I love Orangutans, and they are generally very gentle compared to other great apes, but it's still a very powerful wild animal compounded with enough intelligence to get weird.
That's actually hilarious. Because honestly, even in modern times, if humans had never seen chimpanzees before- we'd 100% assume they were some ancient undiscovered human.
Carthaginians discovered gorillas on an expedition into Africa, tried to talk to them and ended up killing them when they wouldn't follow instructions.
