This is video footage of Suryia the orangutan and Roscoe the dog who became best friends upon meeting each other. Both Suryia and (now) Roscoe live at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species in Myrtle Beach, SC. This story will be featured this fall on National Geographic Channel's show "Odd Couples" and later this month on "Oprah".

  • What ? Is this your job ? And why do you even have these animals ? By the way, the elephant wouldn't happened to be named Ganesha would it ? :)

  • @shivakrishnarama

    Yes, this is my job, but I do not own these animals. I work for The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (website listed on sidebar). Roscoe and Suryia are two of the animal ambassadors which help with our education programs that are seen by millions of people per year. The elephant's name is "Bubbles" and was given to her by the game rangers in Africa. She came to us as an ivory orphan in the early 1980's. Many of the tigers have sanskrit names though.

  • Sidenote: It is thought "Gigantopithecus" may be distant relative of the Orangutan.

  • I NEVER KNEW THAT THEY SWIM LIKE ROCKS (THEY SINK).

  • 14 dislikes.. That's so sad. This is a beautiful video. Us humans should be more compassionate like these two. Joy to watch.

  • This shows what real love can be like. Something so wonderful. praying for a love revolution with people also instead of fighting and killing each other.

  • I have been teaching my middle school students about your programs. We have been watching the videos and reading about endangered animals as well as all the wonderful things you do to enlighten people. Expect letters from my special ed.class and know that we are grateful. i will visit my cousins in SC sometime soon and we'll all plan to visit TIGERS! This video is so inspiring. I just saw the book yesterday. You represent hope for all of us. Thank you, Joey Bortnick
