I have no idea how this thread will go. I imagine it will probably be quickly buried, but realized we don't really have a general thread for this kinda thing. Just wanted to share this video of a baby orangutan being born. Amazing. I've seen various other kinds of mammals give birth, but never a great ape. I'm impressed by how self sufficient the mother is (though I really shouldn't be) and the way she uses her hands.

Not gonna lie, I laughed when she licked her fingers as if she had just finished something delicious

Anyway, post some cool videos or articles if you come across them

Great video. Here's another good one of a monkey wanting his head scratched by a girl.
