  • Orangutans belong in the wild, not cages

  • Just wait til the orangutans learn how to work in call centers! It might finally not be such a pain in the ass to communicate with customer service!

  • yes indeed! whistle is close to talking! they use the same organs! and even coordinated with lips! that is intelligent indeed!

  • @whizzhead Congolese Orangutans. Now I've heard everything.

  • @InnocenceExperience oooooooooooooooo well sooooooooorrry! MR SCIENTIST!

  • @whizzhead Orangutans are from Asia.

  • @moist888 get ur mother back to the congo then

  • @moist888 Agreed, however unfortunately the only way to preserve some species is to keep them safely in zoos. For example, Monkey World in Dorset, England is a wonderful place, where the owners have saved many apes which were living horrible lives.

  • I can't even whistle..

  • shes singing the blues

  • I feel bad how they're just there alone and trapped.
