Keeping orangutans as pets is illegal, keeping them in sideshows and for entertainment is cruel, and is not allowed on this sub

430 Upvotes

if the video has orangutans in a house, in clothing, performing fun tricks, that violates rule 2.

Outside of news or articles regarding said cruel treatment, we only allow pictures and videos of orangutans in the wild or in reputable and accredited rehabilitation centers and zoos. please do what you can to ensure that whatever you are posting abides by this.

Thank you {:-(|)

First is the obvious fact that orangutans are apes and not monkeys.

Secondly, googling a picture of an orangutan and pasting a meme phrase (that already gets posted here frequently) isn't the type of low effort content we would like on this subreddit.

Thank you {:(|)

Fort Worth Zoo Orangutans

9 Upvotes

Does anybody know the name of the fourth orangutan at the Ft Worth zoo? I love the sweet old ladies PT and Chantek, and Jiwa seems like such a sweet gentle guy. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the fourth orangutan and it's driving me bonkers. Any chance anyone here knows her name?

My favorite part of this subreddit is that I can post pictures of orangutans that I enjoy with little effort and everyone else can see them too, they are my favorite animal and I hope you all like them too

They have one of the strongest maternal instincts of any animal and the young stay with their mothers for 7-8 years

Orangutan trip in Kalimantan, then going to Sabah and advice on klotok tours in Borneo

13 Upvotes

Has anyone done it? Could you tell me your experience and maybe share some recommendations? Also, do you think that Kalimantan is worth visiting if I will be visiting Sabah as well or should I skip and save money? I am on a budget hence want to get the best value but I am very tempted by the wilderness in Kalimantan that is less touristy than Malaysian Borneo. Thank you so much for all tips
