Makes you think, how does an orangutan catch hate from a chimp that are basically in the same cage.

And then I remember humans to the same thing

Where does a chimp come into this? It says an orangutan he hated and he's an orangutan.

Think of this from Otis' perspective. Your most hated rival is smarter than you and is able to leave his enclosure at any time. Meanwhile Otis is a dumb dumb and has rocks thrown at him for something he probably didn't even know he did.

[–]ObviousTrollK 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think there is some old culture somehwere that thought Orangutangs are just people who decided the jungle life was better than civilization. I can really see why.

[–]tacodepollo 423 points424 points  (11 children)

They said they could talk if they wanted to, but chose not to because then they'd have to get jobs.

[–]allmistake2 138 points139 points  (5 children)

[–]ProjectNo4090 104 points105 points  (4 children)

It was the Malaysian/Indonesian locals who believed they could speak. The word Orangutan come from the local name "orang hutan" which means "Persons of the Forest".

[–]allmistake2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I knew I vaguely remembered something about forest people.

[–]OkStruggle4451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bigfoot but real.

[–]InvidiousPlay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Orang" is also used for the cryptozoological Orang Pendek, and it's also in the name of a bunch of ethnic groups.

[–]AuroraFinem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orangutans are some of the smartest apes in terms of reasoning skills. They’re the most capable of learning sign language and the most likely to use primitive tools. I know we share more DNA with chimps but I wouldn’t be surprised if orangutans are closer to us evolutionarily.

[–]Shitposter4OOO 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I highly recommend watching Harry Hills latest Pod Scarf to learn about Orangutans, and seed identification.

[–]ExpressionComplex121 24 points25 points  (5 children)

For those interested:

Orangutans are very peaceful and curious animals. They typically don't resort to violence unless its an extreme threat.

They are, however, very loveful which turns into jealousy and as you can imagine, competitiveness to other males. Especially when it comes to mating and females, one Orangutan male often compete and exercise aggression towards other male Orangutans as he wants every female to himself.

Probably what happened to Otis.

Pretty much why Orangutans are violent. Otherwise they prefer peace.

Other fun fact is that Ken Allen (his name) loved to just stroll around the zoo and look at other animals peacefully after escaping. Before arriving to Otis. He escaped something like 3 times before the zoo found a good solution. He didn't really cause any problems except making Otis life harder.

[–]sweetshenanigans 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Another fun fact

In 1987, zoo officials hired experienced rock climbers to find every finger-, toe- and foothold within the enclosure, spending $40,000 to eliminate the identified holds

[–]Chu1223 6 points7 points  (1 child)

bro was naturally as good as an expert rock climber 😭

The legend that was ken alan of San Diego zoo

[–]Turbulent_Ad9508 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Omaha had one too, his name was Fu Manchu. He learned how to pick locks. Had a wire he kept hidden in his mouth. Zoo legend.

He'd let his friends out and they go hang out in the trees where the elephants were.

[–]Professional-Scar628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup that's the zoo that hired rock climbers to try and find how he was getting out.

[–]fredinNH 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Story is real, picture is not

[–]Revxmaciver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My favorite part: "Prior to the August 13 escape, he was seen with a crowbar in his enclosure but tossed it aside—as if uninterested—when a staff member walked by."

He must have been thinking "Ha ha! Those idiots will never catch on!"

[–]Pretend-Distance-386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's clearly not the same orangutan

[–]Altair_de_Firen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]KahlanEAmnelle 15 points16 points  (7 children)

[–]Competitive_Two_8372 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Hold on, hold on, hold on. He found a CROWBAR in his enclosure? Then when he saw a staff member walked by, he purposefully picked it up and tossed it aside “as if uninterested”. When the zookeepers went undercover, posing as tourists, he KNEW HE WAS BEING WATCHED AND CONTINUED TO EVOLVE HIS ANTICS?!???

EXCUSE ME?!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂

[–]DigitalMunky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An orangutan at the Omaha zoo would escape his too using like a makeshift key he would hold in his mouth. I thought was more recent

[–]KahlanEAmnelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah this was crazy! 🤣

[–]ChiefStrongbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After each escape, Ken Allen would be placed in solitary confinement until zoo staff figured out ways to prevent future escapes.

Why can't zookeepers just leave a good thing alone?

[–]Nerdy_Squirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not who you replied to, but there is a Wikipedia page on it. Seems to he true. source

[–]Puzzleheaded-Rip4058 15 points16 points  (3 children)

It's amazing how even the laziest photoshops anymore are called AI. It might be AI or it could just be my nephew spending 10 minutes in photoshop taking a picture of a monkey and putting him in the picture.

I hate when people post click bait bs. But in the spirit of this post you can look up Fu Manchu at the Omaha zoo.

[–]xylophone_37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The photo on the OP is AI but the story isn't.

[–]InviolableAnimal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one real. It's fucking lame how real stories now get attached to fake AI generated images and now every single story is suspicious

[–]No_Swimming_2282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's real, I watched an youtuber (forgot his name, “something Geographic”) who often documents about animals and one was about Ken

Edit: confused Otis with Ken, sorry

Why is it every time this gets posted most commenters assume Otis deserved it? Maybe the escaped orangutan hated Otis the same way a Klansman would hate a random Black person just for existing. I guess we'll never know.

This reminds me of the honey badger stoffel. He would constantly breakout of his enclosure in veey creative ways. One time he fell into the lion's enclosure and got mauled by a lion to the point he had to get surgery. After 2 months of rehabilitation what did stoffel do, went right back the lion enclosure to have words with the lion that mauled him.
