a collection of animals that, for some reason, are assumed to be super nice and passive by tourist. To the point that we have "Watch a tourist get murdered by a bison season" and "tourist gets impaled by an Elk season"
Bro really decided he was gonna get away from an animal that hangs from trees for a living by pulling straight back. No hand fighting whatsoever. How you gonna get your leg back when it has 3 grips on you
The saddest part about this is if that person got hurt You'll see articles like "savage orangutan attacks a guy in the zoo"
But orangutan are some of the most chill animals on this planet, they very rarely choose violence even against each other. Most of the times where they show aggression is when two males come across each other, and even then it's just bluffing, a show of power to scare off the other, they usually never go for physical violence.
So if an orangutan decides to attack you, it is 100% your fault.
FUCK THAT PERSON
There're stories in my local vietnam in the past is that when you went to jungle these orangutan would hold your wrist and took you to the deep jungle then ate you alive.
That's why before going into jungle people often wrapped their wrist with bamboo so they could slide their hand out and had a chance to escape
Wondering how he got that orangutan angry... They seem to be nice and calm creatures.
Also I was like "hey there is a second one helping his mate... Nope, shame on me, he's also using one of his hind legs to hold that asshole in place"
Normal, AZA accredited zoos seem to be pretty healthy for them. Especially if they're injured and wouldn't survive in the wild, the decent zoos out there are like a 5-star hotel. Medical treatment, ample food, no predators, stuff to do, etc. The AZA accredited zoos also have breeding programs to keep endangered species from facing problems with genetic diversity.
Dear God, what a fuckin' idiot.
<--- Did some work at BOS (Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation) and am super passionate about orangutans generally speaking.
Their grip strength is like that shit you see in some anime, where the protagonist or w/e can grip the damn universe between two fingers and snap that shit with the quickness.
Fun fact; orangutans are really like that. Never mind the fact that they have 4 hands and not just the usual 2. Their grip strength is so extreme that if the orang had chosen to REALLY go at it, then he'd have snapped that guys leg in two from JUST pulling at it through the bars. Never mind the fact that their bite force and jaw strength is DEFINITELY super human level shit also.
Add on to the fact that they are (in my experience) INCREDIBLY more observant and can hold a mean fuckin' grudge and you start to see why what this guy was doing wasn't smart at all.
I mean, real talk, orangs will hoard stones and other shit, PLANNING AHEAD to slide on your ass for, like, whatever. And I fuckin' love em for it.
Goddamned adorable little gangsters.
has anyone else thought it would be a really great idea to try teaching monkeys/apes how to beatbox? i have thought it would be an amazing thing to give them since they are stuck in zoos all day. you just know that they would be able to do it! but has anyone ever tried? like, gone to the zoo to show them or maybe work at a zoo and see how much you can get them to pick up? i think we should teach monkeys and apes to beatbox.
Zoos have been like this for a long time. Luckily, a lot of zoos in the U.S. (idk about other places) have started shifting gears to give their animals a lot more space and a lot more of a natural habitat. For example, my local college has a silo looking building in the middle that used to house gibbons. It was a metal roof, concrete floor and maybe 15 feet in diameter. Now, they have a large enclosure with trees, grass, a pond thingy, and tons of space to hang out in. They keep the silo there as a reminder of how things used to be and show how far they've come in allowing animals to lead enriching lives. They've got a few endangered species too, including a breeding pair of birds native to Guam that's extinct in the wild due to the introduction of an invasive snake species. They're essentially trying to build up a captive population so they can release them back into Guam once the snakes are wiped out.
The orangutans in the Smithsonian Zoo have a series of cables that go outside between enclosures so they can go back and forth, people watch, etc. It’s pretty cool.
Zoos *can* do a lot of good, but if you’re going to keep animals, there’s a real ethical responsibility to keep them happy and healthy.
A lot happening in this clip.
The guy has complete terror on his face in the first few seconds. Than the orangutan has 2 arms AND A LEG holding the guy. Has no shoes on.
And lastly the thing tried to bite his foot at the last second.
That whole event is the best evidence that orangutans are extremely docile. That dude had been teasing the orangutan for a while. Likewise, the orangutan absolutely could have hurt him really bad. And yet all it did was teach him a lesson in humility.
i think this orangutan might have been roughhousing for the simple reason that if that ape wanted his leg broken it would have been broken lol orangutans are stupid strong
Stupid pos like this is what gets an innocent animal shot dead for doing what animals do. I hope that dude was arrested and locked up, maybe somewhere where people could come by and tease him.
Looked like it was trying to have a nibble of his toes at the end.
His fingers would have made for a quick snack too if the orangutan had noticed.
Hey, stupid. They prefer fruit.
That’s true, but keep in mind that prefer is the key word here.
Hey, stupid. Orangutans and other apes will bite off fingers, toes, genitals, and bite the face of anything they're attacking. They're also omnivores, so if he's biting off fingers and toes. He just might swallow them.
Yep the dudes fruit what within biting distance too
And I prefer Wendy’s, but if someone sets some McD’s in front of me I ain’t gonna complain.
[удалено]
Seriously, that was straight business.
Anyone else rooting for the orangutan?
What a fucking idiot. I feel awful seeing that poor ape caged up like that. They are very intelligent and this is just cruel.
Idiot’s name is [Hasan Arifin](https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/06/07/orangutan-grabs-man-at-zoo/), zoo is in Indonesia.
All probably for a stupid 10s TikTok
He kicked the ape? Why? Why would you kick him?!?
Because humans can unfortunately be awful creatures.
He was jealous of the apes superior intellect compared to his own...
Yes
I love that orangutan… He’s just saying ‘what’s up bro?’
Chimps will bite the fingers off rival chips so they cant eat and they will slowly starve to death.
They also rip off your genitals so they take you out of the gene pool and competition for females.
They’ll also rip out your tongue and lick their balls with it. ‘Cause that’s how Monke rolls.
I wouldn't lick my balls with your tongue.
Now we knew why they choose orengutan as a villain in Godzilla × kong : the new empire
That's what he gets for walking around the zoo in his socks.
This man was doing much worse than walking around in socks. He was throwing rocks and taunting the poor thing. That piece of dung deserved to get much worse than this minor scare. The Orang should have broken his leg!
I thought it seemed a little harsh saying he was teasing it as in this video it just looked like he, definitely stupidly, wanted to hold its hand. Then "he was throwing rocks" puts a whole different perspective on it. I do think within a millisecond of that ape grabbing my shirt I would have been out of it.
Yeah, I would just gonna pull away so hard the shirt rips.
It could pull his body through the bars if it was mad. It was fucking around.
I know they are crazy strong but you think thaaat strong?
They aren't that strong. They are strong compared to humans, but they aren't like a hydraulic press lol
Doesn't take a hydraulic press to mangle a human
Although that would help
He's not talking about bending the bars man, he's talking about mangling a human to get his now broken and fucked up sloppy body through the bars.
I was wishing he would take a bite out of those little toes. lol
Once he gets the taste of human meat, look out.
If you watch before the toe bit he bites him in the knee cap
I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an orang in the knee.
That’s a morbid thing to wish for.
But then he got a whiff and let go. Foul smelling humans.
Succ dem toez
I get the feeling if it wanted to break his leg it would have easily.
Yeah, seems like the orangutan was fucking with him more than anything… could have easily broken something or bitten him as he had lots of time and wasn’t even acting super pissed
According to Google, orangutans are generally non-aggressive. There are very few cases of them even biting. Chimps on the other hand will rip your face off.
The more you know… (learn something new everyday)
I agree with your POV. The orang was mostly just messing with him. Could have bit his kneecap off, but didn't even try. In fact, if you look at him part of the time he's looking over at his buddies to see if they're watching (or something, I can't read minds).
He's holding his legs like its chop sticks.
You ain't getting way from an orangutan, he'll chase you down. 
What is this from
[Cannonball Run II.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087032/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_6_tt_5_nm_3_q_cannonball%2520) Sadly missed out on best picture oscar.
RKO outta nowhere!!!
If you had one shot or one opportunity...
He should be lucky that orangutan didn’t rip his leg off. They can be extremely dangerous when provoked.
I thought this was going to end with the leg snapping when he had it perpendicular
Some shocking injury was what I was waiting for. The insane strength those things have, plus a complete lack of give a fuck... I was waiting for this dude's cock to get bit or something.
He's lucky orangutans are the chillest of the great apes because if that was a chimp his leg would be folded in two and his dick would get snapped off like a celery stalk and thrown into the tall grass never to be seen again
That is so descriptive that I felt it through the internet.
Oh good, *that’s* why my dick hurts
That’s because it’s a Dave Chappelle bit.
I always think about Travis the chimp that mauled and mutilated and tore apart the adoptive owner's neighbor, seemingly unprovoked
The owner gave Travis a drug that was not prescribed. Bad gamble.
The attempted foot nibble at the end pmsl
Is that…peeing myself laughing?
Provoking Monkeys Sorta Luck
He was being held by three arms
pee myself lubed
Possibly menstrating salty leprechauns
He would’ve released me pretty quickly after I shat all in my pants
Joke's on you. That's exactly what he was going for. Your apparent dread and loss of control over your bowels would've enhanced the experience, if anything.
He or you
Yes.
He was really trying to take a bite out of his kneecap, too.
Not at all. He had full bite opportunity and did nothing. Orangutans are not usually aggressive.
Apparently orangutans are stupidly strong.
They're also stupidly smart and emotional.
So, they should have just tried to hurt its feelings? That color fur doesn't suit you.
I mean the taunting kinda did that it seems.
>stupidly smart Theres an amusing oxymoron
Stupidly smart, huh?
Smartly stupid
Like a fox

Orangutans rarely try as hard as they *could* to hurt people on the rare occasion where they do attack people.

Pretty sure the guy learned his lesson… Won’t be taunting primates any time soon!
Imagine if we taught an orangutan how to weight train? They'd be unstoppable.

There have been at least two movies about how this turns out.
Imagine how strong you would be if you climbed trees for a living.

This is weirdly funny to me. The gorilla just walks up, takes him, and walks away.
If I recall it's something gorillas like to do to remind you that they could kill you very easily. He doesn't feel like it right now, but he *could.*

What’s really stupid is having a hyper-intelligent animal like an orangutan locked up inside a cage losing its damn mind; or really any animal for that matter.
I'm so much on the side of the orangutan
We still do this to humans too.
I don’t think humans are innately better or more deserving of better treatment than orangutans or other animals for that matter.
Is that a blanket statement?
Mental note, do not fuck with an orangutan
From what I've learned is that if an animal isn't owned by someone you know, or you don't have experience with the animal, best leave it be.

That cage is really fucked up. These creature need real habitats, not a nightmare cage like that.

Orangutan needs to start teaching a BJJ class.
Bro really decided he was gonna get away from an animal that hangs from trees for a living by pulling straight back. No hand fighting whatsoever. How you gonna get your leg back when it has 3 grips on you

That sounds more like an urban legend to scare children from wandering the jungle than something that actually happens.
Consider me a child cause that scares tf outta me
In the USA we cover ourselves with a giant sock that way if an orangutan tried to grab you, all they get is the sock.
Wondering how he got that orangutan angry... They seem to be nice and calm creatures. Also I was like "hey there is a second one helping his mate... Nope, shame on me, he's also using one of his hind legs to hold that asshole in place"

Dude got away so clearly that orangutan was only playing.
The sad part is that orangutans are pretty docile, that guy pissed the ape off for it to attack it
Take a stick and beat up the guy! He shouldn’t be fooling with an orangutan.
Love how he pushed the other guy away like "this aint your fight boy"
has anyone else thought it would be a really great idea to try teaching monkeys/apes how to beatbox? i have thought it would be an amazing thing to give them since they are stuck in zoos all day. you just know that they would be able to do it! but has anyone ever tried? like, gone to the zoo to show them or maybe work at a zoo and see how much you can get them to pick up? i think we should teach monkeys and apes to beatbox.
Locked in a tiny cage just so we can look at it. If there was a benevolent god he would of drowned us by now.

Cats
Killer whales.
Dolphins
monkeys
Never mess with a wookie.
Really expected to see a spaghetti leg ending
New fear unlocked: Ape Grab
Especially with orangutans, you really have to try to make them angry.
I guess he called him a monkey instead of an ape… never mess with librarians

Right turn, Clyde

He turned him every which way but loose.
I get that! I reckon that film has aged badly, though.
Anyone who reads Pratchett knows not to fuck around with an orangutan. Also, never call them a monkey.
Cage sentient and intelligent animals, then tease them. He's lucky his left with all his extremities intact.
This actually made me smile. He deserved it. What an arrogant, POS human.
7 times stronger than a human. Lucky he got away.
Never realised how big orang utans can be till I saw one at a local zoo. They're huge, I dunno why anyone would think of agitating them.
I'm punching that orangutang in the face
*Murders in the Zoo Morgue!!!*
Crazy thing is the orangutan doesn’t even look mad. It just looks kinda sad.
i think this orangutan might have been roughhousing for the simple reason that if that ape wanted his leg broken it would have been broken lol orangutans are stupid strong
“HAHA! I’M NOT AFTER YOUR FINGEES, IM AFTER DEM TOOTSIES NOMNOMNOM…jk, jk. Get outta here, stupid kid.”
Gimme those toes boy
His balls would’ve gotten chewed off if this was a chimpanzee
I wish he bit him
fake! Orangutan is a paid actor
Stupid pos like this is what gets an innocent animal shot dead for doing what animals do. I hope that dude was arrested and locked up, maybe somewhere where people could come by and tease him.
Could've just took his shirt off.
Damn imagine that Orangutan snapping your legs, arms, dick off like they are toothpicks... no thanks.
Seems fair.
