In this video we watch a young female orangutan and her baby decend upon the feeding platform in the orangutan reinsertion centre. Basically, many of the young mothers cannot find enough food in the jungle to support both them and their young, so they will often come to this platform to recieve an extra bite to eat. The apes that come here were often raised in captivity. The wild orangutans and the males do not take advantage of the free meals.

Ever wonder how orangutans do it?

Sooooo.... The title of this video pretty much describes what it is about. I have slipped this one in here, despite the fact that it did become rather embarassing to watch these two mate and film it at the same time... They can be so like humans! Well, except for hanging in the trees while the do it.
