Wild animals can be so cute in captivity.

Noob thinks monkey staring at woman’s breast is newsworthy?

Had a Dutch friend who used to go the monkey exhibit and toss the males oranges that he had rubbed the juice from a can of tuna on - just to watch them get excited and start to (as you described it) ‘grab their “willy-winkies” in front of the mothers and young children.

He would laugh and laugh and laugh every time he related the story.

Orangutans (I believe means “men of the forest”) are not monkeys. That the two women sensed some sort of primal bond, is no reason to disparage either individual or either species.

One liners are the norm here anymore.....as well as sensationalistic articles you’d find in tabloids....just seem s to be the mindset of the generation.

Fascinating story. There are still stories of “Forest Men” in areas of Java/Indonesia that are believed to be an unknown species of organgutans...that walk upright.

Orangutan are the only great ape that I would rather be locked in a room if I had to be locked in a room with a great ape.

Gorillas would be a close second, with chimps being dead last.

Chimps are super unpredictable, gorillas are fine if you don’t make eye contact.

Even Orangutans think life is precious.

Several years ago I took my kids to the York animal park in Maine. I thought the kids would get a kick out of being able to pet the loose ranging animals. There were goats, deer, lamas and I don’t remember what all else. My okdest child was 3 and the baby was under six months. Baby was in the carriage and the other was by my side. We were standing near the little hut where you could buy handfulls of animal feed. It was only a few minutes as the animals came on their own and began to gather up around us. As they began crowding in..and there were a lot of them..perhaps 70 or more..i began to get scared. As a child, I’d been to this petting zoo before and never saw this kind of behavior.

Finally, I looked in panic at the feed hut to the lady inside. She came out, cut through the animals and quietly asked me if I was breast feeding. I said yes, so she told me..pick up the baby. I did, and the animals immediatly began backing off. It was amazing! The lady told me that the animals could smell the milk and it wasn’t something they were accustomed to with humans. Therefore, they became curious.

Breastfeeding is something that most all mammals do, and it is truly a special thing for moms and babies world wide. It draws moms and babies into a very deep bond. As a former breastfeeding mom, I can tell when babies are breastfed no matter how cleverly the moms disguise it. It shows in the babies in various ways.

My children also breast fed their kids and so have my granddaughters. My grandsom was very disappointed when his wife opted not to nurse their baby. He knew how special it was, and he knew how to teach her!

I do wish more people were breast fed. And I wish more men knew how to conduct themselves..and women too. Women can become extremely hostile toward nursing in general. My fatherinlaw was the one who helped me. He himself was breastdfed and so had grown up around it so when I experienced a problem or two, he knew exactly what needed to be done. He also grew up on a dairy farm which helped. Cattle can have problems too when they are heavy milkers.

Im so glad for the young lady’s experience with the orangutan. They are one of my favorites.

Jeezuz...if you go to the article, you can clearly see the reflection of a GUY in the window taking the video. Just because they say partner doesn’t automatically mean gay/lesbian.
