@@CenterForGreatApes I've always thought of them as slow-moving, kind of lethargic creatures....well, this sure changed my mind. He's quite a handsome devil, as well!
@@LindaC616 They are really. At least in comparison to other apes, even gorillas are a bit more energetic than them. They can have their moments too though.

Average men aged 30 have a grip of 100 lbf, chimps have been measured at 441 lbf. Chimps average a bodyweight of 100 pounds mind you, this orangutan is 3x that.
That enclosure is clearly well-stocked with interactables he can enjoy, and that's a really great accomplishment. He can really move around like his species prefers to in natural setting.
@@genxx2724I'm a member of this sanctuary, it's fantastic that the almost 100 orangs and chimps have unlimited freedom to choose being inside or out ... they can even walk to their clinic! over 1 mile of elevated walkways connecting the habitats
been there, seen him 😊. we even spent a bit of time making faces at each other, Harry's a loveable guy ❤. God bless this awesome sanctuary and all who work so hard for the residents!
“Now I'm the king of the swingers Oh, the jungle VIP I've reached the top and had to stop And that's what botherin' me I wanna be a man, man cub And stroll right into town And be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeyin' around!”
So many comments on how this behaviour has 'never been seen before'... Either it's because he is in captivity orrrr we don't spend a lot of time watching Orangutans. ? When I was in quarantine I wish I had some fire hoses.
it breaks my heart- He should be back in his forest home, safe from poachers & palm farmers. He misses the real vines. This isnt cute, its so sad. He is just the king of a cage.
Imagine a 300lb strength athlete just casually doing ninja warrior.
Such an active guy. NEVER seen adult male his size this active! Happy guy. Thanks for new vids, would love more orang vids🦧
He really does have fun! :)

Y'all need to stop calling them "orang", it means human in Malay/indonesian. Orangutan is fine.
That 300-pound gentleman moves like a lightweight.
He is the king of swingers, the jungle VIP.
Swinging 300 lbs from one arm.......the grip strength is mind-boggling.
He’s probably as strong as 5 grown men
@@adkads27 I wouldn't doubt it.
@@adkads27 they are 7 times stronger than humans

@@toolame2blame391 The grip strength on this orang is around 900 pound
He is totally showing off. Which is adorable
extreme version of "the floor is lava"
Orangutans are awesome :)
We agree 100% ;)

Facts
@@CenterForGreatApes 🦍 and 🦧
2 questions, can u cut their hair a little? and why the facial bulges in older males?
Who would ever dislike such an amazing video?!?!?!?
The jealous types😂
300 pounds that DONT swing probably
or swings that aren't 300 pounds
@@alexk9642 The people who dislike have to weigh at least 100 pounds more
If orangutans were as aggressive or unpredictable as chimps, we'd be so screwed.

It was cool to see him exit at the end. He can go in and out when he pleases.

He certainly has a lot of fun! :)
I NEVER see captive adults do this. He must be very happy 😃 good to see!
He’s massive with that long beautiful hair and so much grace!
300 lbs and moving around like that. Insane strength these animals have.
Wow, he's magnificent! Thanks to Harry's caregivers for taking such good care of him!
I wish i could come see him in real life would be so AWSOME
Look at this king having an absolute ball!
Harry is SO AMAZING!! C: He reminds me of King Louie and Maurice.
Maurice who?
@@samschmit7181 Don't tell me you have not seen the Planet of the Apes trilogy. 😛
@@isaacrodriguez3903 I haven't, actually.
@@samschmit7181 I don't know what to tell you then. Just go watch Rise of the Planet of the Apes first on the Internet/DVD. 👋
I Love all the great apes but there is just something about Orangutans that put them above the rest!
He is just so happy, he made me smile. He was enjoying that, beautiful beast, love Harry ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this, must be so nice he can do what he really wants to do, sway from place to place gliding along like he can fly
Save orangutans ❤️
He’s just living his best life
By living in a cage?
@@LizardCane He would have been agressive if he was not happy. He is pretty active, there is no way he is depressed/bored/sad.
been there, seen him 😊. we even spent a bit of time making faces at each other, Harry's a loveable guy ❤. God bless this awesome sanctuary and all who work so hard for the residents!
The real King of the Swingers King Harry
Harry is absolutely amazing beautiful creature on this planet 🐒❤🎼❤❤❤❤❤
I'm guessing this is what Disney based their yeti in Disney World off of. Really really awesome.
The Sultan of Swing
At least they gave him a big and fun cage.
Aw, he's huge!❤️ Btw, I love this sanctuary!
I think, he looks fantastic. If you want him brushed, YOU go brush him. 🦧😆
He's my adopted son at the moment, so I'm a proud mama! :)
I'm so glad they have improved orangutan environments in zoos. They are tree dwellers! Hanging and swinging is what they are made for.
“Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, man cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!”
King Louie 🦧👑
He has a very Jack Sparrow face there when swinging toward the camera.
Man is his solid. Never seen one that big
Life could be dream
think this dreadlocks dude is staying in shape !!!
He is spectacular ❤ he looks out of this world
Superb 🙏
He looks like my twin, hairy redheads unite!!!!
I’m just wild about Harry!!!!!!!!
He sure is a happy guy.
King Of Swingers 🦧✨
Male orangutans have a rastafari look compared to the females. Male fur becomes ropey with age. It’s a dope look🦧🦧🦧
harry rocks!! i love to see him show off his swinging tricks :) 🦧 yay orangs!
Love this guy!
I don't blame him. It looks SO fun!!
King Louie having a blast here!
what a cute bornean orangutan good plays harry !
At 300 pounds. 😂 sheesh even I struggle to rep pull ups sometimes. These creatures are calisthenic pros
I want a bunch of orangutans in my backyard.
This is the best orangutan video on UA-cam.
Orangutans are the BEST 😁😁😁
If I could open a zoo, then I'd make the enclosures just right for each corresponding animal.
I'm 6' 2" 240,i think he'd take me in an arm wrestle 😂💪😍
He’s just hanging around.
say hi to harry for me
Harry your so darn cute
I adore Harry!❤️
He's having a great time, but is he all by himself? No companions?
At the moment he is... he arrived in March 2017 so he's a pretty new resident at the sanctuary, hopefully in the future we can make an introduction :)
@@CenterForGreatApes Thank you for your reply!
aren't these guys solitary in wild,females also,unless with a young child

“...but Harry lives in a slum”
Orangutans are the best!
He must be so fit. He doesn't need to go to the gym, his life is a gym.
Thx!🎉 watching orangutans in the middle between political propaganda and dota2 games😊😊 it helps me to relax😅
He misses the trees, or it just comes natural for them
The are HILARIOUS 😂
I love orangutans xd
How agile he his for his weight
I wish my room looked like this NO i wish i looked like Harry y e s

Not that impressive. Kyriakos Grizzly used to be able to lift himself with one hand as well.

#FreeHarry
y'know why they even have these apes in sanctuaries in the first place? they cant live on their own because their habitats fucked by humans.
@@trevor4212 Harry is freaking locked in Hogwart because of dumb oldor so we must just free him 😤
It’s a sanctuary
He's not wild. He is locked up
He’s at a sanctuary, so he probably was either actually locked up before or his home was burnt down.
Looks like he's in prison
Monke
Yeah because the poor guy doesn't have any actual trees to swing from...
Reject humanity return to monke

Needs a haircut.
it breaks my heart- He should be back in his forest home, safe from poachers & palm farmers. He misses the real vines. This isnt cute, its so sad. He is just the king of a cage.
you are so wrong, just Google "center for great apes Florida". we should all be so lucky as to have a home like this
He must be totally bored out of his mind living in that cage
he's not and his living area is HUGE ... you saw a small part. Google this place, see for yourself
