Looks like he’s a larger perhaps older male. Might’ve gotten agitated at the lesser one getting food from his podium and meant to remove competition for more cabbages.

There's multiple reasons, from lower mass leading to fewer injuries when falling to different shapes being more robust.

Possibly the biggest one relevant to us is that human bodies aren't built to take a fall. We are great apes, but we descended from the trees a long time ago, and our body shape has changed dramatically to adapt to our vertical, ground-running lifestyle. We are incredibly well adapted to run long distances, actually ludicrous distances by animal standards. We're persistence predators; before we invented sharp sticks we killed things by just running behind them until they died of exhaustion, then carrying the corpse back home.

Also it should be noted that that fall probably did hurt the orangutan, but what's he gonna do? Lie down and whine about it? Most animals even when badly hurt will try to get back up immediately because injury often means danger, predators, and you gotta get your ass out of there and lick your wounds somewhere safe.

We tend to show our pain, as social animals if one of us is hurt, hopefully someone will help. If you are not as social as us, showing pain or injury just means preditors will single you out.

It should be noted that persistence hunting has little to no actual evidence. It’s just caught on on the internet and it sounds plausible so people share it.

Orangutan is actually a combined word :

Orang = people
Utan = forest

Orangutan = Forest people / people of the forest.

I’m sorry but I really cannot explain it to you adequately, nor do I have the patience to do so. However, I would highly recommend reading into it! A lot of people assume that persistence hunting was something humans regularly engaged in and had high success with even though it’s really only hypotheses. Such is not the case.

Im gonna make this simple since you gave me a "fuck you" answer.

We had to chase on foot, we had pointy sticks (eventually as we where not born with the knowledge to make them) and we are still here as a species so what we did must have worked.

Since you have no evidence other than (not sure it happened on the regular) suggests it did happen some times AND it doesn't explain how we hunted without weapons.

So imma stick with video evidence rather than a couple studies without evidence because they cannot find evidence of people running (not suprising really).

Also hunters likely had to chase prey to corner it before throwing spears or chase a wounded animal, so yes chasing would have been a large part of hunting, like treking through a forest looking for something to shoot.

Not sure how you got that out of my answer. I openly stated that I am incapable of telling it to you properly and that I lack the proper patience to do so. I was just suggesting that you look into it because I find it pretty interesting, and I feel that most people have some misconceptions on the topic. Cheers though.

Edit: Let me be clear I’m not saying persistence hunting is not real. I’m just saying that the idea most people get of simply running behind an animal for a long time is not exactly the right idea.

Facts? This is the internet! [Insert T'Challa "we don't do that here" meme]

Thanks for reminding me to check my knowledge before regurgitation. I first heard of persistence hunting in a college class but there's no more reason (well, not much more anyway) to believe some random college professor than the internet without actual research :-)

A 12 foot fall likely wouldn't phase an animal that spends half it's life mid-air swinging from trees hundreds of feet taller, and that has enough bone density and strength in its legs and arms to tear a human apart.

Homie is fine, the way he fell was just comical as hell lol

A lot of primates have a hierarchy. The higher on the hierarchy the earlier you get food. If the primate was lower on the hierarchy and got food first there can be violence, but they are also smart so it could be jealousy or just being a dick.

Sharpening sticks for food almost certainly predated bipedalism for our ancestors, as chimps have the behavior, and bipedalism is what makes us World’s #1 Exhaustion Hunter

Bipedalism made us able to both throw sharpened sticks and run more efficiently, so you can’t even say exhaustion hunting predated spear hunting, they most likely evolved in tandem
