      Heck yeah. These animals, more so the orangutan can establish friendships. Scientifically it’s “social bonding” or “strengthening social networks” but is human friendship really any different, apart from us humans doing things like going to the mall together or taking a road trip?
      I also like how the monkey and orangutan establish boundaries without ending contact or getting violent. Slowly gaining trust.

    This often happens between species where competition for food isn't a concern, and there isn't rivalry for mating purposes, etc. Nice to see. Especially the grooming, which, as the video says, 'cements' the friendship.

    So cute! And it's more common than you think - even happens in the wild, somewhere on UA-cam there's footage of a wild baby orangutan playing in the trees with a young gibbon. This probably marks the start of the maternal instinct in this young female orangutan, which is the strongest of all the great apes.

    How magical, mystical and beautiful is nature. The NEED not just want, but the innate desire for affection, love and the need for touch and companionship. Life is amazing if we'll just sit back observe and admire it for what it is.
