To add extra hilarity to the incident, the youngster then planted a huge kiss on his patient mom’s face to repent for the emotional display. The whole episode was caught on camera and quickly went viral. 

When Berani’s mother, a 16-year-old orangutan named Sari, dragged her son away from a play session in his enclosure at Pairi Daiza, what ensued was a scenario that many parents of young children may find relatable. 

“Just like all small children, Berani still has to listen to what mom says even though he’s getting a bit more independent,” said photographer Koen Hartkamp, who caught the hilarious moment on camera, as per the Daily Mail. “Judging by the picture, he didn’t like it.” The tenacious mother didn’t give up, holding her young son by the arm and persisting in relocating him to a different part of the enclosure. Berani’s tantrum was short-lived, though. 

Photos taken just moments after the young orangutan’s amusing episode show the tot snuggled under a gold-colored blanket and sipping a refreshing drink from the enclosure’s water fountain. Feisty Berani, his mother, Sari, and his father, Ujian, moved to Pairi Daiza in 2017 from Germany. Berani will celebrate his fourth birthday on March 21, 2020. 

On Berani’s third birthday in 2019, Pairi Daiza took to Facebook to share cheerful pictures of the baby ape tucking into his birthday treat. “Happy birthday Berani,” staff began. “Our beloved orangutan is 3 years old today.” “For the occasion,” they continued, “his trainers prepared a hearty party snack for him: his favorite seeds in the gift, and a carrot cake decorated with fruit and rose leaves (without thorns, of course).” 

Berani’s parents, the park’s staff added, also enjoyed the delicious birthday treat with their young son. For Sari’s 16th birthday, almost seven months later, Pairi Daiza staff threw an equally festive celebration, also posting on Facebook about the happy event. 

“Happy Birthday Sari,” they began. “This beautiful Sumatran orangutan is 16 years old today.” “For the occasion, we carefully prepared an enrichment in the form of boxes in which delicious seeds and fruits were found,” staff added. “Sari also received sheets and blankets offered by visitors, which she immediately shared with Uijan and Berani in their territory of the Temple of Flowers.” 

Hiding under sheets, staff explained, is one of the playful orangutans’ favorite activities. One of the award-winning Pairi Daiza safari park’s main missions is to raise awareness of deforestation owing to palm oil plantations. 

The park actively contributes toward Borneo forest restoration projects; such forests are prime habitat for myriad species, including orangutans. 

As per Pairi Daiza, “orangutan” translates as “man of the forest” in Malay. The orangutan is a large primate that lives and thrives in the bountiful canopies of rainforests. Berani, Sari, and Ujian are Sumatran orangutans and may live until around the age of 50 in captivity. The creatures are extremely intelligent. They are able to employ twigs and branches as “tools” to extract insects from hard-to-reach crevices or the juicy innards of fruit from their skins. 

They are also masters of body language, primarily communicating through gesticulation. As per the World Wildlife Fund, rampant deforestation has rendered the orangutan a critically endangered species. 

There are only around 7,500 Sumatran orangutans remaining in the wild. It has never been more important to protect these magnificent creatures.

  In this clip shared by the family, we see the mama bear and her 5 cubs totally enjoying the refreshing pool and other play accessories lying around in the backyard. 

So while some of the bear cubs wrestle each other in the pool, the rest get busy working out the family’s swing and slide set. 

As for the mama bear, she nonchalantly oversees her kids while lounging in the cool rejuvenating water! We love how each member of the Basso family had their own unique perspective of the bear visit in the background conversation. 

Their little kid was thrilled at first but later got pretty stressed about the bear cubs “stealing” her floaties. Dad seemed equally bummed upon realizing that the bears were probably poking holes in the pool. 

However, Mom was surely having a blast witnessing the rare bear adventure unfolding in front of her eyes. Despite the overall wholesomeness of the bear family’s fun pool party, there is a moment that causes the Bassos to panic. 

The mama bear grabs the pool’s plugged-in electric pump and starts fiddling around with it, even bringing it in contact with the water. Luckily, the situation was brought under control and everyone was safe and sound! Do keep your volume up for this delightful clip!

She said that her family was asleep when they heard an unbelievable crash coming from her kitchen. When the family looked for the origin of that noise, they were surprised to find Boonchuay’s head poking through the broken wall, rummaging around for salty snacks. 

Wildlife veterinarian Dr. Pattarapol Maneeon of USAID explained to the press that elephants cannot find the salt they need from natural resources during the rainy season, so they come over to the local villages in hopes of finding something salty there. 

Pattarapol Maneeon, a veterinarian from the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, explained that it is possible that there are not enough salty foods in the wild during the rainy season, forcing the elephants to look for salt in local villages.

  The elephant was scared away by the residents, but he left a rather large mess behind.

A post shared by Hayden Kittler (@kittlerhayden)

From Kittler’s exhausted and irritated response, you can tell this isn’t BoomBoom’s first time breaking into the home. In another social media comment, Kittler explains that BoomBoom was orphaned as a baby, and Kittler spent time raising the bison inside the home. Since then, the animal has been trying to get back inside. 

However, a full-grown male bison can weigh between 1,000 and 2,200 pounds, so it’s probably not something you want in your home. The video shows the damage left behind by the massive animal. Besides the damage at the entrance, you can see that BoomBoom overturned furniture and pushed a whole table aside. Kittler enters slowly and tries to keep the animal calm. 

Even as his longtime owner, Kittler is hesitant, as bison are known to ram in self-defense. Kittler slowly moves a table and chair out of the way and tries to calm BoomBoom down. He eventually convinces BoomBoom to get back outside. 

However, it ends a little disappointingly for BoomBoom, who was hoping for food, only to be tricked. BoomBoom has been popular enough on TikTok and Instagram that Kittler is now selling a plushie toy of the bison to help raise money for its care. 

Kittler’s video is a good reminder of the dangers of bison. Park rangers are continuing to remind visitors to national parks that they should keep a safe distance from wild animals. So far this year, there have been two cases of bisons injuring tourists.
