Video shows an orangutan imitating the behavior of the photographer. Watch closely. She showed behavior that the photographer missed until watching the video. She showed a high-level ability to watch and then make the same motions. Orangutans are known to imitate to the point of neatly washing clothes and other activities.
The Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) consists of two species of great apes native to Indonesia and Malaysia. They have orange/reddish hair and long arms. They are the most arboreal of the great apes and each night they fashion nests in which they sleep. They can grow to almost 6 feet tall and weigh over 260 lbs. Like other apes, they are remarkably intelligent. They use tools regularly. According to researcher, James Lee, orangutans are the world's most intelligent animals other than humans. They have great learning and problem solving ability. Some think they have greater problem solving abilities than chimpanzees. They demonstrate language capability, can play computer games, and have a complex culture.
