>>5069781i thought flanges would be stiffer desu.
>>5069826samemakes sense that you would never notice since they move so slow
Can there be such a thing as too much flange?
>>5069943a question worth pondering
I love these guys like you wouldn't believe
>>5069943The m stands for "mucho flange"
nicest orangutan face ever frozen in time with that bonk sound.
>>5069754Most based of the great apes; more than us, certainly. They will prosper again after we erase ourselves through our own folly, and that old adague from the Good Book shall become reality: "fortunate the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.">>5069944check 'em double dubs

>>5073494Orangs are VERY good motivated,so as along as they are fed, they are content.
>>5073609>Orangs are VERY good motivatedI like how your typo remains correct
>>5073494Humans are obligate carnivores and have superior willpower and entitlement.
>>5073638Orangs are indeed good when they get food
>Good bye cruel world. My only regret is that I didn’t eat enough Jackfruit
>>5072672no its not. it is what the little mutant looks like. they will prob try to breed him someday and make another even more mutant ape
>>5073655Jesus! years later and pics of that fat spoiled chump Beni being and behaving a disgusting pig still show up on /an/
Are the claims of 130kg / 285 pound orangutans legit? i assume those belong to obese zoo pongos because that's almost gorilla weight
Does anyone have the "looking to get cucked?" Beni meme?
>>5074549Fuck i attached that image by accident i apologize
>>5074549this 'un?
>>5074634Yes thank you
>>5074550don’t EVER apologize for the truth. do you have more like this but with a pongo?

nice face lol ,wish i could hear her scream and struggle!! dude on the left looks like he is ready to bust out laughing!!
>>5070027>>5070658that level of hair seems inconvenienthow do they cope with their hair like that?
>>5074548That is for sure obese individuals. 200 pounds / 90kg is a healthy weight for a large male
>>5078880question came up a few threads ago tooI remember the gist being that the humidity in Borneo and Sumatra along with constant brushing from branches keeps their hair shorter and finerit's only really in captivity that you start seeing hair curtains turning into dreads

>>5081452nah, he's a bong named Wousanpic is from when he was let back in with his missus after his son (Ranbi, foreground) was born
Extremely funny looking animal
>>5081977i know it’s unnatural and frowned upon and i think orangutans would probably like wearing clothes and hats and the like… they seem to enjoy getting dressed.>>5082242what a classy lady!a beaut
>A five-year-old male Sumatran orangutan named Pustakawan, who was known as Kawi, unfortunately died at Prague Zoo this morning. The tragic event was caused by Kawi’s youthful recklessness and a game in which he underestimated his physical abilities. Half an hour before the zoo opened, he let go of the rope while swinging and fell into a water moat, where he drowned as a result of the accident.:( nest in peace angel. he was far too young. this is heartbreaking, they need to stop using moats in enclosures.
>>5082316I don't know if its the colder climate of western nations or a religious thing, but habit wearing is a well documented behaviour in captive Pongos
>c'mon babe>let's go to sleep under the thunkful monke blanket
>>5083013i propose zookeepers give em some hats, sunglasses, shirts and scarves and see what they do with them. it should count as enrichment, they’d love it.
>>5083278probably not sunglasses since they can be fashioned into tools to break the enclose and stab keepers and suchthe rest I wholeheartedly support
Pongos will go extinct next year...pay your last respects brothers.....
>>5085242unironically the tapanulis will probably go extinct within the year. a recent flood already wiped out a significant percentage of them.
big bellaayyyyysss
Why are there no pongos in India?
>>5085554too stinky
>>5085554There are, but the pollution made them bald and retarded so we call them indians
>>5085578Please don't insult orangutans like that
hope you all have a splendid Christmas, friends
>>5086051so adorable>>5086070so so cute
>>5069943I think it likes it
>>5086070merry pongomas
>>5082953nature eliminates the weak and dumb, even in a cage
>>5069754I genuinely love themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jtVSlezkls
>>5087498A pongo dressed as a chimp? that's kind of weird
>>5087501back in the days of animal performers, it was often easier to dye a pongo's hair black than attempt to train a chimp, especially if you wanted a more subdued performanceeveryone comes out of it with all of their digits still attached
>>5087503I always wondered what a fully black flanged male would look like
>>5088199surely there must have been melanistic pongos at some point, most other animals have examplesI suppose the trouble would be how rare they are in the first places, just as rare as albinos if not more so and there's only been one documented albino pongo from what I can gather

hi fellow autists i like rangy tangs too theyre my favorite animal hahaha yay
>>5093615splendid
>>5093615this but unironically
I love how their reddish hair contrasts with the green jungle
>>5094795surprisingly effective when your enemies have bum eyes
>>5094926So pongos basically evolved to be green but our eyes perceive them as orange?
>>5094930less trying to be green and more just blending in so tigers can't see themmuch easier to make orange hair than green hair, so that caught on with the ancient munki
>>5069754They know
>>5095018what do they know?
>>5073668>BeniBased
>>5086070Isn't this that poor orang that locked in a bird cage and he couldn't move very much when he went to the rehab center?
>>5095191precious Budi with his joints all swollen from being fed condensed milk for monthshe's a tough and terrific big beautiful boy now, off in the jungle with a harem of his ownwere it that we all were so fortunate
Watching this video was what made me realize we already arent alone in the universe.
>>5095197he has no flanges in this photo aka unattractive to females. a harem is questionable...
>>5096028You can literally see they are starting to grow in that photo
>>5095197i like that you can recognize budi from that little beauty mark above his lip. it’s so cartoony.
What a magnificent creature
>>5096300why did god let us inherit the earth instead of them? theyre way cooler…
>>5096438they can't be tricked into paying taxes :(
>>5096438The other day i was talking with my cousin about how being related to chimps the most is probably why we are where we are. I feel like if we were more related to orangutans or gorillas we would be much more docile by nature and, sadly, we are at the top because of our aggression and willingness to fuck over other members of our own species
>>5096511we should have come from bonobos instead. so close...
>>5097165nope i still hate baby orangs and id toss this one and sibu in the wood chipper first chance i got and listen to the squeaks and shrieks...from baby orang idolizing people
>>5097238bamboo torture for you unironically

>>5086331Dante
>cahaya is 6 years old todayWow
>>5099339Did she get her hair cut?
>>5099412young pongos seem to lose length on their hair as they grow upthink it's due to all the rough and tumble fun and games they play
>>5099339i’m ngl… she’s not a qt anymore bros
>>5069754Why are flangelets like this?

>>5108678i can’t sympathize with tuan here, sorry. i’ve known mimi since she was a baby… is this what it’s like to have a daughter bros?
>>5108691if it makes you feel any better, Galdikas reassured her cook, who was in the midst of an 'encounter' with a 'forcible' pongo, that they're very small downstairs
anons, would you like to come back in your next life as a pongo? the downsides of course include all the deforestation, high probability of becoming an orphan, and/or getting shot yourself. but on the bright side your flanges look sick as fuck.
>>5109980if I could specify being born to a rehabilitated mother on one of those sanctuary islands, yeah, I think that would be pretty doperegular supply of foodno predatorsreduced risk of poachinglots of friends nearby to wrestlegetting to cuddle with orange mother in a big leafy nestsounds pretty comfy desu
Orangutans fascinate me because they're soo smart, it's uncanny. If they could talk, motherfuckers WILL be paying taxes.
>>5110220that's why they don't talk
>>5110220>tfw you discover the amount of tax put on the import of bananasit just isn't fair pongbros...
why come things just keep getting worse?
>>5111384fuck everything
Lovely thread you guys have going on here. I've scrolled past these a million times and never took the time to check them out.I've got a serious question, however. Orangs have 48 chromosomes and people with downs have 47 (1 extra chromosome 21). Is there any correlation as to why ornags look like they have downs syndrome to their 24 pairs of chromosomes? It's always been uncanny how similar they look to people with downs.
>>5111467it's less that Pongos (and all non-human apes for that matter) have extra chromosomes and more that humans have a fused chromosome, specifically chromosome 2there have been cases of Down's in Pongos as well as Chimps, but the information is scant and what little there is can mostly only be found in non-English sourcesas for why Pongos and Down's people look so similar, I'd say it's a case of correlation rather than causation, like how they look similar to east-asian people (Mongoloid) without any of the bizarre genetic mismatches that went into the actual creation of chinkiespic is Jimmy, the only confirmed case of Pongo Down's I could find a picture of
>>5111467>>5111475I think the most fascinating part is that Down's causes neoteny (retaining baby characteristics). In that pic Jimmy, despite looking like an infant, is really 20 years old based on dental estimates.But 100% the resemblance is just a coincidence. One of the reasons Downies look like that is because the nasal bridge stays flat throughout development (which in turn makes the eyes look hooded). Pongos just naturally have flat noses and hooded lids.
>>5111384fug :(
>>5111384This especially sucks because she was one of the last big voices expressing skepticism for the joke they're calling "sustainable" palm oil.Even the most shameless RSPO shills (like Michelle Desilets) would shut up real quick when Dr. Galdikas showed up. A dark day for pongos.
>>5111986I only realised a few years ago that the sickly wax flavour in modern chocolate was from "sustainable eco-friendly fair trade (((vegetable oil)))" I hate the Indonesian ruling class like you wouldn't believe
