The ingenuity of an orangutan to ask for food from a zoo visitor: "the game has passed"

Primates are known to have incredible intelligence. And if anyone had any questions about it, watch the video we shared today. This is the curious case of an orangutan who decides to ask a visitor to the zoo where he is for a treat, doing everything possible to get it.

It all happened when the woman, who was carrying a backpack, saw that the animal was pointing at her. Faced with this unexpected situation, the visitor began to remove her personal items one by one, trying to discover what interested the primate.

After showing the orangutan a treat, it points at it to make it clear that it is interested. Immediately afterwards, and to the surprise of many, the primate decides to guide the visitor to a side area of ​​the enclosure with one objective in mind: for the woman to pass the candy through the gate.

Unfortunately, the protagonist cannot share her treat through the gate, so the orangutan looks for a new solution. The primate, focused on getting the snack from him, grabs a stick and scales the fence to try to insert it through the upper slot. A whole strategy that has left visitors speechless.

The tiktoker Mike Fajardo (@mikefajardo_) has been in charge of showing this incredible scene on networks. The video has gone viral, accumulating more than 22 million views and all kinds of reactions from users who have been surprised to see the orangutan's abilities: "They are smart and they just don't want to pay taxes" or "We want them to give the candy, he deserves it ”, have been some of the most popular comments.
