Orangutan - Man Of The Forest HD

- Orangutans are the largest arboreal mammal in the world, living and sleeping in trees. They travel with ease through the canopy, rarely descending to the forest floor. They are wholly dependent on tropical rain forests for their survival. In 1900, there were about 315,000 orangutans in the world. Today, only a few biologically viable populations remain. Primarily, their diet consists of fruit, although they eat leaves, seeds, tree bark, plant bulbs, tender plant shoots, and flowers.
Orangutans are the slowest breeding of all primates, having the longest inter-birth interval of all land-based mammals - almost 8 years. After a gestation period of 8-1/2 months, the female will have her first baby at age 12 -- 15. She will give birth to about 3 babies in her lifetime of 50 years or more. Mothers care for their young until age 8 or nine, when they are encouraged to go off on their own.
As forests are clear-cut on a massive scale, the number of orangutans killed and the number of infants making their way into captivity or rehabilitation centers is increasing. Perhaps their ability to adapt to human nurturing is a silent call for help. Perhaps we should heed their call.
They’re so humble sitting in the trees so peaceful.
I frickin love orangutans. Absolutely amazing
This baby orangutan love to climb and play around the trees very cute little animals thank you for sharing your love for them all thank you
I SO enjoyed this film! How wonderful it must have been to see the orangutans in their natural forest homes. It gives me hope for their future to see so many people working together to care for the orphans and someday put them back into the forest where they belong.
and if they were to go extinct would the earth stop rotating immediately or gradually slow down?
If you did the hand gestures towards an orangutan pointing to yourself then to the orangutan and then doing say a kissing expression, they would 100% understand what you mean and are saying. It’s crazy how well developed and complexed they are.
Beautifully illustrated. I love orangutans. My heart goes out to the Man of the Forrest.
what illustrations? I watched this 2x's (I adore orangutans) and I didn't see any illustrations at all.
Orangutans are really cute
Man I love Orangutans. They are like big fluffy stuffed animals who have a sad puppy face. I mean if they could talk, I think they would be comedians .
Hotpocket Moutaindew you should watch Any Which Way you Can. And Every Which Way but Loose. Starring Clint eastwood, he has a pet orangutan named Clyde
If we could grant all the great apes the ability to talk, orangutans would probably be the worst talkers. They're freaky intelligent, but they also have very poor social skills
1:44 checked her watch...”we’re late!” Lol
@@pomponi0 In some ways you are correct. Before human intervention destroyed their homes, Orangutans were very solitary apes, unlike Chimps who live in complex groups. However now that Orangutans are orphaned by poachers and plantation owners they are forced to grow up in groups or classes. The bonds that used to only be with Mom are now with a "family" unit. They seek comfort and safety in other Orangutans. As it turns out they can live quite well in a group. They adapted to our interference. Young Orangutans are EXTREMELY vocal. Extremely social. They NEED another Orangutan for support, comfort, and safety. That was Mom's job. Now even Mother's in these groups are social. It's amazing how they have bonded.
@@EdsterIII wtf I supposed that would be the case in the future. I didn't know the effects would be visible this soon. I hope their species will survive :(
I went to the zoo today, and was able to "meet" one big orangutan male. He had such expressive eyes. I sat down next to the viewing window for a long time and just kind of felt what it was like to be inches away from such an amazing creature.
Being there made me wonder what we've done (as humans) to make this world a place where intelligent animals, that should be ruling the forest, are locked in tiny observatory cells.
Karsten Lane
not all. And is this changing?
Going to the zoo makes me sad.. As an avian expert, I rarely see birds in zoos that have adequate space or stimulation.. I'm not some kind of animal rights nut either. I simply believe that if you choose to keep exotics you have to offer the basics. Judging by the birds I'd assume that most zoos cut corners with other fauna as well..
If I had it to do all over again, I would definitely work with orangutans. There's something about the babies that is just so endearing.
The Orangutan Really Wants Her Hat I'd Say! So Adorable They Are!🦧👵👒🌴🌿🇮🇩
I see many videos online about people who have orangutans for the soul purpose of keeping them as a pet. They show themselves tucking them in at bedtime, bringing them to family's home for holidays, dressing them up but could you imagine when they reach the size of that huge male just roaming around the house? Those people don't get that they are wild animals and not cute and cuddly when they get this big. .
They get it; they just don't give a damn because when they get too big, they abandon them so that they don't have to deal with it. They'll just send them off to some place to have to live in a cage for the rest of their poor, miserable lives. If they're lucky they'll end up at a rehabilitation camp, while they're still young and small enough to not be such a huge threat to humans, to learn the skills needed to be a free living orangutan but if they get too old or too big before they get to the rehabilitation camp, they'll end up on one of the orangutan islands with no hope of ever being completely free.
@@arimasmemphis4061 or worse yet could end up in a cage if they lack the social skills to share food on the platforms along with several other orangutans during the rainy season
Actually, it is more important not to humanize orangutans or they will be dependent on humans too much so eco-tourism should not allow direct contact with orangutans so that they can still remain "wild" and adapt better in the forest when released. This is the reason why some sanctuaries are better at releasing orangutans back to their natural habitat compared to those who allow humans to interact too much with orangutans.
If they are not afraid and wary of humans, then they will catch diseases from humans, become too dependent on humans for food and shelter, and even trust poachers. Plus, even though they are not as aggressive as other great apes, they are territorial and their strength can hurt humans.
I love them i wish i could save them all
Only if they weren't red heads now gorillas they got the hair colour down
This is pretty enjoyable and very well done. You are so lucky to get to spend time with them.
To the guy down there going nuts on the apparent boringness of the commentary... obviously this video was made by a wildlife enthusiast and his wife, it isn't the fucking BBC here, relax. I think it's a good little documentary for what it is. And we don't even have to pay for it. People are so annoying, ugh.
writerofbaddreams Ikr.
I think the videos on the orangatangs are very interesting. I like to learn.
Thank you.
0l3àß3 8 implore every one that wants too do something great send a check for even 5.00 a month. It is one of the few organizations that uses all the donations for the animals just on them. I chose the borneo nyaru menteng branch because it is fartherest away from civilation which means those iñvolved have a harder time raising funds. It's a geographic thing. They also have an extensive rehab pr9gram before release back into the wild, if for instance a animal can't be returned to the wild, it lives it's remainder of its life in a special area in the sanctuary where it is safe and it's needs are taken care of not locked in a cage. Please help
Great documentary. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this video. It makes me so sad at what's happening...I wish their government would educate the miners and lumber corps. And possibly give these people alternate ways to mine, etc. I do understand their need to feed their families and make money but there has to be other ways to get the gold without using mercury, etc...if other places in the world can do it so can they. I don't mean to sound ignorant but it just breaks my heart. I would love to go to this place and volunteer and and give money to the cause. Thank you again for posting, you and your wife did a great job at making this video.
It starts with you really. Avoid any unethically sourced products, including meat and dairy and cosmetics etc
@@TheAlmightyAss individualizing the externalized consequences of c4pitalist organization of society is a backwards way to approach it. the system and its incentives are the problem. not that individuals arent consuming enough 'rebranded "ethical" products owned by the same corporations who do the same sh*t anyway
I love them so much. Hello, cousins!
Beautiful film - THANK YOU - I hope the orangutan make it through the pandemic and the forest survives ..the deforestation since 2014
is terrifying ... I wont buy anything with palm oil ... Rx
Thank you very much for the brilliant film!
We need diversity in this world and orangutans contribute to that. Thank you for highlighting their plight.
Wonderful documentary, thank you ! On my bucket list is a trip to Borneo or Indonesia to meet some of these beautiful human cousins. xo
Unless people begin to boycott the company's that are using palm oil then you may not get a chance. Company's that make our smacks like fruit pies from Mrs.Bairds , Kellogg'. There are lists of both company's and the snacks that use palm oil..
They are not cousins you freak. Lettuce has more DNA than these abortions. Why don't you have a salad and meet your cousins.
Here are some facts by scientist whose job doesn't rely on PR. > Findings of Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior. The studies were recently published in eLife. Date of news: 12 May 2020 "Our DNA is 98% similar to that of apes, so you’d think that people resemble this species of monkeys. Yet we are very different", Mars explains. “No less than 80% of the subcortical striatum of humans could NOT be found in the animal brain. Those are areas that are important in people for things like language processing and social cognition. Although apes and macaques are a lot more like us, the differences between humans and monkeys are also larger than previously thought. The connections and areas in the brain of monkeys were thought to be quite similar, but slightly smaller. “The connections between brain regions have changed due to evolution. Especially the fasciculus arcuatus, a bundle of connective nerve fibers important for the processing of language, is connected to many more areas in humans than in macaques, and apes.” When I pulled together the lists of pathogens and parasites of apes (derived from a list provided by Charlie Nunn and his collaborators) and a list of those of humans, I was in for a surprise . Most of the parasites and pathogens of humans are NOT found in apes or monkeys. We have many of the same parasites and pathogens as primates, but they lack nearly all of those found in us. From the perspective of the genes of parasites and pathogens, humans and apes are NOT similar at all.😲😟😩😱🤪😵😂🤣🤣
@@AvitxiWT I call them as I see them. You are one of the rare people who will understand that they are just animals and NOT cousins. I will agree that some of their actions are similar. These just happen to be the animals I hate. I have tried to examine my strong dislike of these pee drinking, crap eating, clingy freaks but that and their lack of expression is all I can find.🙄🤔😯😒👿👿
Your weak argument doesn’t hold water, bud. In fact if you went back 300,000 years humans cousins are very similar to orang. Yes our brains have developed (some of us) but they are our distant cousins. Think what you want. We are stewards of our planet, and owe it to these beings to not destroy their habitat in the name of junk food. It’s fuckin sad you even defend it. These primates deserve more than our self-centered short-sighted existence. I’ll fight to the death for them...where lies your dedication to hate??
@Summer Breeze Not as bad as you need to remove the o-tans carrot from your crack.
This was a wonderful film. I learned more about the orangutans in this video, than all the others put together. Im totally in love with these babies and the species as a whole. Would love to work in Borneo!!!
Another excellent wildlife documentary. I have also been to this park and very much enjoyed you showing Tom and many other of the Orangutans. Great narration as well. Thanks for sharing.
😘😘😘Wow...YOU LUCKY LADY!!!! I AM SO JEALOUS!!! 😛😛REALLY, I'M SURE THAT WAS THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR UNBELIEVABLE TRAVEL WITH US!!!❤❤❤❤🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒
thank you for this amazing footage
Thank you for uploading this video. You gave me awareness.
Great documentary.
The more you see and understand these animals, the more beautiful they become. lf you watch the documentary "Borneo; unmasking the Truth" , it can really help one see the look in this gentle animal's eyes. The babies are irresistible!
"Orangutan Diaries" is also a wonderful series to watch. ;)
gypsy ~ lndeed! l think... if the Indonesians need the industry in Borneo ...its ok to take _SOME_ of the Kalimantan lowlands for the palm industry. Just not ALL of the stinkin land. Man....that island is Just _HUGE!_ Why do they need it ALL? And they cry about climate change and want the Americans to pay _billions_ when the countries that pollute the most...are China, lndia, and other places. Stop spraying the chemtrails.....oops! l mean geo engineering and putting barium, strontium, and aluminum into the atmosphere....before taxing people for the they breath out. lm glad Trump pulled out of that Paris deal! Boreo however, needs _real_ help.
I'm going to Google It RIGHT THIS MOMENT!!! THANKS FOR THE INFO!! I❤❤❤❤ORANGUTANS!
Thank you! Am watching these next!👍☺❤
I wouldn't call these animals "gentle". The young ones sure, but you don't want to bump into a wild adult.
Maybe when compared to you they are beautiful and smart but I prefer humans.😲😖😨🤪🥴😂🤣🤣
Nice video... Avoid products that contain Palm oil.
Palm Oil is up to 20% the price of sunflower, olive oil.
Don’t see why u need plam oil don’t think I ever used it
Palm oil is almost in everything.
It can be tough to avoid, but I have stopped buying anything with palm oil. I know it's not much, but I absolutely refuse to contribute! Poor things!
@@sloth1021 ever eaten a payday candy bar? Oreo cookie?...then yes you have
20:00 please give him that hat for some time.. he really enjoyd using it..
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS IT IS BEAUTIFUL
the classic documentary vibe, i love it!
Better then those modern docus Thank You
Hi, I'm Indonesian..
Thanks to save our Urangutan, God Bless You All Friends 🙏
Beautiful place lots of trees very beautiful fresh healthy place thank you for sharing your beautiful country side very good thanks
This video is so good, thank you!
Orang utans are men of the forest so technically citizens too
Awe wow! Real nice. Thank you for sharing
I really enjoyed that, thankyou.😊
beautiful they look cool I like there face it's so cute
Very well documented and constructed short film. I was particularly amazed by how comfortable these wild and majestic Orangutan’s were within a humans presence. As well as how eager those Orangutan’s appeared who seemingly wanted to go up and play/ investigate every human who were at the camp where they came to feed daily at. I would love to see a follow up short film/ documentary as to what is currently happening in the Orangutan’s rain forest habitat. However based on what was explained in your short film regarding the Orangutan’s territory and how their government just approved the destruction of so much of their habitat to start farming. I would imagine that a follow up short film would be quite depressing to see how much of their habitat has been destroyed. As well as how saddening it would be to see even more Orangutan’s that have lost their life due to Man’s destructive nature.
Please make a follow up documentary but only if there seems to be a happy ending! Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your amazing adventure!!!
Fantastic video and story. Thank you
Fucking psycho
+Alexis White When are your periods going to stop god. You'v been bitching here for several weeks.
It is not man of the forest but human of the forest 🌳
Actually "people" of the forest.
if you still buy palm oil from Indonesia, orangutan security will always be threatened
Ban palm oil now.
милые детки. Как им не хватает любви!❤❤❤
Hard to get a hat back when they have two hands and two feet that work like hands. Great stuff 🙂👍
It's so funny seeing the difference between accents when you said echo friendly instead of eco (ee-co) friendly and Jenus instead of genus (jee-nus). Great video
Beaut orangutans, and gibbons. Reminds me of king Louis of the Jungle Book. ☺️🙏 Thanks for providing this video.
I have completely fallen in Love with these Orangutans 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯
Me too
Well done! Thanks for the upload
They are wonderful Mouther
Great video!
Thanks...from me and my country ..indonesia
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, thank you.
So whst
Great movie
Looks like you had a great time, surrounded by ppl who share in the love you have for Orangutans. it's hard for me to imagine how anyone could kill such a beautiful animal. I hope to be able to share in a trip like yours some day, except my dream destination is to take my family to one of the national parks in Africa. Thanks for sharing your experience, I really enjoyed it/
This video, imho, is far superior to those aired in recent years on the big name networks where as often as not it's more a study of the study, a vain glorious portrayal of the researchers rather than the subject. Rather than the almost incidental shot or two of Orangs by the big names, this video is devoted almost entirely to the animals and the photography, again in my amateur opinion, seems the best I've ever seen.
Only coolest animal ever!
Professor Birute Galdikas Is A Marvellous Woman Spending Decades Studying And Caring For The Orangutans Of Sumatra And Borneo! Hope Her Marvellous Work Continues For Years To Come!👩🦧🌴🌿🇮🇩
Very good video... keep up the good work.
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Very big country very beautiful green this lady is very brave sleep there in the wild she love all this monkeys very good friendly lady thank you for sharing your beautiful story very good thank you
love INDONESIA
Excellent video! Great info, wonderful orangutan interactions. I've heard of this sanctuary; very important work. An Indonesian friend worries about the deforestation but I wasn't aware of the government plans - devastating. Can you recommend organizations that can help?
Great documentary
❤Fab loved it
13:09 if u r a mother you cannot help but relate to the human intimacy for breastfeeding your baby. The tender touch of babies fingers on your cheek. These beautiful creatures share 97% of our DNA. They are severely endangered by massive burning of rainforest in Indonesia and Malaysia for palm oil plantations. It is genocide. Please help! Sumofus.org are doing amazing work and activism to save these and other rainforest special in SE Asia. Please visit their site and donate.
Alicia Fennell where are you from?

Some of this information seems outdated, orangutans are not solely solitary animals, they can be observed in groups and males have also been seen taking part in(to some extent) the raising of juveniles
Dude was like...food and entertainment? Count me in.
Correct translation :
FORREST PERSON/PEOPLE
I had no idea that Indonesia's government was like that. I feel that they need to get a grip and protect the highly endangered wildlife that they have.
ughhh!!!! I'm so sick of you Alexis
Peanutbutter contains only peanuts and a tad of salt.. What you are speaking of is actually peanutbutter spread that big companies pass off as peanutbutter.. It contains many additives that are not good for you, one of which is palm oil.. It's even hard to taste the peanuts in some of it..
Borneo in Malaysia not Indonesia..I am Malaysian..
Black Shady i saw in the map, borneo is an island tho.. The top of the island is malay, and the bottom is Indonesia, both countries need to protect this orang utans
@@blackshady1788 fool
Mercury goldmining!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Polluters of paradise.
Orang utan = People of the forest
Love
Orangutan are so friendly, on my wish list to visit them. After all they are our cousins, nearest to us.
Who can dislike it, what's your problem....
Sttfu dumb bitch
May I ask how a trip like this cost you, I know it has to be a small fortune, during the visit is that the norm seeing the orangs running around the camp the ones that come back to visit they are so habituated to humans, it's up in the air which sanctuary I would like to visit either loyola bonobo or this place maybe both
mike johnson to rent a klotok (the local wooden boat) in Tanjung Puting from Pangkalan Bun (the starting point) can cost 2,5 million rupiah to 4 million rupiah (equal to 200 USD to 350 USD) per boat to 2 days 1 night journey (sleep on boat, and including meals,and you can share the price with other people if you have group max 4 people). can be more if you choose for longer itinerary. but then again, it also depends on boat you will choose, the more luxurious the pricier it can be. For comparison, you can also choose for Bukit Lawang area, in North Sumatera. but in Bukit Lawang, you need to trek up to the jungle,not on boat, and camp in the jungle. The price for 2 days 1 night trekking (porter,guide,meals included) is around 1,5 million rupiah to 2 million rupiah (120 USD to 180 USD)depends on the trek and where you book the tour. i did the Tanjung Puting,and it costs me around 1200 USD including all my flight tickets. and it was a very memorable journey i will never forget. visit before they extinct.
A lovely mam and baby. Wonderful video, thank you
Wonderfully produced and narrated. Thank you.
If you could read Vietnamese ....
Tui đề nghị Việt Nam ta tạo một vườn quốc gia giúp bảo toàn và phát triển giống Orangutan (Orang-Utan) nầy và một số loài vật có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng khác, đồng thời làm nơi du lịch, nghiên cứu khoa học, giúp Đất nước Việt Nam thêm phong phú, sinh động, hấp dẫn.
And yet, palm oil demand has skyrocketed, thus killing off ever more habitat and the primates that live there. Palm oil is in thousands of products, some of them in your house right now. This was filmed in 2008, so imagine what the forest looks like in 2018!
Alright!! That just put a HUGE smile on my face and in my heart!! Please keep that EXCELLENT news coming!! I look forward to hearing more.😯😒😕😲🤪🤪🥴🥴🥳🥳😂🤣🤣🧟♀️🧟♂️👎👎🤛👊🤜🏹🔪💉
This is a great quality clip. Entertaining and filled with nuggets of info
TAKING THEIR HOMES AWAY FOR PALM OIL IS SO RIDICULOUS 👿👿👿
Sandy Lipscomb
It’s not ridiculous. It’s pure evil.
No palm oil. But what can they do to support there families?
Many years ago I had the wonderful experience of visiting a park in East Malaysia to observe these magnificent creatures. They were rehabilitating and returning these animals to the forest. It was a very moving experience.
She has a strange accent. It's subtle, but noticeable
Lol 21:21 did a james bond roll out of there
and if they were to go extinct would the earth stop rotating immediately or gradually slow down?
Great video! We can learn so much from them. Sad to hear how close to extinction they are.
Not close enough!! But, that can be remedied.🧟♀️🧟♂️👎👎🤛👊🤜
I want to plan a trip there. When is orangutan season?
This is so good. Thank you.
Thanks Fred, for your nicely written information under the video. Well said!, and thanks for helping us become deeply aware of what is happening to one of our closest cousins on the primate family tree.
We need to get. Our priorities straight with all the millions of people around the world that are suffering and in desperate need of resources like food, medicine, shelter, mental health services,etc. So why we are still wasting valuable time and resources on these useless, hideous apes. Let's pull our heads out of our rear ends this year and try stopping more teen suicides,and depression, help homeless single parents, traumatized vets ,etc. Enough with this bullshit. another school shooting is just around the corner folks but let's worry about a bunch of useless apes! Yeah that will fix things!!
10:54 - Every animal has a purpose on earth .......... except for one species !!!!!!!!!
which one>
Orangutan is actually really good eating. The younger one are the best meat. If you get a chance you must try it!
AWESOMENESS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS Orangutans I LOVE THEM WONDERFUL VIDEO UPLOAD SO LOVING PRECIOUS OUR PRIMATES THANKYOU MY DEAR LOVELY FRIEND Fred Heiman FOR SHARING THIS WITH US MAGNIFICENT OUTSTANDING NATURE . WARM GREETINGS FROM ENGLAND MY DEAREST BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS & FAMILY MARVELLOUS BRAVOOO XD . SENDING SMILES MY LOVE & LIGHT NAMASTE GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS . KISSES & BIG WARM HUGS FROM THE HEART MUAH MUAH WOAH . XXXXXXX
That male at 8:30 is indeed huge!
It is sad to see all of this animals lost their homes nothing we can do pray to God for help good video thank you .
God? Its us that needs to step up and actually do something about it. Not something/someone that doesn’t have any scientific evidence to say that it is real.
Nothing we can do?
DO YOUR PART; avoid consuming anything with palm oil.
These people had no clue, way back when, lol! It's instinctual for an primate to climb trees, there body's are built specifically for that
