How Orangutan, also known as 'person of the forest', used a plant to completely heal big wound below his eyes
Rakus, a male Sumatran orangutan, demonstrated remarkable behavior after sustaining a facial wound in a fight. Researchers observed him treating the wound using leaves from a plant known for its medicinal properties. Rakus chewed the leaves to create a liquid, which he applied to the wound repeatedly, resembling a wound plaster. This behavior, rarely seen in orangutans, highlights their cognitive abilities and potential for self-medication.
