- BABY APE FOREST SCHOOL teaches orphaned chimps, gorillas, and orangutans what they need to survive. Dedicated 24/7 caregivers save lives and help orphans grow in Forest School.
Great Ape orphans from illegal poaching and habitat loss pour into sanctuaries across Equatorial Africa and Borneo and Sumatra. Forest Schools are critical to getting lost lives back on track and perhaps back into the wild.

I'm a grown man, construction worker and consider myself a pretty tough guy.....until I see orphaned orangutans then my heart melts and I just want to cuddle them
Yeah that happens
Hello Marc, I love primates. My favorites are the gorillas.
I never thought much on the orangutans, always thought they had way to much hair. But seeing them small and watching them grow has melted my heart.
Orangutans seem to wear their emotions on their sleeves. They squeal when scared, they walk hugging each other for security, they do these goofy things and had me laughing so much yesterday as I binged on Orangutan School Videos.
You gotta watch the Orangutan School series.
At the orangutan school you will see so much of so much, its great; additionally, you will meet a male & female that become friends and they become separated ( so so sad see it) then they think the female who is very young is pregnant ( she & boyfriend were always necking at school behind the trees 🤣), but the last series I just saw yesterday they were going to take her to get tested for PG. So I'm waiting on that video, I don't know the outcome.
Just so you know. You can be a strong construction worker, but what makes you a great man is your beautiful heart.
Take care...
And watch the Orangutan school.
@@SweeTeaNLemon I do watch the jungle school and orangs are my absolute favorite animal...i love their eyes
@@SweeTeaNLemon Gorillas are my favorite animal after Humans, but everytime I see an Orangutan baby they become my favorite for the time being 😂
orangutans baby and baby apes are preety much the same 1 of our dna is orangutan
I salute the caretakers of the orphans.
Mel Flo I do too
And fuck the poachers
What? Did you know that the only reason these people have these monkeys is because they killed the mother and most of the troop to get it. Then, they mistreat it and exploit them on CZcams for money. All of the videos of my monkey is private. Ki think I may have put one up on youtube.
@@broctheil4744 Yes, I know, but they are at the school because the mother and troop members were killed in order to get to the baby so it can be sold into the illegal pet trade.
@@98shon98 The "people" in these videos are NOT the people responsible for turning these young primates into orphans.
Poachers are to blame!!! Poachers sell the young to anyone willing to pay.
These people rescue the orphaned from those individuals that are usually extremely incapable of caring for them.
Nor are these particular orphans being exploited!!! Successful preservation isn't cheap. CZcams has been a great platform for raising awareness for activism.
Frankly..I'm a little surprised that you could end up with such a distorted view of what's actually happening in these type of videos.
I think you could probably benefit from paying less attention to the overly righteous comment section and more to the actual videos.
Furthermore, it seems kind of hypocritical to me that if you truly believed these young apes are being exploited for the sake of views, that you would take the time to watch and comment in the first place.
Nevertheless..we should all continue watching and commenting as its ultimately a good thing to become more aware and educated.
But you should take more time to realise who the "bad people" are and who is actually trying to help.
If you guys like this I highly recommend “orangutan jungle school” by the Smithsonian channel
For sure.
Isn’t this the same place they film at?
@@LogicbyDesign no, the orangutan jungle school takes place in Borneo and Sumatra. I imagine the chimps and gorillas schools likely happen in Africa. Wherever that particular primates' natural habitat is will provide the best training ground to return to the wild.
@@freidaelliott8769 ahh ok I thought they were in the same location my mistake
Yes that was the first school I watched of the Orangutan,
I think it's adorable how the chimps hold their caretakers hands while walking beside them.
si con mucha amor 🥰
few things are cuter than watching a chimp get tickled and then laugh
Ant the Gord hahaha 😂 !! Omg right ? It’s awesome !!! It’s been shown that cats laugh ( dogs as well) .., although they don’t exhibit the same gestures , but that cats have. Sense of humor ., though ppl attribute that to being extremely dry , but haha ,’I just know my cat probably has laughed at or judged me a few times 😂. I’ve always said, that animals are capable of experiencing the full range of emotions , just as we are capable in our own ways , despite it being different and more complex in certain aspects ,, but that obviously they feel and sense emotion and exhibit that within their mannerisms & behavioral gestures etc. where just bc they may not sense or express the full range of emotions exactly as we do , Doesn’t exclude them from being able to feel .. so many people are oblivious and really missing out , when they assume animals or certain living beings aren’t capable kg having feelings or feeling pain or suffering .,, many of those very people seem to have never opened their eyes or hearts .. to see the obvious ! For anyone to think humans are the only Ones able to exhibit such abilities is just evident of their unintelligent and inability to perceive and read cues and signals and gestures in / or their inability to have empathy for other living beings is just disturbing and ridiculous .,, idk if many among the scientific community have just perpetuated that ideology just to enact their cruelty among research and studies , so that people would form a detached perspective and separate themselves from being capable to address the obvious truth , seeing that so many animal studies and research and testing is barbaric and cruel , bc imo, for anyone to be so oblivious and to truly not see it upon just observing them at all.., for like 1-5 min. To see that omg , not only are they capable of feeling pain and suffering ( as evident upon their behavior kn response to the abuse and torture enacted on them ) they’re ( especially among most social mammals ) so very capable of each emotion and feeling at the core of it all. Despite the complexities we may have with our larger , more developed Brains , that they’re most definitely able to convey upon just observing them , feelings we should be very aware of ., it’s like people get so mind blown when they see oh wow , we’re not the only ones to do that ? And it’s the most basic of folks at times to never conclude some of the most obvious things, where it’s just difficult imo to interact with ppl who operate that way ., they’re Easily amused and come off as if they’re just marginally intelligent when they’re like, flipping out over it anytime tnry see something do the obvious 😂. Idk why they didn’t expect more and why they certainly expect less other than either selfishly motivated ideals etc ... bc no one in their right mind would look at social animals & miss the obvious cues and gestures and mannerisms or the personality traits and be so misinformed. It’s astounding. And we all have to learn and grow as we go , but some will be * finally after forever it seems 😂 so shocked and amused at things that animals will do , always comparing them to themselves or humanizing them and that’s the issue ,too,, bc it’s either ppl are so disconnected from what they see or they’re trying too hard to humanize everything and they’re the ones that will misread gestures and non verbal cues so badly. I can’t stand when someone sees a monkey or an ape bearing its teeth & gets all excited saying oh look it’s smiling and they’ll smile back Causing more tension for the animal. Or if they see them play fighting, they’ll be quick to freak out and think they were acting maliciously or violently and other things of that nature. It’s so cool to see cute things like an animal just laughing and cutting up and having fun ! And while i get that there’s scientific evidence of many things , j can’t stand when they’ll always say oh , they prob. Just are driven out of instinct or it’s just a reaction to stimulation or when it comes to baby monkeys and the way they pitch fits and carry on in this over dramatic behaviors and cry .. and cry and cry , they’ll say oh no , humans are the only ones to cry ,, Bh were the only ones to produce tears as a result of emotional or physical pain .. yet they’ll say animals have “ distress calls “.. yes they do. But some of them also cry. My cat cries for me when I’m gone and will search the house calling out “ weh ahh oooh ? Weh ahh ooooh? ( I always say where are U in the same cadence and tone when I come in and don’t see him 😂) so it sounds as if he’s asking where I am too. Maybe not. But still. I do know he also calls me weh eow ,. He only does that vocalization directed at me and it’s never when he’s asking for something or doing anything other than sitting with me or waking me up 😂. So I’m weh eow 😂. I’ll tell him to go find my daughter & will say where’s Bre ? Go find Bre and he runs to her room and finds her. If she’d not tnsre he stays in there and looks up at me like omg she’s not in here 😂. I’ll get his trees & ask do u want some & taught him to shake his head yes or no with some positive enrichment during my training him and he’ll say yes. And I’ll put one in my hand. Sometimes closing my hand and I’ll say open it up & he opens my hand for his treat or I’ll have one in both hands or present both hands to him & he’ll pick one. At Times before opening it up , I’ll ask are u sure u want that one ? If he is, he’ll stay where he is with his paw in my hand but if he’s not he’ll go select the other one. He picks out his cat food flavor by me lining a few up & saying which one do u want & he’ll inspect them and make his decision and it’s usually an obvious decision haha ,, he follows me wherever I go , rides in the car , never has to be restrained or caged and walks on a leash if were ever out for a walk. He was completely wild and I’ve worked with him a long time but he is so smart and ppl all the time depict cats as being uncaring and aloof or mean and I’m like wow. They haven’t gotten the opportunity to be around a cat to make that assumption.
@@breAnnasmama you wrote a god damn essay
@@breAnnasmama im not reading that lol
Breaks my heart seeing these poor babies without their mommies. So glad there are people who care about them.
When I saw the man cleaning the bugs off the monkey and mimicking monkey behavior so passionately: 🥺Youre doing amazing sweetie 😭👏

It’s in your DNA to think baby apes are cute. We share 98% of our DNA with them. Only 2% of our DNA is what separates us from them. It’s in our being to think baby mammals are cute. Biological chemical reaction.
@@carljackson1433 I dont think that would happen but you keep dreaming dumbass.
Orangutangs are cuter
Four tiny chimpanzees drinking from their bottles is the only thing I need to see today. ❤️🥰
The care takers are literally angels on earth. Watching That young man teaching that baby chimp how to groom was priceless!! These people give their lives caring for these apes!! I commend and Solute you all to the HIGHEST!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!🙏💕🙏💞💯
Ikr that was beautiful
Baby orangs and baby monkeys have got to be the cutest!!! Wish i could hug them ❤
I’m crying looking at those beautiful baby chimps, their emotions are just like humans.
I just want to hug them.
I hope they are happy (the apes)
We truly see ourselves in our cousins such as the great apes. This has got to be one of the most fulfilling jobs ever.
I didn't know the sanctuaries could raise chimps and gorillas together in a group! The little ones seemed ok with each other's company. Great video - especailly montage and showing the necessary skills in different apes.
Generally chimps and gorillas would not be raised together - especially as they grow older. In this unusual case there was only one baby of each and the care staff was limited. It was decided to share the forest school experience for their first few months. They have each long sinced joined larger groups of their own species in the sanctuary.
@@ApesLikeUs Thank you for the explanation!
Little did the staff know, those two apes would go on to forge the mightiest ape-alliance the world had ever seen, counterattacking poachers with unprecedented methodology.

@@rafetizer Underrated comment. Expected, but welcome.
@@rafetizer awww if only that were true. Still, one can hope ...
I would love to have done something like this. What a wonderful dedicated team you are. Thank you for helping.
Excellent documentary showing the dedicated and loving care given to baby orphaned apes to teach them needed life skills. Much appreciation and respect for the caregivers and sanctuaries providing for these wonderful apes.
These sanctuaries are amazing in how they care for the babes and teach them these skills so they can grow to live a more natural ape life :)
@@megstark9940 I agree but I must admit that It's sad that we've reached this point. Industrialization hand in hand with deforestation have led us here. I make monthly donations to sanctuaries but I wish I could do more to preserve these amazing beings.
@@ricky7973 let's not forget the poaching of these wonderful and beautiful babies. Many are taken as pets, then discarded as trash. It's so heartbreaking.
Jane Goodal was a great educator for the society's of apes.
amigo bien dicho
Why am I crying in an adult pull it together lol my goodness I’d give anything to walk hand in hand with one of these beautiful amazing creatures there just amazing simply beautiful
My penis is sooo big
@@heehee1479 same
Pappy Van Winkle OMG IM SO SORRY. My cousin commented that and I’ve only found out today.
I really laughed out loud with these comments hahah
You can volunteer if you want.
No one's gonna talk how wonderful their jobs
This is my dream. To work with a rescue center would be the most fulfilling part of life. I've been slightly obsessed with the plight of apes for years. The people out in these places helping these incredible animals are angels ❤
You can do it!
@@ApesLikeUsplease tell me how
@@BettyThompson-qn7clMe too
Oh my. What wonderful babies, and what wonderful caretakers. I LOVE the way the babies watch everything with fascination, and how they watch their surrogate parents with adoration. Thanks to all of you wonderful people!
THEY WAY THEY LOOK BACK WHEN WALKING TO MAKE SURE THEIR FRIENDS ARE THERE
I love those little guys so much. It must be hard for the caretakers to release them into the wild after those bonds have been made. Much respect to the kind hearted people raising them.
Thanks for your kind comments
I didn’t know the digging thing, but that’s so funny
My cold stone heart warms a little bit seeing this videos. I feel sad to think about the hostile and horrible background of this precious little monkeys, but the fact that there are people caring about this, bring me back the faith in humanity
I had no idea these things were learned behavior; not instinct. Learned something new. God bless you people for working so hard to help these orphans.
They deserve so much better than we humans could ever give them
These are a very very great act of human beings i have ever come across. Helping out our fellow apes. Big Salute🙏👍
I wanna go work with them, awwww the way they were drinking them bottles 🥰🥰🥰
I know! My heart flipped at the bottles and manners to knw we need to sit down for this, it is too good for standing. Oh gosh, how did I end up here
Its a really hard job ;) most of us "modern women" would find it very hard. Its like having a baby, with no help, in the middle of the jungle, without wifi and hi confort ;) they eat, wash, sleep with the baby until he is big enough to go to the next round. And you have to let him leave after raising him... Those caretakers are wonderfull people :)
@@mllev.auxiliairesexuelle right, it looks like so much fun. Yet, these people don't do this for a few weeks, they get up early every morning and devote their lives to these animals. It can be very demanding.
@@nimblebimble They often have to sacrifice their own familly to take care of animals. Its sad but someone have to do it and try to repair what we have done :/
Almost close to tears at work (that's the vodka) but I honestly love seeing these videos, from the orangutans to this it just makes my heart so full
seeing this and laughing to myslef a couple months later lmaoo
Vodka? At work?? Lol your job sounds awesome 😂
My God, those Orangutans are such characters.
Oh my gosh these babies are so adorable! I want to teach in forest school!!
Its probably an hard job but its worth it (at least i think so)
I'm sure it would be a great couple of weeks, but these people devote every day for years, some their whole lives, to these animals
That playing of gorillas, which "can be incredibly rough" is then illustrated with some pretty goofy, soft and gentle, half-assed wrestling though. ;)
Because they are still babies.
Gods are smiling on these people because they are good.
God is dead.
I think so too!!!!❤️
I love all dedicated people helping vurnerable ....You guys deserve a million dollars
That gorgeous baby gorilla doesn’t even look real! Beautiful.
I love the one who is being tickled. The chimp's laugh is contagious.
hola amigos/amigas de apes like us. este video fue revelador! mucho gusto
¡Hola Jody! Estamos encantados de conocerte también. Gracias por ver nuestros videos.
Awwwww! Food bonds us all together. That’s why I love to cook.
How ANYONE can view these amazing creatures as meat/food is just abominable. I have such a love and fascination for these animals and I’m so glad there are so many sanctuaries out there like this one, so dedicated to taking care of these little ones. They deserve life…love…and respect.
Thank you so much for your compassion, Steve. The bushmeat problem is indeed a horrific one, but very complex. At times people living in poor areas are driven to bushmeat hunting because they need a source of protein. This is why conservation programs must focus on the wellbeing of people too. So glad you're enjoying our videos and thanks for watching.
Why? And why is so much of society horrified by apes being killed for food by people truly in need but has no problem with the horrors of cows and chickens being abused followed by mass - murdering for food?
U dont know hunger
Huge THANKS to the Team of incredible people!!!! 👏👏👏 You guys are amazing! Thank YOU! May God bless you all! ❤️❤️❤️
It's impossible not to fall in love with little apes, the chimps and orangs especially. As cute as young gorillas are their natural strength can be a bit intimidating if not outright dangerous. They may not mean to hurt a human but can cause harm so easily once they reach a certain age. Chimps are far less likely to harm a human but again are much stronger than a grown man after a certain age. Orangs interestingly are so naturally gentle they are rarely a big threat. All of course are incredibly cute and their need to hug and be held and to feel loved and show affection to those who care for them is just so human like it's hard for me to grasp how a person can be cruel to such sweet critters. Poor people who are desperate to feed their families or just not caring and are willing to kill in order to make some rich man happy it's hard to hate them but seeing mutilated rhinos or elephants or dead gorillas is such a sad thing. I often feel it's not always a kindness to try and return a young animal to the bush or Forrest where they are immediately in danger again. As bad as it may sound the time is fast coming when the only safe place for some animals is basically anywhere but the wild. Unless much more is done to protect them large numbers of apes and other critters will be gone soon, and that will be a terrible tragedy
I am so happy to hear about forestSchool that is so wonderful and thank you all for loving them and taking care of them and teaching them may God continue to be with you all and them too and you're right they just like children I am so happy they taking care of them just like they would they own child all children thanks again
The surrogate Mums (and Dads!) who care for these babies are truly special human beings. So glad you enjoyed learning more about the incredible Forest Schools!
Louise Bookman amen !!! ♥️🙏🏽
What wonderful people - so glad the orphans get a chance at life
What wonderful animals, all of them.
Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful and blessed work of those who give their lives to take care of these animals. But very sad to see that there are so many animals that need this help.
I fell in love with the chimps
Oh my poor heart!! The babies with manners who got their bottles and sat down. I is deaded!!
Baby orangutans are the cutest
I respect these caretakers! I love that these little apes stay in an environment that mimics the wild. Pretty Amazing🥰
THANK U, SHARE, SHARE
They are so cute. Thanks to everyone that helps take care of them.
Please, give them lots of hugs from me!

A BEAUTIFUL AND POSITIVE BRITE LIGHT IDEA ! WE ALL COUNT ! WHERE WE GO ONE WE GO ALL ! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU FOR SAVING THEM !
Omg so cute chimp orangantan and the baby gorilla is adorable
A very good narator.
These animals and us are so clearly related and it's so obvious to see in their family ties. And you know the babies feel the trauma of their mothers being killed just like a human child would
Absolutely. Thank you so much for watching and your empathy toward the apes.
They got it better then human foster children.
These are amazing people doing amazing work ! God Bless Them !!!!!!!!
I would love to be able to work with these babies!!!!
Hi Amber,
A great way to get involved is through volunteering, you can check out our recent post about volunteering with primate sanctuaries here: globio.org/volunteer-abroad-with-primate-sanctuaries/
Volunteering with ethical sanctuaries is a really awesome way to make a difference for rescued orphaned apes - although keep in mind some sanctuaries may limit volunteer contact with the babies. We may all be stuck at home now but check it out so see if volunteering would be something you're interested in doing in the future when everything opens back up.
this is way better than real school
Love seeing the baby chips being cared for.
Omg just watch the four babies suck their bottmade me cry.. just knowing how evil some people can be poaching and trying to keep these primates as pets.. when all they ever wanted was their mama family and natural habitat. And to be left alone by evil humans.. you are the most unique and amazing people on earth you are truly angels. I love respect adore admire each of you for all you do. There truly are no words to show my gratitude to you.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️and those babies are just so loving and adorable 🥰
So childlike. I would do this for free. Just pay for my room and board.
Merciiii à tous qui faites tant de bien aux victimes des hommes. Que Dieu vous bénissent et vous aide dans votre merveilleuse et utile mission 💖🧚♀️💖🧚♀️
What a great documentary! 🙂 Those apes, monkeys, are such a fantastic, adorable, & precious, animals 😍
Apes are not actually Monkeys
Not monkeys. Chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos are great apes. Monkeys have tails and apes do not.
Beautiful monkeys!
Lovely babies!
This is so wonderful🤗🤗🤗
I lived it were the caretaker was teaching how to groom other apes and the sounds he was making .I salute all caretakers
God Bless you. And God Bless the orangutans !!!
They’re all so adorable 💟 It is a beautiful thing that you do for these babies 💟 God bless
Magnifique reportage, ils sont tellement beau ses bébés vous faites un travail important et tellement utile pour la survie des bébés 🥰 merci beaucoup pour eux
Awe I love this. They are ticklish.
much respect and love to the caretakers!
The way they all smile when you tickle them are the best.
What a joy for me to see Lomié again
These care takers are heroes
Baby chimps looking in a hole dug with a stick might be the most comical thing I've ever seen!!! Appreciate all the good work you do for these apes!
Glad you enjoyed it
