“People in Malaysia and Indonesia would say “orang hu tan” and it’s actually, it doesn’t mean orange. “Orang” is the Malay or Indonesian word for man or human, and “utan” comes from “hutan” with an “h,” which means forest. So essentially, orangutan means person of the forest.”
One of our listeners asked how orangutans would react to seeing another orangutan using the iPad when they themselves are not using it. Mr. Zimmerman explains that the orangutans all want to use the tablet when they see it. This desire could come from wanting the same attention that the caretaker gives the ape using the device.
“At the Center for Great Apes in Florida, is, when we do the enrichment sessions with Mari -- a female orangutan -- Pongo, with whom she, she lives, who is a big male, he gets jealous and wants the attention. So he comes running over and wants to use the iPad.”
Mr. Zimmerman adds that the orangutans do recognize the iPad, but to know what they are thinking is a bit more difficult.
Any mind readers out there who can tell us what a great ape is thinking? Or has someone developed an app for that, too?
