New research reveals big differences in the role models of young male and female orangutans.
Orangutans are closely related to humans. And yet, they are much less sociable than other species of great apes. Previous studies have showed that young orangutans mainly acquire their knowledge and skills from their mothers and other conspecifics (members of the same species). Social learning in orangutans occurs through peering or sustained observation of other members of the species at close range.
Researchers studied peering behavior in young orangutans at two research stations on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, observing more than 3,100 individual peering situations in 50 young animals over a period of around 13 years.
