Amazingly strong orangutans with attack felines. We're going to lose that war

Anytime you see multiple species sharing a space like this it’s a clue that what you’re looking at is not a real zoo but either a roadside tourist trap that exploits animals for profit or some rich person who collects exotic animals. Not cute at all.

Why the fuck is an orangutan in the same enclosure as tigers?

If you’ve seen Tiger King, this video is from Doc Antle’s “zoo.”

This facility partakes in animal abuse. Nothing to smile about. OP has no brains.

What started this experiment, and why would the momma tiger require interspecies assistance?

u/DontTreadOnTrees 2d ago

Nothing, since she's been garrotted and sold for parts

This Orang Utan is also a baby and there is nothing cute about it.

I am in a really bad place since march-april. This video restored a few percent of my faith in the world! Thank you.

u/MrRogersAE 2d ago

Alternative headline: In an effort to increase profits zoo has eliminated zookeeper duties by enslaving other primates into fulfilling typical zookeeper duties.

u/Luci-Noir 2d ago

Disgusting that all up people think animal abuse is cute.

I hope Orangutan actually babysits Tiger Cubs not Hurt Tiger Cubs

She seems like a better caretaker than my mom.

u/JaegerBane 1d ago

That’s going to be a weird crime fighting team when the cubs grow up.

Teenage Milk-Fed Ninja Tigers, with their Orangutan master.

u/GeologistRelative425 1d ago

Awwww that's so cute, now I wonder what's keeping us humans from being caring towards other people (see this mom? Even orangutans can provide more care to an animal that isn't one of their species)

3

u/Next_Drama1717 1d ago

In Malay, the word ‘Orang’ means person and ‘hutan’ means forest. Put together, orangutan is person of the forest.

u/LikeIkes 1d ago

Freaking love Orangutangs. They make my short list of Animals that I would wanna hang with. Them and Cappybarras. So chill and sweet. Also cute as the cats pajamas. Would never want to own one, just be their best friend. Ya know, let them adopt me.

Oh my god!! I can't wait to see their relationship when they bigger, they bonded forever

Quite frankly he might be better suited to this job than a human lol

I think better odds of survival if the tigers ever lose their marbles lol

u/blueViolet26 1d ago

Stuff like this doesn't sit well with me. AI or not.

u/Hot-Sea855 1d ago

Long before AI and even social media, I read accounts of orangutans living in human camps learning to paddle canoes, make pancakes and wash clothes.

This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen

u/murfburffle 1d ago

The cat would have a hard time telling us apart. They probably think the orangutang is a small zookeeper

3

u/Ferrally_Polite 1d ago

Bc it’s innate to reproduce and she’s probably alone in some enclosure.

u/thepantlessavenger 1d ago

THIS is why I internet. I just hate that my first thought now is "plz dont b AI"...

u/beviebooboo 2d ago

I’m convinced that primates love cats as much as humans do.

That's how cats were made...

The tiger cubs will think the Orangutan is the New Mother.

Thank you for posting such a Nice Video.

u/Minflick 2d ago

Mom may not be be taking care of the cubs. That happens. I don't know if it's more common in captivity and it also happens in the wild, but it DOES happen in captivity. Stress, no role model to learn the parenting skills. Who knows.
