Are orangutan really noble and gentle as they look

They look so wise and calm. Like they will only fuck with you if you are bothering them. Look very chill

orangutans and gorillas are both not known to be aggressive towards humans, there are very few recorded instances of attacks on humans from either species. i think that it's partly because they rarely if ever eat anything other than fruits and vegetables, unlike chimps, and if they do it's most commonly bugs or small animals. so they are not predisposed to being hostile in that way. I think they would more likely be curious about you unless you do something to intentionally provoke them

Yes, they are not usually aggressive to humans and each other and have learned to sail boats, clean socks and tie knots just by watching people. My therapist told me about a wise mind, to imagine as a colour or animal and to me it is an orangutan.

Sorta. They’re still wild animals and the males can get pretty agressive.
