Orangutan Grabs Female Tourist's Breasts, Kisses Her At Thailand Zoo [Watch]
KEY POINTS
- The incident happened in Safari World, Bangkok, where orangutans are allowed to roam free
- The ape was seen smiling for the cameras
- A similar incident was reported in 2018
An orangutan indulged in a frisky business with an unsuspecting female tourist at a zoo in Thailand.
The woman was sitting on a swing when the orangutan walked up behind her and cupped her bosom. In no time, he was cupping her breasts with both hands and appeared to squeeze them before laying a sloppy kiss on her cheek, according to TMZ.
The outlandish interaction happened on June 27 at the controversial Safari World, Bangkok, where orangutans are allowed to roam free and participate in photo ops with visitors, while their caretakers keep a close eye on them to avoid incidents.
The primate beamed as onlookers pulled out their devices to capture his bizarre deed. The tourist appeared surprised at first but was seen giggling as the chimp continued to shower her with affection.
A similar incident was reported at the zoo in 2018. An orangutan named "Ning Nang" was captured on camera, squeezing his caretaker Sunan's left breast while sporting a wide grin. An onlooker was heard saying, "He's massaging it, he's massaging it."
"I think he knew what he was doing so he could make people laugh," Khun Fah, the employee who recorded the video was quoted as saying. "We told him off after and said don't do it again," he added, according to the Sun.
In the past, the facility has been embroiled in animal trafficking controversy. It was also reported that thousands of visitors flocked to the facility to watch apes spoofing human behavior, specifically violence, sex and alcohol, according to the Bangkok Post.
Female orangutans, dressed in bikini tops and short skirts, pretended to seduce male monkeys posing as musicians during the show and at a later point, rowdy apes appeared to drink beer and throw cans at two orangutans engaged in play-fighting.
Some visitors found the show hilarious while other witnesses felt quite the opposite. "I don't like it at all. I don't understand what is interesting in making animals behave in this violent, dirty way." said a US resident.
