Orangutans are majestic creatures. They are fun, loving and can put a smile on someone’s face when they are having a bad day. Recently, a zoo shared a video of a 45-year-old orangutan who is one of the “dumpest orangutans” you’ll ever see.
In the video shared on Instagram by Smithsonian’s National Zoo, the orangutan can be seen having fun with other members of its family. The playful orangutan taps the head of the other orangutan when he wants to remove the cloth from his head. This goes on two more times and is too funny to watch.
Watch the video here:
The zoo wrote in the video’s caption, “At 45 years old, Bonnie is one of the dumbest orangutans you’ll ever meet! Even though her last brood was born over three decades ago – our very own Kiko – her mother instinct remains strong. She is a wonderful “aunt” and playmate to Redd, and she adores him unabashedly. Often she will make a squeaking sound to get his attention and signal her desire to play.”
They added that Bonnie knows how to “charm” the primate team. “She’ll make funny vocalizations, break out some dance moves, or knock on doors to get the caretakers’ attention. Then she’ll let them know she’s ready for treats! One of her favorites is diluted fruit juice, which the caretakers serve in a small paper cup When this vessel yields too small a portion for her liking, Bonnie takes one of her enrichment buckets and holds it against the mesh, hoping for a more generous pour!’ Smithsonian’s National Zoo continued.
