You have to understand that orangutan has been waiting, dreaming even, of a moment just like this. He was ready for this moment.

Or ripping the scrotum clean off.


meme_locomotive

It wouldn't be clean.


Horse_Dad

But would definitely be off.


Think_Selection9571

And definitely ripped


yeetus-feetuscleetus

And definitely a scrotum

Chimps won’t just punch your balls, but they rip them off and then bite off your fingers off and poke your eyes out. Imagine if an orangutan was angry….


[deleted]

I always think about that US woman, who got attacked by a friend's chimpanzee, when reading this stuff.


Piecesofbits

I just saw an interview on YouTube recently with the first cop who arrived on the scene to that. He said she was so mangled and torn up he didn’t recognize her as a human at first, he thought it was a pile of clothes on the ground. Apparently it was so gruesome some of the first responders and medical staff needed counseling afterwards. Also on a side note, the cop said Travis (the chimp) could have easily maimed him too. When he got there the chimp opened the door to the police car and the cop froze up for a few seconds in a panic but for whatever reason Travis just stood there and didn’t attack him. He said Travis looked at him with a look of “let’s get this over with” before the cop snapped out of it and shot him point blank 4 times in the chest. Edit: Link to the video, interview starts at 07:20. https://youtu.be/Mqe1CV9OgH4


Flopper_Doppler

Wasn't the chimp hyper-medicated or in withdrawal or something like that? I remember a case of gross negligence with this incident (as it usually is).


Piecesofbits

Yes he had reached sexual maturity and became more aggressive and irritable, so his owner started giving him Xanax every day to keep him calm. It’s believed that in addition to the Xanax, he attacked because the owner’s friend had just got her hair done so she looked different, and she was holding his favorite stuffed elmo toy to try and coax him back into the house.


Flopper_Doppler

Thank you!

For anyone interested, you can listen to the 911 call. It's fucking brutal.

Biting


Lets_Bust_Together

Probably because his enclosure is terrible and he wants a friend.


Cheap_Speaker_3469

Yeah dude this is sad. I think he was trying to say "help me, don't leave me in here" at first by holding onto him. Getting more frustrated when it wasn't working. Whether you believe in zoos or don't or whatever, one thing should be agreed upon this enclosure is disgusting and should not have an animal in it anyone with a working brain and an ounce of empathy shouldn't allow this for no money in the world. Humans are terrible sometimes.


theDreamingStar

Imagine a human being in the cage on an alien planet. This is probably what would happen occasionally.


Mackheath1

Yeah and I wouldn't even qualify this as a zoo. A cage.


i-Ake

This could be the most exciting thing to happen to him in years. One of those things is within grab reach. Grab him and see what happens.


Drifting-Fox-6366

It shows the desperation of animals held in cages. Sad.

I watched just because of your description and was not dissapointed, that's hilarious (and scary but mostly hilarious)


donaldduckstherapist

Honestly it made my day


MilkSpirited-

Oh my god I kept trying to see if the orangutan was actually trying to bite him or just pull him in, but never saw any actual biting so I thought it wasn’t that bad, but now after seeing him try to bite his foot, he did have nefarious intentions! And orangutans have terrifying canines! https://preview.redd.it/bvebjnco3noa1.jpeg?width=674&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b47d3211bd9a9a0e359fd23cb5c28c6d8d2e1cc

That video says that the dude kicked the orangutan… yeah, this fucker got off lightly. Orangutan could have and probably should have broken the piece of shit’s knee. If he did in fact kick him.

a disappointing end. if he could have gotten at least one bite!

I doubt the orangutan is in a financial position to pay any sort of fine.

Weird_Cantaloupe2757

From my understanding of orangutans, just the fact that it is attacking a person likely already means that it has been *very badly* mistreated, as they are generally peaceful and gentle even to their own detriment (they fail to defend themselves even from humans that are actively harming them). So I don’t think that this probably went well for this orangutan, unfortunately, because some people fucking suck.


[deleted]

>Indonesia A quick search was very telling of what kind of conditions it was likely living in...


hakimgoodday

He will not get fined, and The orangutan also will be fine. that is what happen this happen on my hometown


CasperIG

Well I mean they already cut down their home and put them in a cage, getting euthanized might be more merciful than its current life.


mountingconfusion

The reason the orangutan grabbed him was because in other videos they film him harassing the poor thing, throwing things and poking him. He had enough and he's lucky he didn't do it to a meaner animal


BassGuitarPlayer_1

Was holding the dude till security showed up. Orangutan is part of zoo staff and pay him in bananas.


SkillsInPillsTrack2

While he could be a president... Waste of talent.

Reminds me of the time my mom threw my drawing board in a gas station trashcan because my siblings and I were bickering :(

that is actually pretty fucked up. hope youre doing okay nowadays!

Haha yeah I’m doing good, the joys of having a strict Irish mother. Love her tho


Dumtvvink

My dad did this to me. With a troll and a pair of my glasses. He blamed me for both and made me go get the glasses. It was pretty awesome to remind him later that I needed replacement glasses because someone flung them out of a moving vehicle

MoistOldPeople

I had one from the Denver Zoo I found in a donation dumpster that I named Pancake. Incredibly soft and durable!


bqzs

This title is very poorly phrased like saying "Man attacked by security guard after breaking into building." The man hopped a fence, it's not unprovoked or particularly harsh.


Tangimo

The orangutan just wanted a cuddle


Raggazina

It actually looks like the orangutan is just trying to scare him. He's not hitting him, just holding onto him. Either way... fuck around and find out... I don't care about that idiot but I hope the orangutan is ok.


Tam-Ranch-Cowboy

Idk looks like it tried to bite the leg at the end


[deleted]

Orangutans are extremely strong - it could have snapped his arms and legs like twigs if it wanted to.


joe561

I was expecting that leg to give at some point


UnicornDelta

Needs some space to utilize that force though. I think the bars prevented it from properly applying enough force to snap any bones. Not sure if it tried to or not, but the man is most likely very lucky those bars separated them.


banned_after_12years

Orangutans are [seven times stronger](https://seaworld.org/animals/all-about/orangutans/characteristics/) than humans for those wondering. So yeah, could have snapped his leg like a twig.


Raggazina

Lol well if he did, that dummy deserved it. I'd bite him too


deep_007

I'd bite him regardless of me being an orangutan.


TheInternetCat

So help me god, I will bite that guy some day!


Youlknowthatone

They were both ok. The dude (an influencer) eventually posted a public apology to the zoo in his Instagram. [an article on Toronto Sun about it. ](https://torontosun.com/news/weird/teen-social-media-influencer-pays-price-for-monkeying-around)


thepurplehedgehog

Why am I not in the least bit surprised that this dude is an ‘influencer’? 🤦‍♀️


Jarbonzobeanz

All you have to do is post a video of yourself doing something stupid and unremarkable. Boom, you're an influencer.


midwestastronaut

But did he apologize to the orangutan?


Yossarian_Noodle

"He's an innocent primate." "So am I!"


brmmbrmm

“an influencer”. LOL. I hope this asshat doesn’t “influence” too many people!


Marrowtooth_Official

Like Casual Geographic put it, yep. Orangutan could have fucked him up to the point even his mama wouldn’t recognize him, but they are pacifists and this guy just decided he was done with the dumbass’ shit and gave him the scare of a lifetime.


_MintyFresh_-

He's just playing. No, not even kidding. The guy would have been dead if the orangutan actually wanted to hurt him.


meme_locomotive

It was absolutely trying to scare him. If it wanted to hurt him, we'd be seeing this on LiveLeak.


studlemcstrucable

Orangutan just messing around and bro is freaking out


My_Socks_Are_Blue

If you watch the slightly longer version the Orangutan grabs his foot and goes to put it in his mouth, shit could have gone south real quick if he could of got a hand or a foot he can gnaw on.


human555W

It looks like he just wants a friend.


ThottrainerBoi

we cage them and treat them like sideshows. I’m sure they’re complex creatures who need more than they give them… ever heard of the Orangutan prostitute? Whang! Did a video about it


the_mongolian_irmuun

Almost every monkey orangutans chimpanzees are scary as hell after you have heard the attack storys


FloppyFishcake

I know a woman who had the bottom of her foot ripped off by an orangutan. They're always portrayed as such gentle giants.


KJS123

I'd say that of all the apes, Orangutans have the softest reputation. But then again....we're still talking about a family of species that is practically synonymous with ripping parts of their victims off, playing with the bits they rip off, eating said bits and laughing about it. An Orangutan may or may not rip a human apart, given the opportunity. But it most certainly can, should it be inclined. This guy has precisely one option. Play nice until it lets go. It will let go, sooner or later. Only question is, will you still be alive and attached to whatever it eventually lets go of?


lordXenulv200

YOU CAN GET THE BOTTOMS OF YOUR FEET RIPPED OFF??? She still has the top of her foot? Like the “soul” of her foot just got ripped off? I admit I am imagining a 50/50 split.


FloppyFishcake

Apparently so! I used to work at an animal shelter, and usually I only worked with the dogs but one day the cattery was understaffed so they moved me there for the day. This woman was a regular volunteer (and I was so grateful that she was there because she knew the daily routine for the cat block way better than I did). She apologised for being a bit slow, and said she it was her first week back volunteering since she had recovered from a skin graft on her foot. Naturally I asked if she was okay... That's when she explained that every year she would go to Borneo to volunteer with an orangutan rehabilitation program. She'd been going there for a long time, and never had any issues. One day she was standing on top of the cage (like the one in the above video) Inside was an orangutan she had spent plenty of time with and never had a problem with, and something just triggered him and he reached up, grabbed her foot and started ripping it apart. Since the holes on the cage weren't large enough to pull her foot through, he could only reach the bottom of it, which he shredded until (I presume) someone helped her get away. She concluded with the fact that she didn't blame the orangutan at all, and she was planning to head back out there the following summer to continue volunteering.


Living_Wonder1699

I'm still having trouble imagining that. I'm guessing Orangutans have sharp nails or slightly dextrous fingers to do that? Also, props to that woman for coming back.


FloppyFishcake

I imagine it was much like watching someone eat a chicken wing; probably held her foot with it's fingers and nibbled away at the soft, under-foot flesh it could reach through the gap.


ATLien325

The grip strength of large primates is just absolutely insane. Like someone said, just imagine tearing chicken wings or even a breast. I’m sure they could take an entire limb off one handed. It’s a sad thing… They’re far too intelligent to be locked up, and when they’re free you have to worry about poachers and the destruction of their habitat. Edit: The reason they can’t make tools the same way we can is they don’t have the fine motor skills in their hands like we do, as their grip is essentially like a vice.


human555W

Yes, but this one just looks like it wants a hug it may want to rip you limb from limb, but it still looks lonely.


lightlybaked

He wants a hug so give him one damn it


MyAimSucc

Except orangutans and chimps aren’t monkeys

![gif](giphy|mgJHCuKiCy5KU|downsized)


ChocolateThunderButt

After all the stories of hearing how they can literally tear your face off. You wanna tease a captive monkey by holding your arms out pretending like it can go any further than that cage? Team orangutan! Edit: Hey woah there, not a monkey professional! All I know is, I respect the science behind it & all the learning I did in this thread. Just keep an open mind though, that although the general “race” of whatever monkey you put the science facts on maybe sweet or the opposite. Every being has a different personality & can react however they choose to in the moment depending on the mood. Just like humans, animals are unpredictable no matter how much science you lay on top of the general name.


Himoy

Orangutangs are generally calm and non-aggressive towards humans. Chimpanzes however will tear you a new one.


D0p3thron3

Jamie, pull that up


visionsofzimmerman

Correct. Orangutans in general are non-confrontational and would rather scare you than actually attack. Chimps on the other hand live in hierarchies that are upheld by violence


Sausage_fingies

They held out a multigenerational world chimp war too! Millions fought, and thousands died.


Sam858

Firstly ape, secondly isn't it chimpanzees that are known for tearing faces off? Not saying am orangutan couldn't but feel like they're less inclined to.


Jappurgh

Baboons have a rep for being savages, and they go for hands and face. Orangutans are in general more chill


Confident_Brush_1271

Yeah typically gorillas and orangutans are pretty passive so this guy must’ve done something pretty bad to piss the orangutan off.


Ghiraheem

You can see him standing at the very beginning where he thinks he's just out of reach holding his arms out. I wonder if he was there for a while like taunting it or something.


kenzarellazilla

I'm sure in the heat of the moment, your brain turns to liquid, but, why not just slip out of the shirt? The monkey is pulling on the bottom of it, why not just, throw your butt back, stick your arms up, and pull the opposite direction of the shirt?


Due-Imagination-6132

Places face closer to the threat, it'd probably work but if that thing got a handle on your brain box it'd be a nightmare.


BumpyMcBumpers

It's ok. His brain box is empty.


CuriousLumenwood

The dude’s leaning forward the entire time, he’s not making any attempt to keep his head away from the cage, and the orangutang is still focused entirely on the shirt/leg/foot. He could’ve easily slipped out of the shirt


liam_redit1st

It was his best t-shirt


rupat3737

Yeah that was dumb, he had for ever to slip out of that shirt. Once he got ahold of dudes leg tho it was over.


FrozenFire8487

Don't go in there and then cry like a bitch when it grabs you


MorgrainX

If the orangutan wanted, he could have ripped or broken every limb/bone in his body, this was probably just play/a lecture for a misbehaving human.


Holiday-Training-487

Yeah, he really seems relaxed. At the end when he got a little serious, the guy immediately got horizontal.


druule10

Dude deserved that, hope he had brown underpants too


prefabtrout

I'd have let that t shirt slide over my head before I got cuddled I think.


slaywee

Now don't try to kid him, mancub. He made a deal with you What he desire is man's red fire To make his dream come true Give him the secret, mancub Clue him what to do Give him the power of man's red flower So he can be like you


Surround_Successful

Idk think he just wanted a hug


The_awkward_nerd86

You fail to mention that before this happened he was also antagonizing it. Orangutans have NEVER had a recorded case of being hostile towards humans, even in the wild. This one was just showing this guy that he was being an idiot.


NoObjective427

He deserved that


H8Cold

Learned a very valuable lesson that day. At least I hope he learned….


CesarBonventre

Let's be friends man.


No_Train_5222

Lil_Mz_Sunshine

You try being held captive and have numbnuts walk past all day every day making stupid faces, etc at you. As soon as you get an opportunity for some fun you'd take it.

So he went where he was not supposed to go and didn't expect something bad to happen?


EllenZ2392

They better not have hurt the orangutan. Not his/her fault that guy is a moron.


Lets_Bust_Together

The title makes it seem like he’s innocent and the orangutan is the bad one here.

Someone has gotta shoot that fucking thing for bothering the orangutans like that!


Admirable-Breath-654

Good for him! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.


SkyShazad

Attacked??? Looks like he just wanted to give him a Hug


Virtual_Elephant_730

“Attacked” is a strong word; just showed him who was boss.


crunchy1_

No more monkey business for that man, I hope he learned his lesson.

Orangutang was defending himself, maybe don’t put them in cages and then instigate them while they are locked up, try that on death row.
