Feeding A Baby Orangutan

[CoyKiyote]

I swear, I think it's these sanctuaries that are causing most of the orphaned apes! Baby chimps and orangs bring in a LOT of donations because they're such good PR material.

[LaWannaJones]

Was not the case. They tried really hard to get the mother to care for her.

[CharlieDoan]

law of nature. Let nature taking care of it. Not nesessary to do this because human need for human first, that orange monkey will survive enough for next generations. Human just worry for human because we will destroy ourselve if we want to by 1 BUTTON of either side : Free world or Communist . So, I think not need to baby sitter so much like Australian or American do. Worry for human first :African baby instead a baby orange monkey.

Looks like a pet to me! Why do these people always have to lie?

[LaWannaJones]

NOT A LIE. They tried hard to get her mother to care for her. When she was 21 months old she was transferred to another facility where she could be raised by a surragate orangutan instead of humans. However, before she could go there, she had to be well and big enough to survivie with the other older orang that mother was also raising.

[LaWannaJones]

I filmed this project from the time she was only a couple months old until her send off at the age of 21 months. She is now close to 5 years old and all orangutan, well as much as one can be in a zoo. The facility she was at did not advertise her as a baby, that I liked.

[TrwyrDrych]

Oh rubbish! People do FINE without using butter, lard, palm oil, soy, or corn. These things are NOT "necessary." I use olive oil, sesame oil, etc. and get plenty of fats from nut butters and avocados. People DO NOT NEED JUNK FOOD. Yeesh. The idea of "necessary" is amazing. Soy, by the way, is overloading our food supply with estrogen. Tick, tick, tick goes THAT cancer bomb, not to mention the feminization of boys, etc.

[theflush]

it's really my dream to once in my lifetime bottlefeed an orangutan, tiger or panda baby.

These creatures are so precious, we should immediately stop destroying their habitats.

[Hunterbigfoot]

People don't care no more now adays. BUt there are only a few

[LaWannaJones]

TheFlush: The wild animals should NEVER BE PETS!!  I never works out well for the animal.

[CoyKiyote]

I changed a chimp's diaper once, or ten times.. was like a level in dante's inferno. :oP

[thornwellhead]

Long hair for such a little girl. I love these darlin's!

[tuberabban]

If theres a boycott of palm oil, substitutes like butter, lard, soy/corn oil would be necessary. All of which are also environmentally damaging and helpful for the corrupt farm lobby. The answer is to encourage local eating and polyculture farms.

[Baxion5]

Enough with the graphics already. Only :30 of actual video. Let it speak for itself.

The Youtube audience is intellegent enough to understand.

[beastinblack]

DONT BUY ANYTHING WITH PALM OIL IN IT

[thatitalianguy84]

if your gonna get a pet ape you better treat it like this

[LaWannaJones]

This video was not intended to promote having one as a pet. They do NOT make good pets. They belong in the wild.

[chigirl28]

Aww! I want your job! amazing.

[allysia02]

You are right baby great apes depend upon their mothers just as much as we humans do. These animals should never be pets but many of them are being taken from their mothers in the wild and placed into the illegal pet trade. We MUST support bans on priavte ownership of exotic animals like orangutans.

[LaWannaJones]

Allysia02, LOVE YOUR COMMENT

[Deathlordtwo]

Teach the oragutan how to hunt with a bow and arrow. That would be cool.

[xxsmileygurliexx]

yourr sikk

[animalfureak]

i feel really bad for orangutans....ppl r mad 2 torture such beautiful animals.thank god this one was raised with care,but there are orangutans hu may not be as lucky as her!!!

[peste16]

wow sweet and cute orangutan

[zzman305]

whats funny is that their envirement being destroted to make housing, and then the monkeys start like going into the housing districts that use to be their forests, and like break into houses and tear down power lines.

[D2Parton]

aww she is gorgeous.

[LaWannaJones]

She is! It was a privilege to watch her grow. She has been moved to be with a surrogate Orangutan mother back in October 2006 when she was just over a year and half old. She seems to really be enjoying being an orangutan living with other orangutans. I am thankful for the staff at the wonderful facility she is at now and that she lived at as a baby. I am happy they saved her life and that I got to see her.

This video is not for the NO WHALING GROUP

[LaWannaJones]

You are so right.Please accept my apologies, I added them to a list of groups and should have opened and previewed each group first. I will be more careful. I do have quite a bit of grey whale footage if you want to use it.
