  • 1:44 she uses class 2 or 3 lever, it requires a high intelligence.

  • Very cute!

  • The great ape family pwns.

  • She looked nice in that sun hat.

    I like how humans are interested in primate behavior, and orangutans take interest in human behavior :)

  • Their feet are so weird, they're like big, slightly disformed, hands.

  • This is just the start....sooon they will take over the world

  • @ThetommoroPRODUCTION

    In 10, 000 years time, we humans will be the ones locked up and fed ice cream, then have that vid posted on youtube.

  • I'd hit it.

  • He was using that shovel! Holy shit.

  • would nt you start doing the housework if you were locked in a cage for 49 years?

  • Just watch the way she uses the towel on her arms and hands. Maybe we as humans just don't realize it, but thats exactly the same movements we use! Exactly! How do people not realize this?!

  • 1:30 looks like an old black woman you'd see in Alabama.

  • @ujak1950

    I knew some one was going to make a comment like that before I even scrolled down.

  • @texas817847 Nice!

  • Comment removed

  • Orangutans are gentle and sweet. This cement enclosure looks depressing.

  • @RReederHunt Orangutans are sweet most of the time, but are very strong and capable of killing a person if they get angry.

  • lol so funny he cleans the ground and put it on his head.

  • they should have put few orangutans to stay with albert einstein!! by now we would have spaceship that can travel to other galaxies and unraveling the universe! no wait...what will happen to us humans?!?

  • Even females of different species recognize their role in the world...

  • damn this guy has hands as feet

  • well cute and all, but i hate the zoo, animals being there just for our amusment.

  • @Troforso I agree!

  • Zookeeper: Monkey! I thought I told you too clean up the floor!

    Monkey: oooh oo ah ah

    Translation (i did clean it up, get off my ass)

  • How can people say that people arent related to these animals at all!

  • Maybe in a few million years orangutans will be putting us in zoos :)

  • @BedsideGnome lol

  • do work son!

  • wow 49 old? and still do housework..its amazing

  • ape slaves!!

  • you see, even ape females do housework.

  • @jasonsitu

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

  • Although, I wouldn't give an oragutan any sharp gardening object...

  • Cryptozoology novel see video book trailer

  • Comment removed

  • We need one of these in our dorm!!!

  • awww i so wanna hug one

  • WE LIVE AMONGST THEM 

  • In the wild orangs will put large leaves on their heads to keep off rain and sun.

  • @SeriouslyPissedOff you don't sound PO'd

  • I wouldn't be surprised if they did turn out to be smarter than us. It's mostly that we have a better physical structure and we are more capable.

  • @funnyglitch An orangutan might be smarter than you, that's for sure. I have no idea how your brain came up with something like that. Hahah!

  • i wish people would just let animals live in the wild or if endangered in huge sanctuaries.

  • i see her on the ropes going "welp, my commute to work" :D

  • the main question is, do they understand what they're doing or they're just imitating without having an idea?..

  • i would love to foster baby orang's. i wish i knew how to ge in with that

  • @jaimeminer Contact your local zoo. Also, universities that have primate research, and animal sanctuaries. That would be a good start.

  • really impressed.Creepy...so human-like!

  • @ruggeryobu Yes I often drape myself in the rags I use for cleaning my sidewalk... So humanlike! lol

  • @Mafiacowz

    It depends on which humans you're comparing them to. When kids come home covered in filth, does that make them less human? Also, don't forget that there are still primitive tribes running around half naked in the jungle eating things that would make civilized people puke.

  • They need to get a sandbox in there. Watching the orangutan fill the hat with dirt reminded me of seeing a child playing in a sandbox.

  • wow

  • true.. that shows they shouldn't have humans around. it's bad for them. it turns them into smoking, aggressive, house-cleaning puppets

  • god i cant imagine staying in an enclosed place like that for decades....id go nuts

  • Women doing what women do best

  • @Oxcorp2

    LOL, that's one ugly woman! I've seen worse though, like rosie o'donnell or whoopi goldberg.

  • this is wrong. they must have trained him to act like that. ANd look at how barren it all is. No plants, no trees. Poor bored orangutans. Stop going to zoos. Animals aren't happy there..

  • @wglianimaliliberi Saying they were trained to behave like that is demeaning their intelligence. If you look at more footage of these amazing creatures you will see they can and like to imitate most human behaviour, because they live in the vicinity.

  • You don't have to train great apes to do stuff like that. They will usually do it on their own if they've seen other people do it. She's probably seen people cleaning, started mimicking it herself, and got people's attention. Much like the famous "smoking chimp' on youtube. Obviously the zookeepers didn't 'train' the chimp to smoke. In fact, they want him to stop. But the chimp has seen guests smoke, and so if someone throws him a smoke, he'll pick it up and smoke it.

  • F.A.K.E

  • housework ? He imitates it a little bit but doesnt do anything really just plays around. Also gardening, nothing really, just fooling around. Why do people like to exaggerate so much with monkeys. If anyone cleaned or did gardening like that nothing would ever get done.

  • @pizzapingvin: *facepalm*

  • Yeah, you keep like that. You'll live longer.... don't open your eyes.

  • @pizzapingvin I agree, it doesn't seem he's doing that with a specific purpose, he just picked up on what the janitor did around him and found out he could get more attention (food thrown form visitors or rewards form the staff) than the other monkeys, I wouldn't be suprised to know they actually theached him those things to attract more visitor.

    If you want to see a chimp acting like humans look for the picture where the chimps morn they're dead friends when the biologist brings him away.

  • debe de ser una hembra orangutan...... para q aprendan algunos changosssss

  • 1:05 lets smell that first ^^

  • it's like watching a human! amazing!

  • Watching humans is amazing?

  • yes!!

  • NO, monkey, whatching an orangutan " behaving" like a human is what is amazing.

  • it was using the shovel: AS A TOOL!!!!!

  • she looks awesome. but, they have the intelligence of a four year old, which shows at 1:05

  • lol'd when he put the hat on his head

  • smarter then me!

  • If you find this fascinating then type in "chimp smoking."

  • this shows how smart apes are

  • I saw a guy at RiteAid today that looked just like an ourangutan.

  • lol

  • @CanadiaNecro1 eh, canuks.. and their uppidty remarks.

  • @CanadiaNecro1 hahahaha, lol dude! =D

  • OMG, i never thought they can do it, She looks almost human

  • The Organgutan looked depressed, and I can understand why. Is she alone and kept in pretty much solitare confinement. Humans watching her do not count as social gathering.

  • apparently when apes looked depressed to humans it means that they are actually calm. When they bare their teeth it means bad neews.

  • Don't know, like humans they may feel something and not show it. We may be sad but smile anyways.

  • Orangs are pretty much solitary in the wild. She could do with some more enrichment though.

  • ....

  • this looked kinda depressing...

  • COOOOOL!! MY CATS NAME IS GYPSY!!! LOL

  • lol how many bananas per hour does she work for

  • She looked bored as hell. Reminds me of exactly how I acted when I was locked up in a cell for 6 months. I would juss put random stuff on my head.

  • So true.

    Imprisoned for life for the "crime" of being unable to exert her will over that of her human captors.

  • Hey people, stop calling her a monkey. Orangutans are apes, as are chimps and gorillas. Monkeys have tails.

  • Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey. Now mind your own monkey business!

  • Orangutans are brilliant animals.

  • @93ultraviolet yes, and she looked pretty disgusted over the damage to her sunhat... figures!

  • That is one tidy orangutan!

  • wtf man this fuckin monkey is 2 smart maybe we did evolve

  • yo those monkeys r bored as fuk

  • lol they so are arent they

  • dont use the cloth you just wiped the floor and door with, wash your face, its dirty!

  • He's intelligent, stupid and funny at the same time. XD

  • thats cute

  • HELP save the ORANG UTANS!

    go to wetlands ORG and sign petition!

  • Comment removed

  • He can come to my house and tidy up.

  • Its a she.

  • @oklahomaisok.....You want him to come to your house and tidy up.....your mama pampered you a lot you lazy ass.... u need to learn to work hard and learn from this exotic being!!!

  • I have worked hard from the time I was a kid on the farm. No one pampered me and I retired from 25 years of working at a university......think before you criticize someone that you don't know.

  • K I m sorry prof grandpa :)

  • grande ability,but is me him sorrow.

  • I do not really care how we evolved, I do care about saving what we have, and I want to save the Orangutans. They belong in the wild, so they can do what Orangutans do.....

    I wonder where she lived before the zoo, this is learned behavior maybe???

  • evolutionists believe all living organisms developed by one singular cell living in plasma....which split and split apparently occuring over billions of years and then eventually formed the complex systems we have today in our body??????

  • so what he can clean but he ain't doin a very good job at it - i definitely won't hire him

  • socute!!!XDDD

  • why do the people on the east side of the earth get all the weird things

  • 3:14 " Yeah, Tommy Dickon took my cigarette."

  • haha

  • Comment removed

  • That cant be too hygenic, using that towel on her face...

  • that is just wrong...

  • is she available to do any housekeeping? she must be cheap, you only have to pay her in bananas

  • Creationism? One word..... laughable!

  • evolution??? so you believe the entire animal kindom evolved from smudge???

  • Smudge?? What on earth are you talking about?

  • smudge?

  • 頭の良いオランウータン。

  • oranagutans rules

  • Sorry I didn't realise this was a biblical debate. I thought it was an ape with a cloth. Hahaha.

  • I think its great that creationists get all defensive after watching a non biased video of an orangutan. Wake the f up, that animal is smarter than some humans.

  • There appears to be only one dyed-in-the-wool "Creationist" on this page. Just whom are you addressing?

  • Solian, Dearheart...My comment is in agreement with your's. I do not oppose your argument, I am embellishing upon it. More evidence is piling up in the Scientific community that orderly Creation, etc., as taught in the Bible, for example, is okay. The Universe is okay. You are okay. So, stop struggling.

  • haha no i know it was,im sorry if it seemed otherwise,thank you though.

  • Comment removed

  • Just to clear the air: DNA similar does NOT = same as. The DNA is used differently by each species. Humans share 90% DNA with mice...50% with brocolli. Yet Humans look nothing like a mouse, or brocolli....but genes are "similar." It doesn't suggest that they are anything Human (Homo Sapiens Sapiens). Personally, my Poodle shows more Human traits than these apes.

  • The point about the shared DNA is that it proof that we all (even your dog and Brocolli) have a common ancestor. The shared quantity of DNA diminishes as you go to more and more further forms, which is why we share so much with Orangutans and so little with algae (but still a lot!). How can you account for this any other way? God just did it that way cos he felt like it? Come on!?

  • aliveinsd-'Personally, my Poodle shows more Human traits than these apes.' You have a fertile imagination.

    Does your poodle; make and use tools, recognise itself in mirrors, make plans for the future, have hands, walk capably on hind legs, laugh, nurse babies in its arms?

    Spend time with apes and you will see them do all these things. They are our brothers and sisters and we treat them like filth on the basis of some far-fetched, imported iron-age creation myth.

  • Poor bugger is bored out of her skull. Zoo captive breeding is good for lots of animals but apes are too smart to live that way- its a prison camp.

  • Damn man I got to buy an ourangutan

  • i watch this and think how can anyone not believe in god? he must be an amazing creator to make an animal so intelligent.amazing

  • How about gosh isn't evolution amazing!!

  • haha.i respect your thought man..i just know theres no way i could ever believe in something as silly as evolution. the body is much too complex to believe we all came from fish,haha.even darwin said years later he might have been wrong.anyway that orangutan is awesome!!

  • "I just know...." oh dear sounds like another religious zealot. Despite the masses and masses and masses of evidence that supports evolution you "just know" do you? Well it just astonishes me that people choose to throw their hand in with an idea that has absolutely NO evidence to suggest its correct. That is simply crazy to me!! but heh it's your life whatever pleases you I guess. And NO Darwin never said that and YES the orangutan is awesome!

  • what about carbon dating for 1? its proved that the bible is accurate on dates of cities falling, world powers arrising,and SO much more! ive studied the bible thourougly,so yes i may say i 'just know' but i also KNOW. everything the bible predicted that would happen over 2000 years ago is happening now,earthquakes,poverty,critic­al times,pestilence,food shortage, i want a hope of something more.that doesnt make me foolish,it gives me hope.

  • What about carbon dating? The bible says the world is just over 6000 years old and you mention carbon dating?? Are you deliberately winding me up? I can't tell if you're actually being serious now.

  • oh yeah and darwin did say that. look it up. he did. im not trying to be a jerk to you man, i hope you dont think that.i respect your ideas

  • No he didn't it was claimed by his nurse on his deathbed that he had a bedside conversion.....she being the only one who allegedly heard him. Needless to say she was a catholic and a woman of strong faith. Please forgive me that I can spot the sign of a little agenda there. Do you honestly think having put his whole life into that work, he would simply recants everything is lies according to a catholic who was the only one who heard him??

  • haha,whatever man.we could do this all day.

  • Haha I'm afraid slightly scepitcal would be putting it very lightly indeed!! lol

  • There is a clear straight continuum from fish to you in the fossil record. Add to that your internal anatomy is essentially similar to a fish and that your DNA is rife with fish genes. You think thats silly? But believing the world was made from scratch in 6 days by an invisible man who only spoke to people in a few middle eastern iron age villages because you read it in a book is totally rational? What a nutter!

  • WOW!! What is it with you people? Cant someone have a Hope in what they believe? I don't go around calling you people idiots because you don't believe in god? Fact is i looked it up and was wrong about what darwin said, there is no proof to say otherwise,but just like the article said about it,who cares? The fact that im impressed with what my god Jehovah created with this intelligent animal makes me happy,why get upset about it? Flaws in the evolution theory,where do i start?

  • A pinhead of DNA has a billion times more information capacity than a 4-gigabit hard drive.Evolution does not require a single missing link, but innumerable ones. We should be surrounded by a zoo of transitional forms that cannot be categorized as one particular life form. But we don't see this—there are different kinds of dogs, but all are clearly dogsThe fossils show different sizes of horses, but all are clearly horses.

  • The reason you can't fill a zoo with transitional forms is that our ancestors (by definition) are dead. The transitional forms became extinct. There are rare creatures today descended reasonably unchanged from our transitional forms- heard of lungfish? Its a fish with very strong limbs and a lung just like a land animal! Try comparing a lizard with a salamander- the transition is easy to picture. Creationism is such an artificial idea. Without evolution biology makes no sense.

  • None is on the verge of being some other life form. The fossil record shows complex fossilized life suddenly appearing, and there are major gaps between the fossilized "kinds."Darwin acknowledged that if his theory were true, it would require millions of transitional forms. He believed they would be found in fossil records. They haven't been.The series of pictures or models that show progressive development from a little monkey to modern man are an insult to scientific research.

  • What??? There are MASSES of clear transitional forms in the fossil record- just because you don't want to know about them doesn't make them less real.Start with reading 'your inner fish' by Neil Shubin: awesome fossils which your mob said would never be found!

    On horse ancestors- if you saw an Eohippus you would never call it a horse- they were the size of terriers and had loads of toes! Yet full transitional forms between it and today's horses are common.

  • look man,just like i told the last guy,we could do this all day. Evoution theory has too many gaps,period. Your talking about inner Fish? Truth is these "fish" are just fish.tell me where there are fossil records of a half man half fish,or half ape for that matter,science and history prove it.there are none. All those supposed "ones" they found are an insult and even acknowleged to be probably "just apes".

  • You are wrong, evolution does not have all the gaps you claim- and where there are some, scientists are actively the fossils to fill them. Check out the new fossils of Tiktaalik- it is a clear fish/amphibian transition. It has features of both. The Creationist categorisation 'system' can't deal with it so they just lump it in one category or another randomly. Its is one link in the long long chain that led to us. Please spend some time looking at these fossils before you trash them!

  • half man half fish? its obvious you have NO IDEA what evolution theory is. People with any education in the subject, no matter their opinion of a higher power are laughing at your ignorance. Learn what evolution is and then make your argument.

  • wow dude you are a retard,im making a point when i say that, "learn about evolution?" did you not read everything i just sent you? Try reading a bible! If the rest of the world share a hope that outweighs these theories of yours in evolution,maybe your the one that needs to pick up a book and read, life is too amazing,and your just too ignorant.

  • Solian: Creationism does not preclude evolution, nor other scholarly fare. The Bible is very much at home with Science. The Vatican has stated in recent (by Church standards) that evolution is consistent with Biblical teachings.

    I used to be a hardnosed scientist, but too many years, travels, studies, and personal scrutiny leave me in agreement with the Church. Who is to say that 1-day = 1 billion years in astro-time? The Bible lists the order of Earth-building same as Science. Human = Divine.

  • Im not saying i dont believe in science and evoution to a degree,i dont believe that humans came from the sea or apes or whatever it is,i believe we all had a beginning and a creator,thats it. As for what the vatican say, i wouldnt count anything they say,i have enough sense to know where there's hipocrisy involved

  • Comment removed

  • oh yeah and by the looks of it....your the one being laughed at.

  • When you look at a watch, you assume there was a watchmaker. A watch is too complex to "happen" by chance. Yet such living systems are almost infinitely more complex than a watch. They could not be random—they simply had to be designed and created.

  • If life were deliberately designed, why is it designed with so many flaws (flaws which evolution explains clearly)? Eg. the human appendix.

    There is nothing random about natural selection- its the opposite, a very disciplined way of weeding unfit genes and spreading useful ones. Its happening in front of your nose- heard of antibiotic resistance? Are you saying your loving God designed and created drug resistant TB? Again- evolution elegantly explains biology while Creationism explains nothing.

  • Um he is hired. I will pick him up next week.

  • lol

  • Orangutans are awesome

  • "warned not too"?..by who?...Americans....?....perha­ps Americans shouldn't have dropped 2 atomic bombs on japan killing thousands...a few whales here and there..please...oooooh "they have been warned"...We'll I warn you, don't make fun of a whole group of people just because of the actions of a few

  • Warned not to by the UN, the Japanese, at the rate they were killing the whales, would have wiped out the breeding population.

  • dumbass

  • I am sad to learn Gypsy is depressed, I thought she seemed bored also. It would be wonderful if they could be free. The countries that they are from is destroying their habitat at an alarming rate. I am not much of a fan for zoos.....

    I don't think Orangutans aren't as agressive as Chimps, correct me if I am wrong....

  • Orangutans have the potential to be aggressive, but they usually don't attack without a good reason. Chimps on the other hand, go apeshit all the time. Orangutans are very territorial though.

  • i wish zoo's didnt exist and people let animals be free

  • That's very ignorant of you. You clearly have no idea how most zoos work and the amazing things they do for the benefit of their animals. Please learn more about them before being so judgmental.

  • wow. This ape is so old that it has to be aware and intelligent. Its like if you were 5 years old for 50 years you would gain some intelligence.

  • Hi, i would like to say this is a badly treated orangutan. I study them at uni and i know that when they cover their eyes with something it means they are depressed.

    Gypsy does this at 1:13.

    Also her coat at her lower back is realy badly looked after. It could be down to self-harming. They tend to sctrach consistantly which causes hair loss.
