- If you thought the Lyre Bird was a good mimic, you're in for a treat. This clip will bring your heart to your mouth as you wonder at how close orangutan behaviour is to our own. From the BBC documentary series, Life of Mammals.
This is a commercial channel from BBC Studios. Service & Feedback www.bbcstudios...
Imagine trekking through the rainforest, coming to a river, and seeing an orangutan paddling along in a canoe lool
that'd be hilarious.
And singing "Ooh, I wanna be like you..."
i would think i'd stepped into a portal that leads to a distant future
This mummy's and her baby here she try to used tools very smart Bless you all thank you for up date ,
im gonna throw a poke ball
That’s hilarious how she holds the nail with her mouth like a seasoned carpenter.
because he copying what he saw, what he saw is the carpenters
I'm beginning to wonder if she built her own canoe.
It's not only hilarious, it is also amazing!
I am, however, worried about the dangers of sawing, especially with the baby's fingers so close.
then completely doing the hammering wrong. Talk about false expectations lol
I just love how David was sitting there all confused yet amazed while the female orangutan hammered the nail flat into the wood with the wrong side of hammer.
Lol
Love his narrations. Always on such interesting subjects. ♥️👍♥️
ya lol
The apprentices have to start somewhere!
What is the difference between a human and an Orang-Outang ?
The human does not hold her young baby against her chest when using a saw
1:29
why is this part so funny
the way the orangutan awkwardly slaps the nail with the top of the hammer, and then the cut to Attenborough's utterly _bewildered_ expression
I was already laughing hard but your comment made it funnier still 😂😂😂
2:27
Orangutan: *Attempts to saw a board with the saw at a 20-degree angle*
David: *Visible admiration*
I mean show me a dog or a cat who can use a saw like a kid with Downs and I'll be impressed.
*b i g b r a I n*
I mean, it's great that Ms. Orangutan learns by just imitating, but this guy really should give her some pointers. We humans get training, why shouldn't she?
@@mattrogers5188this guy???? Research David Attenborough!!!
@eliteteamkiller319 Not a good comparison cause even if dogs and cats do have the understanding to saw, they won't be able to cause they don't have hands to do such an action.
Sir Attenborough makes me feel more than human, he makes me feel as though I'm a part of the world I live in. He is a true teacher and a hero to me.
It’s actually Sir David
@@maryrosekent8223 who gives a shit
@@maryrosekent8223 😂😂😂
Yes. Also beautiful how we’re really the same kind as these orangutans and apes and just part of the great mother nature. The only real difference between us and apes is that we use complex language to communicate thoughts and ideas. Other than that we are practically the same.
He’s awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️
1:32 His face is priceless, you can almost hear the confusion radiating from him.
more like shock and awe
*visible confusion*
was really expecting more to be done with that nail
A pity WE can’t hold a plank of wood between our feet!
DIWhy?!
This is probably how the aliens feel watching us do astrophysics
real
"Look! They're just like us! How cute"
mfw an alien pre-schooler can do supersymmetric string theory as well the best human physicist
no, development of intelligence can not go to infinity. There are propably some statistical/physical barriers limiting.You can not make some sense even with unlimited intelligence if there is not any.
It's awe-inspiring. The mother learned by mimicing humans. Now she is teaching her two offspring. Eventually, they will teach their offspring. In a few generations, you have orangutan general contractors.
Brandon Gary Hahahahaha...!
*I LOVE YOU DOCTOR ZAIUS!*
Hahaha
Yeah yeah. Until those bankers ruined em with mortgage agreement.
ua-cam.com/video/toL1tXrLA1c/v-deo.html
i love how hes just sitting next to them and theyre so unbothered. its so chill and nice like theyre just hangin
Yeah they are pretty chill creatures by nature, and that particular mother spent some time with humans in a rehabilitation center (where they try to get the orangutans to learn how to be orangutans, because human kidnappers tried to make them into little humans to put on a show for their friendss).
i am quite sure its green screen lmfao
@@loucipher7782 Nah, you really can chill right next to an orangutan. They are pacifists.
@@fransthefox9682 Not really, but they're definitely more chill than Chimpanzees and even Gorillas. Pretty powerful still, I wouldn't want to get too close to an adult male orangutan. Females are so much stronger than humans too, but male adults are highly territorial and can easily dismember a person.
@@TheCyberSpidey Yes, but just because they can, that doesn't mean they will.
1:05 Imagine if you are just hiking and you see something like that.. amazing!
YuriFineart and they say hello
heheheheehehe good 1
Dude sprint if it's coming towards you.
A Giant glowing food for thought sign would be weird
Yeah a big floating bright yellow text that says "Food For Thought", and then vanishing in thin air. No one would believe you :(
David Attenborough has been a gift to the world for decades. What a great man.
0:23 She can wash her hands more properly than many of people out there
She can now protect herself from COVID.
Yes 🤣
@@VAMR-vc7xg but she doesn't have face mask :-D
@@Pidalin I am sure she can put on a facemask and wear it better than most humans. In fact, she probably designs and sells her own. :)))
@reef1963 what are you on about? Pretty sure she wash her hand everyday.
1:38
I find it hilarious how she gets up and casually steals the wooden plank that the other orangutan was holding, and afterwards he just shuts down and stares at the ground with a blank confused/lost facial expression
She has a deadline
I bet he was saying “Bruh” in his mind when his mom stole his wooden plank 😂
I MISSED THAT AHAHAAHAHAA
When your mom is a gamer too and kicks you off the Xbox so she can play Day 1 release first. ;)

Did I just see an orangutan canoeing?
Not only that. She's actually run some river taxi service.
Actually that orang utan is a grab driver on the Forest
Its scary isn't it? The dawn of the planet of the apes is real. hahaha...
Her airboat was in the shop
@@cukabakso3818 the rise
The cut to David when it's hammering the nail never fails to make me laugh
This man has shown us, taught us so many things about our planet... May he live to be a 120, in good health.
Unbelievable intellect. Once I seen one driving a golf cart I was convinced they were gifted creatures
You sure it wasn’t Trump ?
Dang this video was too short.
Your profile picture says so too XD
1:28 so much meme potential

I think I once seen it around - still burst out in laughter this time again
Underrated comment
Sorry didn't get it, please educate me.
@@wildinside2821 The orangutan failed to hammer the nail into the wood correctly and Attenborough expression was a funny reaction to that

David, I've been watching you since I was a child - I'm 78 now & you're still my hero. Thank you for all the wonders you've shown .me. 🤗💞❣️
1:41 Poor guy is left speechless.
@big chungus Didn't think these kinds of comments would be in these kinds of videos
@big chungus sus
@big chungus shut up
when u told ur mom ur not done with the computer but she takes it anyway
David's expression is priceless XD
No it's not. I'd price it at about $23.75.
@@keekwai2
I'm sorry sir $23.75 is for VISA only, not Mastercard.
come on surely I'm not the only one who had a bit of a giggle when that orangutan started sawing that wood lol.
After a few Bruce Lee movies they'd be chopping it in half aw
It would be more funny if he threw away the hand saw and picked up a power saw.
That orangutang is more productive than the entire US Congress.
This is ridiculous levels of intelligence. The orang-utan hasn't been taught how to do this, simply watched and picked it up. Orangutans in the wild are dying out so fast yet humans don't care. This video shows how similar we are, and more than that how beautiful these animals can be. Why don't governments protect them the same way we protect our own species?
used_tissue Hunting oragnutans is completely illegal in every part of the world. You're part of the reason why humans have become a disgusting race and we've lost our vision of the true place in life
used_tissue It's obvious you didn't even watch this video, because it shows otherwise. If I had the choice to save the average human (like you) or an orangutang, I would choose the orangutang any day.
Humans are no different other than that they destroy the world at the same time.
I love how these guys, like you said, are dying out fast but humans don't care, but, groups of people in third world countries get sick and everyone cares, why?

i speak truth....i never intend to "insult"
goodsire
yeah well what are you going to do ? stop me?
In fact, by the time you read this comment, ive already organised myself for another hunting trip.
Merry Christmas
Attenborough bring Orangutans to CERN:
"You might think this Orangutan is smashing particles together as some sort of circus trick, not so, she has seen others doing it and is imitating it."
"This old lady, loves splitting atoms"
“Her son, born at ATLAS, is also interested.”
😂😂😂😂best comment ever
I read it in his voice too
I love orangutans, they are so calming
Sir David Attenborough is a wonderful gift to nature television.
Sir David Attenborough is a wonderful gift to nature.
Why dows he pronounce pce the word orangutan as oran-utan? It would be one thing if we were talking about a relatively new species, or a species with a complex name tshat is difficult to pronounce, but orangutans are very special amazing species of animals and we have so much in common with them that it’s just crazy to me how he pronounces their name!
Love the pfp
I love how close he is without her caring.
Because he's friendzoned.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 Monki be that way
at 1:30 to 1:34, you could just tell, he was thinking "goddamn, thats not how you use a hammer."
lol. made me laugh.
My professor watching me fails his class
The Student Official 🤣🤣🤣
I find it frightening and beautiful all at the same time. Makes me want to appreciate the qualities that make us human in the first place.
It might be a little scary when they first take over, but soon we'll learn to appreciate our orangutan overlords
Sir David, I command you to live for another 1000 years.
The vibe makes me shed tears. Like something I lost forever. The world could never be the way it was
It makes me so sad that these amazing creatures are disappearing. We HAVE to save them. The thought of losing any of the great apes is horrible.
Yes. We should treat them like we do ourselves. We are also part of the great apes and its a family we should look after. Just like the entire earth is.
No we don't. To me, there's too much human suffering going on for us to deal with before even starting to invest on animals.
Orangutans are the cutest ones, the best climbers, and the least often violent of the three species of great apes.
@Nosamu Igbinnosa probably because of apathetic humans like you
@@vranime3772 How am I apathetic for saying that existing human suffering takes more priority than literal animals?
I am glad that these wonderful animals have been rescued from captivity and returned to the wild. It's such a beautiful sight to see the orangutan mum paddling through the countryside with the baby in the canoe.

Something of bit of poetry. As the animals watch us work with such awe and interest, we peer back at them with the same amount of awe and interest, when they do the same.
iamabigfatbutt Hey thats good
If we only looked at each other back and forth that’ll be awesome, instead of eating each other.

Ok champ
Just proves that we are the same kind
According to data Orangutans have an average IQ of 78 which is actually higher than the state of Florida
Lol
LMAO🤣
Don't I know it! I live in S Fla
😆😆😆
ffs :D
Lets take a moment and appreciate the speaker .. he is legendary 👌
David?
"Orangutan" means "man of the forest" in indonesian language.
Yup! "Orang" and "Hutan."
and then he said: "...special groups of orangs...."
@@neverbeefamous lol
kalo orang harus nya people of the forest
Is that what it means? I thought they're orangutan because they're color orange.
His is a genius Sir David Attenborough and the great apes are marvelous to Orangutans.
1:42 Her son is like 'mum I was doing just fine >:('
I know they're supposed to be intelligent and stuff but the DIY reminds me of that picture of Patrick with the board nailed to his head xD
Ahahahahahaha!
but at this rate patrick will be able to built a complete house in 20000 years
Well, let's hope they don't get that creative.
You have to start somewhere! 😁
Attenborough is without a doubt my favorite person in the world. He has shown us so much and it will be awful when we lose him.
Came after seeing an orangutan driving a golf cart video.
Now I'm overwhelmed! How fascinating, intelligent these Orangutan are!
They're so smart! I went to the zoo to draw animals before and they sat and watched me draw!! I showed them my drawings when I was done and they pointed at the pages and stuff. They're so clever!!
Wow really?!!Their level of intelligence is like ours!
@@DavidEddings2526 yeah! You can really see the intellect in their eyes. Its a shame they're in the zoo at all... but conservation is important
@Lanna’s Missing link agreed and did you know every second orangutangs die due to deforestation,pailm oil producters etc! What a shame..
@@DavidEddings2526 aw thats horrible... i think the worst part is you can't really blame the poor workers who are just trying to feed their families... the only way to fix that problem is to pull people out of poverty and teach them about the wonders of the habitats in their areas
@Lanna’s Missing Link you do have a point,we just have to tell them where the right place is to do this behaviour.
When you're single and try to fix things when you're drunk.
after broke up with girlfriend LOL
Jovi Lim 🤣🤣🤣
What's being single got to do with it? If you had a partner and were sawing or hammering drunk would you better at it?
@@lauralishes1 oui car elle peut dire stop pour vous ^^

1:01 That is too beautiful that I'm crying
When I look at Orangutans...I feel like hugging them.
They are awesome
Me too. When I see them, I also feel like teaching them a new trick or two.
I wanna teach one to play guitar, imagine an orangtan band 🤣🤣
I been watching this guy since I'm just a lad. Now I'm already a middle age guy and still idolized Attenborough for his work.
Mr. Attenborough, I just came across this piece of film that you made some time ago; the first second I saw it, it took my breath away -- they and we are "so close"
1:29 When you skip the tutorial
🤣🤣🤣
It is great to see my cousins once in a while.
Just a bigfoot who has access to the internet I thought you were the real one for a sec, and I got excited lol
when you see how intelligent these creatures are, it becomes all the more disgusting knowing how many of them are kept in cages for entertainment
True
I very agree
@@daenksyahsyah610 ,.
No that's illegal, they are endangered species
If you think this thing is intelligent I guess you don't have very high standards in your family tree
Orangutans are the best of all the monkeys. They are calmer, more reasoned and gentler. They are the wisest of the monkeys and the most thoughtful.
They're apes, not monkeys.
Apes! Ook
I've seen laborers who couldn't handle a saw that well.
it's funny bc the make up of an orangutans muscles don't allow it to use tools as precise as us
thank you for pointing that out; never thought about it. what if we were to design tools that better suit other great apes?
Well Laborers shouldn't be using a saw anyways! They should keep to fetching things and moving things for the Joiners.
primates usually have more fast-twitch muscles whereas humans have more slow-twitch muscles allowing for more precise movements.
pretty sure it's because she's also holding the wood with her feet
"The biggest thing we share is our brains"
*Orangutan tries to saw through a metal plank*
That brought me to tears. Thank you.
I couldn't help not to burst into laugh when he wa like "she loves DIY" and then she's hitting the nail lying flat :D They act like a toddles, absolutely lovely

1:01 look at that shot. that could be in almost any movie and be the most memorable imagery.
These creatures are probably just as fascinated at how primate like we are. Ever thought of that?
I just have the mental image of a nature documentary from the opposite perspective and have the apes discussing the odd almost primate like behavior of humans
Interesting insight. I wonder what they think we are? Maybe what we think of aliens perhaps?
@@stephenryan7855 They usually recognize the morphological similarities, them along with gibbons (lesser apes). Now gorillas probably can, but they're also very aggressive and might charge you. Chimpanzees, well, I they can certainly live with us, but I'm not too familiar with these kinds of interactions. All I know about is that some of them tolerate humans watching them.
@@eliteteamkiller319 Aren't Gorillas generally peaceful? I thought it was chimpanzees that were more prone to violence. Of course Gorillas can be aggressive too if they feel threatened or disrespected but seem to prefer peace otherwise.
@@eliteteamkiller319 Chimpanzees are actually the most dangerous out of them and Gorillas.

We should not be in awe of how human like these wonderful creatures are, but there are aspects of their that perhaps us humans need to try to adapt from them, such as their kindness and patience to their offspring.
Somebody teach the orangutan that it is bad parenting to saw with a baby hanging on to you! Lol jk. This is truly amazing.
Love your comment!
It's incredible seeing them in person. They're so human-like.
Animals can think and reason. Imagine if they could tell us. Yet we see them act on the outside. Sometimes I wonder: how do their inner thoughts sound? Perhaps as a child? Such an incredible universe we live in.
they can..check videos on koko the guriella
They don't understand sign language in the sense we do, though.
It's hard to explain since it involves complicated linguistics and I'm not a linguist, but safe to say is that while a monkey can learn three signs that mean "banana", "give" and "me", it has no way of understanding that the three signs need a specific order for it to make sense.
Language in the proper sense is still something that only humans possess, as far as we know.
Not all animals can think and reason. Far from it, most aren't sentient and don't have any sense of reason or thought.
+SquigPie No. It has been well documented thst several species have language. We simply don't understand it, and vice versa. They fully understand it and use it to communicate. Not all language is written or spoken. And there is much out there humans just don't understand
Language, by definition, is understandable. You simply have to decode the linguistics of it, and viola!
Orcas have the most fascinating languages, and amazingly they differ from pod to pod. Releasing orphaned Killer Whales back into the wild is notoriously difficult because, unless you know which pod they originally came from, they won't understand their new friends. :-(
But the difference between humans and animals is that they do not, maybe cannot, articulate abstract concepts. metaphysics allows us to create systems of thoughts which regulate our actions, for example: logic, which might teach us what we should do if we want certain outcomes, or causality, which helps us understand the consequences of our actions in a way which lets us harness activity with a far-off goal in mind (like building a house).
Linguists don't know why we have a greater complexity of language, but they do agree that animals do not have any language as comprehensive as ours.
They probably cause themselves less problems by not having complex language, though!
Sir David's enthusiasm is so infectious.
1:33 that looks hahaha

Fascinating! It's really hard to believe that our future ape overlords had such humble beginnings.
