Trainers from the Borneo Orangutan Survival Association (BOS Deutschland) have decided to teach young monkeys born in captivity how to react if they come across a snake in the wild, reports Geo.
To do this, these specialists did not hesitate to play the actors and to give of their person.
The “course” took place in Borneo, Southeast Asia.
During a walk in the forest, trainers from the association placed a plastic snake on the course.
The moment she got to the fake reptile, one of the healers started screaming and threw herself on the ground.
Thanks to his attitude, the monkeys understood that there could be a potential danger and so they fled into the trees.

Preparing the monkeys to return to the wild
The idea was to have an overreaction so that young orangutans could understand how to react to a snake encounter in the wild when they return to the wild.
This video, very serious but also very funny, quickly went viral on social networks.
It has been viewed over 8 million times on TikTok.
Some Internet users even felt that the trainer "deserved an Oscar" for her performance.
