  • I want to hug that Orangutan right the fuck now !!!

  • When they burn and clear cut the forests in Borneo, Orangutans have been seen fleeing from the forests, on fire. I read that in the Nat'l Geo Mag. Some countries do not understand the treasure they have but knowledge is power. This is a lucky little creature.

  • @darkiz7 I'm pretty sure we can find dumb creatures all over, not only on orangutans, or specific races, as an example when I read comments like yours, I don't stop and say?: is just probably a dumb toothless redneck as sometimes comes to mind, but try not to feel frustrated at the ignorance. for example many gorilas and other species flee to other areas and urban zones, thanks to ignorant morons that don't know any better, look for educations hun, don't portray yourself so poorly.
