>>4476389for those who somehow dont know, pratchett was an enormous pongo fan and jungle school trustee
>>4476746aparently he didn't even know that much about them when he made the librarianhe just wanted the librarian to be transformed into something mildly humorous and settled on the Orange People because he could see the advantages of having four hands when climbing those old style library ladderspersonally I've always thought of Pongos as being more mechanically-minded than scholarly, but to each their own
>>4476385>>4476358Very good thread! Thank you OP.
>>4476893it's alrightthe birthday boy can just have the blueberries if he wants :)

:O
>>4480245are their teeth healthy? they’re so yellow
>>4480258too many 'nannersthe high life do be a double edged sword
how much good karma do i need to accumulate in this life to be reborn as a pongo?
>>4480086FUCK OFF JANE
>>4481201Dian was taken from us too soonevery part of her professional life was pure sigma>meets Leakey>destroys a giraffe fossil>demands to be sent to study gorillas>gets appendix removed so she wouldn't get appendicitis up on a mountain>meets gorillas>local warlords try to take her as a wife>convinces them to escort her to the border>she crosses it>fucking idiots>meets new gorillas>records the only wild example of masturbation in the species>locals kill gorillas>she wears halloween masks and sets off firecrackers>locals think she's a witch>locals stop killing gorillas as much>kidnaps and tortures the few who still try>still finds time to document the habits and behaviours of the gorillas>does all this while blitzed off her tits on boozethey just don't make women like her anymore
>>4476387She asked him who shaves the orangutan if the orangutan shaves everyone in town who doesn't shave themselves.
>>4481401>she also had tug-of-war with a gorilla over some infant - and won>she rescued her kidnapped dog with group of Tutsi>Attenborough is still her fanboyPong Related Question:What do people here think about Birutė Galdikas
>>4481401>gets appendix removed so she wouldn't get appendicitis up on a mountainackshually, i thought the appendicitis thing was just an excuse from leakey. he just wanted to test if she was committed enough to study orangutans by asking that she had her appendix removed. there wasn’t any actual risk of appendicitis. madlad did it for the shits and giggles.
>>4482240>orangutansgod damn i had pongos on the mind!!! obviously i meant gorillas
>>4482240yes it was a test (he also send her first to Jane Gooodall's mother and later direct to Jane for further testing)Fun thing is that Leakey was obsessed with Dian and wrote her love letter every weak>His love letters, which Dian kept with her mementos, read like a teenager’s: “I love you,” he wrote her in his almost unintelligible, sprawling scrawl, “quite simply, deeply, whether you are miles and miles away or very, very close.”>“It was lovely just seeing you,” he wrote Dian. “Even briefly and knowing that you do love as I can do deeply love you. . . . I feel we belong and so I was very very happy.”
>>4482245what the hell did his wife know about this
>>4482248His wife hated all of the TrimatesLeakey had prepared a woman (Toni Jackman) for the Bonobos, bus his wife stopped the whole thing after his death (she also cut the money for Jane, Birute and Dian)
>>4476385choose wisely
>>4482245Leakey had great taste>>4482352chocolate spread is nice for a snackbut Pongo is forever
can you believe some motherfuckers have the nerve to claim that BOSF is a fraudulent organization made of poachers?
>>4482900top left looks like she needs to lay off the nanners for a while
Me and my father sat down one evening some days ago and watched Orangutan Jungle School. He was generally pissed because he found the orangutans to be interesting creatures but kept getting sad about the loss of their environment. Then we watched a World War Two documentary later that evening that showed rather graphic images and video of corpses from battles, which he showed a a far lesser reaction to in comparison (he doesn’t really look at gory content all too often). Due to this contrast in reaction, I think I pongopilled him.
>>4483385Based. Humans (other than me) can all die so that Pongos may prosper.

>>4488010inb4 Kendra Hansen goes on a tirade how BOSF is possibly injuring these animals on purpose and accuses them of being fraudulent and "poachers in disguise"
Oh look, seems like there's a different subset of the monkey haters fixated on orangutans. Absolute degenerate.
>>4488011Oh yeah. Like fucking clockwork.

>>4496807RUDE
>>4492159go back to the dank hole you crawled out of monkeyfucker.
I wish I was a pongo, holy fuck. Imagine just being able to chill in your own stretch of forest and eat funny asian fruits all day.
>>4499447>wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up>every morning when the day is new>and after having spent the day together>hold each other close the whole night through
>>4499278Not a monkeyfucker, just linked it to showcase actual sadists in the comments. Pick your goddamn battles and shit on these fucks and the ones that try to paint BOSF as fraudulent. Though let's be real here, they're probably one and the same anyway.
>>4500164i know i shouldn’t laugh and it’s a bit mean but the idea of one of the wheelbarrows being knocked over is so funny to me… little pongos tumbling out and squealing. i can’t be the only one who finds it a little funny..
does Orang Pendek exist?
>>4476387I read in a German book that the native cook of Birutė Galdikas was raped by a pongo and the males where sexual molesting her first husband so hard that he flead Borneo.
>>4503142Is that Cahaya?
>>4503142never seen a baby pongo with such long healthy hair. love it.

so thats how it got there...

>>4509479Brian always struck me as a pongo guy desu
>>4476385Are GIGANTOPITHECUS ORANGUTANS?
>>4509568No. Just close relatives
>>4509568I wish we could find out if they had flangesmostly because I want to know where abouts that started after the pongo-homininae split or if it's actually a holdover from an earlier shared ancestorimagine the glorious apes we never got the chance to meet and their friendly faces :(
>>4510974It's like with human women where they like foods with "essential minerals".

friends,have you seen this? https://youtu.be/XoQvpK0z6q4
Pongobros, is it a pipedream to want Rambo along with her friends transported to a legit sanctuary? Them being in the wild is impossible, but anything is better than... this. Look at the little shit treating her with absolutely no respect, goddamn.
>>4513571Yeah, I hope the little guy gets reunited with his momma soon. I'm glad zoos in the US step in when something's not right. In Europe they just sort of let them die if they can't suckle properly.
>>4513779Even a zoo would be better than this
>>4476385i really really like the fact that orangutans being orange and having a name that sounds like orange is just a coincidence
>>4513779>>4513960she needs to get on the Oshine dietplenty of vegies and a house full of babies to keep active
>>4513966just like how they're called pongo and they're from the congo
>>4513960Found this old video browsing through the Sheikha's IG account and fuck, just look at these pongos. Even though they were clothed back then, there they were, still playing like children, seeming almost happy. Just look at this. Rambo's now obese, Freddie & Prince are becoming manchildren, Rosie is pushing some old fuck's wheelchair while walking bipedally, and now Benji is doomed to become the new Rambo.
there's something about them that breaks my heart. the opposite with chimpanzees where I feel rage
>>4476385I really like the orange people
>Orangutan Keagan is our superhero babysitter for Cahaya! Not only is Keagan a babysitter, but she is also Cahaya's aunt. She does a wonderful job taking care of the little one so Cahaya's mom, Sunshine can get a little downtime. One of Kegan's all time favorite enrichment items is board books or magazines. She actually will sit and “read” them to Cahaya by pointing to all of the pictures and vocalizing as Cahaya watches. The two of them will sit like that for hours together!
>>4482900I know they're technically the dumbest pongo and they spend all day eating bark, but I absolutely love the morio brothers
anyone collect Pongo pins?
>>4514763:3
>>4514760This is pongo defamation
>>4515379the little baby pongo is cute at least (even if he’s angry)
protect tree
happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful pongo moms like oshine and sunshine :]
>>4515897I only wish Rambo could be a good mother to Benji, like she should've been. But no, they keep seperating them, dressing Rambo up like some middle-aged auntie, making her feed Benji through a baby bottle(!). Frankly I'd be surprised if she still actually remembers Benji is her own child, as constant seperation is bound to do some serious psychological damage.
>>4515960sushine gave birth to three babies but didn’t have the opportunity to raise any of them until cahaya was born (a happy accident). i hope rambo and benji get rescued someday and have a happy ending like sunshine and oshine.
>>4516154I can only hope you're right anon,but there's a fat chance rich assholes will just give them up.
>>4492159I couldn't bare to watch all the way through but what the fuck going on in the comments?
>>4516382The video's posted presumably from a poaching camp, with the orphaned baby orangutan screaming in fear, sheer distrust in humans. And the comments? What you see here is a subset of monkeyfuckers who set their eyes on baby orangutans. These comments are very reminiscent to those you'd see under the "Million Pity" videos, and that's exactly why I'm against this shit.To be clear, I don't give a shit about the macaques all that much. I don't hate them, but I don't love them either. It's the torture that makes the monkeyfuckers complete and utter subhumans, and I have no doubt in my mind anymore that one of these freaks will request one of these videos starring a baby orangutan instead. Complete and utter filth.
>>4516527You definitely don't NEED to like macaques to hate animals getting tortured. I despise deer, but I would kick the shit out of someone if I found out they tortured them for fun. It's just disgusting.
>>4516566god damnI wish I could love anything anymore as much as this dude loves leaveslook at him guzzling awayface full and still he's eager to get that next one indoes he like 'nanners?yeah, he has plentydoes he enjoy watermelon?you better believe he's stocking upbut leaves?this chunky monkey can't get enough of them
What was his problem?
>>4517206PLS DO NOT BULLY BENI
>>4516812i love that you can clearly see he ATE the watermelon. the rind is what’s left!! but he’s still eating leaves. absolutely hungry lad.

need more tangy babies
>>4476385Which Foundation is better?>Orangutan Foundation International (Founder: Birutė Galdikas)or>Borneo Orangutan Survival FoundationDo they work together?
>>4519426Both are good.If you could only donate to one, you should pick BOSF. They operate Nyaru Menteng and Samboja Lestari, and have generally done more for the Pongo race than anyone. OFI is Birute Galdikas's charity. She doesn't need an introduction, but that doesn't mean she can do no wrong. Camp Leakey is more a necessary evil in a lot of ways, since it allows visitors. Kinda more like Sepilok, which it's hard to say is all good or all bad.Orangutan Outreach is probably the #1 charity you should give to, since they (its actuallt just one guy) split the money very well between the best organizations and take basically nothing off the top.
>>4519896Thanks for the long, helpful anwer.I read some bad stories about Galdikas yesterday (Reminded me of the demonizing of Fossey)https://www.reddit.com/r/orangutan/comments/gv6nta/a_cesspool_of_buffoonery_birut%C3%A9_galdikas/And National Geographic has dropped Galdikas completely (she was former Poster Girl)So i was a little worried if i could trust her foundation.
>>4519896Orangutan Outreach's only flaw is the dumb jump into the NFT/Cryptosphere, but I did actually exchange few E-mails with its founder, he was a very polite guy.Speaking of, there is one sanctuary that I'd legitimately hesitate to donate to - the Sintang Orangutan Center. As for why? Well, how about you look for yourself?https://redapes.org/projects-partners/sins-of-sintang/statement-by-jaan/
>>4520014I mean, she's still an amazing lady. She's obviously done and continues to do selfless work for orangs, and I'll still absolutely lionize her. Even if some things are a little rough around the edges.I will say there's a concerted effort on social media by known palm oil shills to discredit her entire career because she's one of the few experts who criticise the RSPO. So I'd be wary of anyone who completely trashes her online.
>>4476385Going to Borneo this summer to see these guys in the wild
>>4521417Congratulations Anon!!I'm kinda jealous desu.

Is it possible to train an orangutan to go to the store for you?
>>4527121there was one pongo in a university that learned the concept of currency, so it's certainly possiblethey'll likely just end up buying cola and ice cream tho
>>4476385I don't like when they try to be too realistic, for the same reason that I'm very wary of biopics - it colours your idea of someone/some animal in a way I'm not often willing to go along with. I'm Irish and Michael Collins was a famous man in Irish history. But when I think of Michael Collins I think of literally Liam Neeson, and his portrayal of Michael Collins in the movie. And how do I know Michael Collins was anything like that. For similar reasons I refuse to watch documentaries depicting Darwin and the like. We have Darwin's writings, that's it, why trust some corporation trying to draw audiences and push a message.
>>4528102speaking of darwin, I don't think enough people talk about how he got the idea to invent evolution after seeing a baby pongo at the zoo and (correctly) deciding it was just a small human.or, not to anthropomorphize, that we are just big pongos.
>>4528102HE
>>4528432anyone who's had to hand-rear a pongo will tell you they start off as just more interesting human babiesthey're the same level of helpless and needy, but their personalities are already shining throughthen they learn how to move around and start breaking all of your books and ashtraysthe same people will tell you the best part of hand-rearing primates is getting rid of them
>>4528750she cute
friends,as i was doing research on the lovely lady jenny, i discovered there was a movie made about her and darwin (creation [2009]). however, i'm having difficulty finding who the orangutan actor was for jenny. i'd be really curious to know where that orangutan is now. does anyone know?
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1369848615000370posting this again for anyone interested in pongo history
>>4530131A reduced crew flew to Thailand to film the scenes with Jenny the orangutan. These scenes were filmed on location in the jungle and at film studios. The orangutans featured in CREATION are legally owned and live in captivity, some being captive born and bred and others rescued. The money from their appearances in entertainment goes back in to enrichment programme for NHPs (Non Human Primates).All the animals featured in CREATION, both exotic and domestic, were sourced and had their welfare protected by one of the most highly regarded animal and primate consultants in the world, Rona Brown.
>>4530131This really is a crazy timeline.
