I think Orangutans, more than any other ape, seem to have the ability to trigger the uncanny valley sense in a person. Like they have just enough human-esque behaviors and manorisms to weird you out when you see them come from a human-shaped, but clearly non-human body.

The thing is maybe some orangutans think the same way about us! Awkward all around.

I think so. They look like an unhinged person basically. Like someone who just let themselves go, hair is wild, and then have an evil smile.

Stuff like this makes me think they shouldn't be in zoos, but if they weren't in zoos, they'd likely be poached to extinction by now. :\

They are making a comeback thanks to preserves (not just zoos). :)

They are not as critically endangered as some of our other primate cousins, and I agree, they don't belong in zoos.

To me the most uncanny primates are the golden langurs

Their expressions and eyes, not to mention their face, is eerily human-like.

Orangutans can easily bench press and dead lift more than record breaking Olympian humans.

Lucky that dude didn't have an arm and leg torn asunder. Fucking loser. Deserved.

This is all great apes though

I've only seen gorillas at the zoo but they absolutely have some human like qualities

Orangutans are smarter and have a greater sense of empathy.

humans are supposed to be more closely related to chimps. But maybe orangutans are smarter than chimps. Iirc they are much less violent.
