>>4731010But how will we protect ourselves from the VILE PESTILENCE KNOWN AS 'MAN'?!
>>4731014with guns, of course
I wish the mega pongo Gigantopithecus was still around. Imagine what they would be like, or massive baby pongos. We could teach them sign language and be friends, MEGA PONGO FRIENDS!
>>4731004100% deserved, pongo are critically endangered and need to be protected. Not to be dressed up as tourist attractions.
>https://youtu.be/50T6oz63XuYfriends, i’m sure some of you are familiar with Ape Tracker. he uploads daily ape vids from his visits to zoos. one pongo family he uploads in particular is Jingga and Jarang. there’s lots of people in the comments concerned for jarang. some speculate his mother has rejected him, and it’s obvious there’s something wrong with his groin area. i’m worried now. are these concerns justified? is there anything we can do?
>>4731393Pongo moms usually are pretty damn good mothers, but as always, there are exceptions to this rule. I can name at least two other than Jingga.1. Poor Rambo, who does not even have the chance to be a mom to Benji, she doesn't know how, instead both her and her baby being constantly exploited for likes. She's less abusive and more apathetic, really.2. Dilla. Poor, poor Dilla. BOS caretakers tried their hardest to have her accepted Delilah, but growing up in captivity made her not fit. And on top of that, she nearly bit into her newborn girl. Delilah is thankfully doing well nowadays, however.
>>4731437unfortunately some are outright terrible mothers, it's almost always down to not being raised by their own mother and not seeing other females raise childrenpic related - Amy was rejected by her mother and went on to reject or (possibly) kill all her offspringher only surviving child was removed within an hour of being bornshe didn't seem to mind his absencethankfully Gordon is a big strong lad nowadays>>4731393this looks to be a very complicated situationJingga is feeding Jarang, and he seems to have good grip reflexes and nice bright eyesbut Jingga's methods of parenting do leave much to be desiredshe's still looking after him though, even if shoddily, so the zoo staff will be reluctant to take him away for hand-rearingthey will likely be watching the two of them like hawks, making sure that he still gets fed and only removing him if the situation becomes life-threatening for himthe lump on his groin could be a number of things, but the keepers will likely be keeping an eye on that tooI don't think there's a solution that will make everyone happy, but I pray that the zoo staff are putting Jarang's interests firstbaby Pongos are too precious to be left to chance
>>4731496>>they will likely be watching the two of them like hawks, making sure that he still gets fed and only removing him if the situation becomes life-threatening for himthe lump on his groin could be a number of things, but the keepers will likely be keeping an eye on that tooI can only hope you're right, anon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass-in-ear_behavior>The grass-in-ear behavior, object-in-ear behavior[1] or grass-in-the-ear technique[2] is a fashion statement-like behavior that some chimpanzees do. The unusual behavior has been named by scientists, and it appears to be one of the first times that chimpanzees have created a tradition that has no discernible purpose.[3]Pongobros... how do we respond?

>>4734719Gorillas are based but this isn't a gorilla thread, this is a pongo thread.
>>4734878there's a meme on /ck/ where some white guy asks for his burrito to have really spicy hotsauce and the guy gives him ketchupthe guy takes a bite and is like "woah way spicy"the joke being white people can't handle spicy food
>>4734719This one always cracks me up. Wonder what prompted him to react like this. >>4734887pretty sure I know what you’re talking about and but it’s not a /ck/ memeit is gay however
>>4734911he farted in the original vid. maybe he was caught off guard by how obvious it was kek.
In awe of this absolute creature. I only hope BOS is making sure to protect her, even in the wild.

>>4736412>>4741450This, producing melanin requires extra energy, and nature always takes the path of least resistance. Since the pale babies didn't turn into crispy lumps of cancer immediately upon exiting the womb, and they would have a better time surviving resource deficits, they pass on their slightly-more-energy-efficient genes, rinse and repeat for however many tens of thousands of years and you've got yourself a white person.

To you, what exactly is "pongo"?
>>4755104That’s kinda crazy. Harmful, but also funny. Guess we share a lot of tastes
>>4755555a question was asked cocksucker stop sperging out

>>4755605wtf pongos are epic
>>4755620they just remember the reign of the white rajahs of Sarawak
>>4756564but legitimately, the pongo Betsy was an important part of Rajah Brooke's court. She would sit next to him while he judged the fate of the Dayaks and crocodiles of the land.In many ways she was his éminence grise.

apes are not real, they're just people in fursuits.
>>4763685>implying we didn't already think Pongo are peopletry harder, sweaty
>>4748321>childI'm 42 and I'd react like that
>>4763779I like how they have a natural instinct to wear hats
>>4763855Unironically the most fashionable of the great apes. Majestic orange fur and a desire to wear hats.
Are orangutans smarter than chimps? I haven't found much info. What's seems to be well established is that both chimps and orangutans are smarter than gorillas
>>4767319I think they're about the same, but pongos are way more patientif a pan doesn't get his way quickly, he tends to get violent but a pongo will just sit and think or wait for a fresh opportunity
>>4767319in many ways yes, but it's not that simple.Pongos can delay gratification more than pancakes, which is usually seen as one of the biggest hallmarks of intelligence. Ch*mpoids simply can't overcome their animal urges, even if it means a larger reward in the future. So you give a pongo two bowls of grapes, one large and one small, and then take away whichever bowl they pick. The pongo will quickly learn to pick the smaller bowl so they'll get to keep the bigger bowl in the end.Chumps cannot comprehend this. They always pick the big bowl and get the small one, and then chimp out about how unfair this is.Pongos have demonstrated communication skills and thought processes that were previously believed exclusive to humans. They can communicate with each other about events AFTER they've passed. Their calls contain traits only found in birdsong and human speech. They have the capacity to be far more socially intelligent than African apes, even though they don't use it.Pongos do fail at least one test that chimps have occasionally passed: invisible nonadjacent double displacements. For context, humans don't start passing this test until pretty deep into childhood. You basically hide objects inside boxes and play a sort of three card monty where the only way to win is to skip past adjacent boxes.Pongos can't resist the urge to check consecutive boxes, while chimps occasionally can (more than random chance). There's some barrier holding back their thoughts.Also, it's worth pointing out that some pongos aren't even as smart as others. Sumatran pongos are way smarter than all three subspecies of Bornean pongos. And among those, P. morio are the least intelligent, though it's hard to say if this is just because they have poor nutrition in East Kalimantan (they eat bark all day long). Pongos are smarter where it counts, I still reckon.
>>4767625based chimp hater
>>4748321We are pretty similar to the other apes but with children it's even more so. Humans are pretty neotenous so the differences get bigger as both species age but baby orangutans almost look like hairy human babies to me.
>>4767319Gorilla's may be "dumber" than Chimps but are spiritually superior.
>>4768306very true
>>4749776>Checks for traffic as he crossesSmart monke

>>4768912https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbYNRrgD-UQit's okay, they're cleanly fellows
>>4768923it’s always the most mundane shit that blows my mind when it comes to pongos. when she started ringing out the towel i was amazed. they’re so smart.
>>4768955just wait and see what happens once they get the big society going

>>4771503just someone being unfriendlypay no mind
>>4752520I can't believe she already has a child of her own, i still remember my heart melting at that one video of her as a baby
Yesterday I dreamed that some evil people captured a mother pongo and her child. They put them in two separate cages on the ground, like two feet apart. It's a steel cage with bars so that both orangutans can see each other. Then the humans lit the small one on fire. The mother had to watch.
>>4773882big belly button
>>4755555wasted digits
>>4772735I've had similar dreams. sometimes I'm powerless to stop them, sometimes I'm watching myself do itI like the idea that dreams can be hypothetical worst case scenarios, to condition you to respond properly if the situation arises. or maybe we just crave trauma
anons, can we appreciate how Onyer went from a terrified little baby ape to a silly guy goofing off just like that?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH-vZOXldMAadorable little fella, hope he'll live a good life

>>4780360Well yeah, look at all the wrinkles
>>4780417how come humans are so much smoother? i mean that orangutan looks fairly young yet still wrinkly

I fucking love orangutans, man. Remember that episode of drake and josh where that fucking prick wanted to eat one
>>4783853no, but I remember that episode of futurama where that big alien nearly ate one
>>4783855Yeah it's cool though they call the cops on the rich guy trying to eat her
>>4783859aw man what a cutieshould be with his/her mom though :(
>>4783859>>4783863I'm almost certain that's Archie. He was about that age in 2007, And he even had that same exact hairstyle. Archie was an "animal actor" at the time. Spent a few years at Universal Studios as an attraction, which is just as bad as any Thai zoo if you've ever seen it. He must have had an absolutely terrible childhood.Oh, and then he moved to some nice place in Florida and had a little girl, I think you might know her name :-)
>>4783851Awww cute :3
>>4783853Yes I do. They sold it for a couple thousand dollars and then stole it back iirc. Good times
>>4783859oh guess i misremembered
>>4784011Archie has won the game of life by overcoming the hell that is child stardom and gaining a happy home for his own childrenwere we all so fortunate
>>4759616this says a lot about our society
>>4770987Being in a shitty cage probably didn't put him in a great mood to begin with.
>>4754099what would the injuries be had the cage not been there? are we talking broken bones or a travis level tragedy?
>>4785414it would for sure bite the shit out of him and maybe break his leg, but I don't think orangutans usually go for the groin or face when they're pushed to violence
>>4785414It looked pretty pissed off so I suspect some biting would be on the menu far sooner than it was actually attempted
