An Orangutan Practicing Medicine

In Sumatra a male orangutan 🦧 named Rakus was seen treating wounds with herbs. 🌿 This means Rakus is practicing medicine, surprising scientists.

In a related story:

Because Rakus is affordable, patients are lining up for his medical treatments. He is booked for the next six months.

But is he worth the wait:

There is no paperwork required, because Rakus can’t read. And he works literally for peanuts. He scratches himself in personal places, but this will shock no one who has ever seen a professional baseball game.

When asked her impression of him, Rakus’ patient Julie replied, “He communicates in grunts, which is better than my husband does.”

Added his Hollywood agent Sid, “Rakus is so popular he will soon have his own TV show, ‘Dr. Rakus, Medicine Man.’”
