My sister is in Borneo and sent me this picture. Apparently Orangutans don't enjoy the rain. (imgur.com)

I can't help but want to share my umbrella with him.

[–]tcrooks 65 points66 points ago

Yeah, what would happen if you tried to share your umbrella? Are you supposed to stay away from them since they're wild animals, or are they pretty harmless?

[–]weaverster 177 points178 points ago

    I'm not entirely sure to be honest... To Google! Edit* you're right, it was a chimp. My bad. :P

    [–]black27696 62 points63 points ago

    Chimps are like super humans on pot, but sometimes speed. So they're kinda relaxed and hang out, until they go nuts and rip your face off.

    [–]Let_It_Ride 28 points29 points ago

    I'd say that Bonobos are like humans on pot. Literally (almost literally) all they do is hang out, eat, and fuck. Because they all just want to get along. Normal chimps are fucking crazy though.

    [–]Maschalismos 2 points3 points ago

    One of my former colleagues worked with the apes in the san diego zoo system. He says his least favorite groups of apes are bonobos. "Those guys" he'd say, with a suddenly somber face "are perverts". Apparently the females would, er, molest him whenever he entered their habitat.

    [–]kensomniac 14 points15 points ago

    This is probably my favorite analogy ever, now.

    "I'm on pot, but sometimes speed. You can't tell, but I can pull your arms from their sockets if I wanted.. you want some of this muffin?"

                Most of them aren't violent. Unless they are sexually mature males: you may have noticed that older orangutan males have cheek pads (“flanges”) on both sides of their faces. That is one of a few signs that they are sexually mature, and these males will protect their territory aggressively, so they can be potentially dangerous.
                Although females and young orangutans aren't particularly violent, they are nevertheless a wild animal, they may or may not be used to humans, and people that approach them may not know what scares them or enrages them. Beware with touching or playing with a young orangutan if his mother is around!

                  [–]Weereenseen 33 points34 points ago

                  This is probably at one of the orangutan rehabilitation centers (Sepilok - http://www.orangutan-appeal.org.uk/about-us/sepilok-rehabilitation-centre and Semenggoh http://www.sarawakforestry.com/htm/snp-nr-semenggoh.html are the ones I know about on the Malaysian side of Borneo).

                  They try to raise freed captive baby orang utans in such a way that they'll eventually be able to return to the wild.

                  The human visitors have to stay on the paths, the apes can do as they want. They are of course ridiculously strong, but not aggressive.

                  [–]IWentToTheWoods 4 points5 points ago

                  For anyone wanting to see more orangutans, I highly recommend the recent IMAX film Born to be Wild (narrated by Morgan Freeman, even!) about an orangutan rehabilitation center in Borneo and an elephant rehabilitation center in Kenya.

                        It's not the rain he hates. If you look closely you can tell he's actually having an existential crisis.

                                        orangutans don't like the rain. If they know it is going to rain soon, they will sometimes try to find shelter, however, if they are stuck in the rain, they have this odd behavior. Even if they are soaking and cold, they will sit in the same place while raining. Gorillas also have this behavior.

                                        [–]just-plain-mean 42 points43 points ago

                                        Because there's no trees on the goddamn bridge. Next question.

                                        This is probably at Sepilok or a similar center where they repatriate orphaned orangutans to the wild. This young one probably is probably recently repatriated and still dependent on people.

                                        or under the bridge! I guess he hasn't quite figured it out yet. I feel sorry for animals that can't get in out of the rain.

                                        [–]ElScreecho 15 points16 points ago

                                        Don't go under the bridge. That's where all the orangutan junkies go shoot up on their ape-smack and write songs about being alone in the rainforest of angels...

                                            They also are unusual among the apes in that they often make their little tree nests with an upper nest above the one that they sleep in, as a roof to keep the rain off!

                                            Their arm-hair is also adapted to the rain. In humans, arm hair direction is from shoulder to hand. In orangutans, arm hair direction is from shoulder to elbow, and hand to elbow. This mean that when the orangutan stands in the pose demonstrated in the OP, rain-water is channelled to the elbow.

                                                                Anthropology sure does have a liberal interpretation of anthropology, if your major covers this. Pretty interesting though!

                                                                    Went with my ex...her and her sister were redheads. little guy came ambling out the jungle and climbed up her. Then rain...he did this. Freaing out if its the same one.

                                                                    It's an experience. DO IT

A troop of howlers were in the top of a nearby tree. And they started howling indeed. It seemed like a bit of it was to make sure the rest of the troop was OK, but they were clearly unhappy. We could see the wet sad faced monkeys huddling in the tree.

                                                                                          [–]traxxes -1 points0 points ago
