They love to draw and play games, younger ones love technology but the elderly um…not so much. Can you guess what it is? No. Okay, I’ll give you a few more clues. They’re furry, orange and they live in Miami. Still can’t guess? Fine, I’ll tell you. It is the orangutan. In Miami's Jungle Island zoo, the orangutans act just like real people. They even use iPads and other forms of technology as humans do. Because the apes have learned a lot about the body, trainers can understand what is wrong much more quickly. Also, although the trainers have to hold the iPads, the orangutan is showing the trainer that they know what is it and what it means which makes their intelligence one-hundred times more amazing.
I
think that if trainers keep developing these animals skills, they will be just
like us. However, there would be still so many questions to answer:
· -What would they do if they were like
humans?
· -Would they be like us or revel against
human kind?
- Would the communication even help us at all?
There are so many questions, and you never know what
could happen but with time and research anything could be possible. Even these
orangutans could learn to communicate with the human race and the world could
change forever.
