BR 2-17: Orangutan Language

Like humans, orangutans are members of the scientific group called "primate". (p.2)

I read this book, and then I think that orangutans are very intelligent. Orangutans are so much like humans. And in Malay languages, 'orangutans' actually means 'person of the forest'. Orangutans can understand our words. There are people who study the orangutans' minds and how orangutans think. They are trying to develop orangutans' language skills. Orangutans have individuality, and orangutans learn languages in different ways. I really think orangutans are wonderful, and they really similar to humans.

I think chimpanzees are very wonderful as same as orangutans. I always watch one TV show every Saturday. The TV show is "Shimura zoo." In this book, a chimpanzee that called Pan-kun is appear. Pan-kun can understand human languages. Mr. Shimura say "Come on!", and then Pan-kun run toward Mr. Shimura. And Pan-kun often ran on errands. He can shop. His ability is great.
