Snake Surprise

Not That Mike The Other Mike

To survive, orangutans must learn to be scared

For people, a fake snake can be a funny joke, but for these orangutans being raised in a Orangutan Jungle School, it’s a vital lesson in fear. You see, orangutans aren’t naturally afraid of snakes; they have to be taught or they could be at risk when released into the wild. That’s when the old rubber-snake-under-the-blanket trick comes in handy. One look, and the students retreat into a group hug, which somehow protects them by… erm… Look, it’s their first lesson, okay?

They’ll get the hang of it, Andrew Y.

    After dogs, orangutans are my favorite animal in the whole world. My heart just melts every time I see them, especially the babies (nearly all of these little guys have probably been orphaned, which is why the humans have to teach these lessons instead of their mamas). ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
