Wild orangutan seen healing his wound with a plant

Many years ago I stopped by a zoo in France, with my 7mo son.<p>I was pushing him in the stroller while he was napping, and at the orangutan exhibit, one came up to the window and gestured towards the stroller.<p>I turned the stroller to face the window, and removed the hood.<p>The orangutan blew my son a kiss, waved then went back to the otherside of its enclosure.<p>Made me rethink what I knew about animal intelligence.

Obviously orangutans are much smarter as a species, they are know to pass down knowledge&#x2F;behaviors, including tool usage, down generations. But there could be more to this behavior. A dog instinctively knows to eat grass when they have stomach issues and Alaskan Bears eat certain plants to expel parasites after hibernation. How do they know? Zoopharmacognosy is a fascinating subject that needs more research.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Zoopharmacognosy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Zoopharmacognosy</a>

One of the most adorable TV shows I’ve seen is “Orangutan Jungle School” about the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation’s orangutan rescue&#x2F;rehabilitation&#x2F;release program. The series is available on a number of streaming services and many clips on YouTube.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;orangutanjungleschool.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;orangutanjungleschool.com&#x2F;</a>

Did that self-administered plant-based treatment have an orangutan-FDA EUA authorization? What does the Cochrane study on wound-treatment with leaves say? Was there publication bias on successful trials of wound leaf treatment? Was the funnel plot of orangutan wound-leaf treatment studies asymmetric or symmetric? Was the relative risk less than 1? Is the orangutan p-hacking (were there 19 other orangutans who applied the same species leaf to their wound with no effect, and this orangutan kept them from the BBC&#x27;s cameras)? If the orangutan was basing its experiment off animal-model studies of _homo sapiens_, how well should it expect those studies to carry over to Pongo pygmaeus? Did a supplement manufacturer fund the orangutan&#x27;s trial? Wasn&#x27;t it dangerous for the orangutan to self-administer based on some non-peer-reviewed preprint (s)he probably read online somewhere? Why were preprints allowed to be viewable by it, given the hazard of self-administering that viewing posed? The orangutan should have left its wound untreated until it, its peers, all the orangutan organizations offering standard-of-care wound treatments, and their regulators had completed analyzing all the results of all the independent clinical trials in one comprehensive meta-study. (If there had been any clinical trials undertaken while the meta study was being analyzed, then make that two comprehensive meta-studies, and hope they don&#x27;t result in a tie. If the leaf treatment worked, we wouldn&#x27;t be calling it a leaf, we would call it medicine.<p>Pssh total pseudoscientist orangutan stuck in some institution-distrusting online subculture bubble.

Let&#x27;s make sure that we ban that plant, immediately.

It would be nice if they could work out what this &quot;medicinal&quot; tree is and start mass-producing this paste because that looks like some serious healing going on there! ... or perhaps orangutans are just way better at this sort of thing that human are? I recently tripped up running and had a much smaller cut (compared to the apparent missing-chunk-of-flesh this orangutan had) on my knee that took several weeks to fully heal.<p>I&#x27;d pay for this paste!

In the South of Brazil, Howler monkeys have been found to chew a plant and put it in wounds.<p>The plant was then analysed and it really has healing properties.

It&#x27;s interesting for sure, but the mystery is how he gained that knowledge. Is he just repeating what he&#x27;s seen humans do or his ancestors?

Dogs eat grass when they need to throw up.

I know I&#x27;m humanizing Rakus here but I&#x27;d like to think that, when he kisses the tree towards the end of the video, he does so out of gratitude for helping him. :-)

That&#x27;s pretty cool! Perhaps genetic or innate memory is how he knew what to do? Sort of like dogs eating grass when they are sick?
