Of all the apes I’ve always thought orangutans would be the ones that were the smartest. Now maybe thats just because I watched Robin hood at a young age but I wouldnt put it past those bastards to just be like oh shit the humans are coming, look dumb.
I saw a video one time of a wildlife photographer, shooting Orangs in the hot jungle. They seemed to understand what he was doing (they understand photography?), so while one was distracting him with poses, another would sneak up from behind and steal water bottles out of the photographer’s bag.
The poor guy was trying to shoot, while guarding the bag between his legs, and the other Orang was still trying grab bottles. It was hilarious.

Which version of Robin Hood has an orangutan?
Damnit. Definitely thinking junglebook.
Easy mistake to make, considering they recycled animation!
I always get the two confused- they might be thinking of The Jungle Book
He was the smart/wise one in the Planet of the Apes remakes
