Admit it – we’ve all pretended to be a ghost one time with a white bedsheet over our heads. This clever monkey wanted to do the exact same thing to give his orangutan friend quite the scare. Someone taped the entire thing and it’s a true joy to witness.
The footage shows two orangutans in a center from the Save the Orangutan Foundation, an organization that does their best efforts to save orangutans and their habitats. The endangered species is in serious need of a rainforest habitat, but their future is unclear now that the rainforest in Borneo is slowly but surely disappearing.
These two orangutans surely don’t have a worry on their mind, and one of the two is even working pretty hard. His friend doesn’t exactly look like a workaholic, however, as he clearly just wants to have a little bit of fun.
Funnily enough, the orangutan isn’t immediately noticed by his monkey friend, but absolutely does his best to try and grasp his attention. He put on a large white cloth-like object to see if he could get his attention or perhaps even scare him.

The orangutan in the cloth pretending to be ghost keeps trying to get noticed by the other orangutan. Unfortunately for him, it simply seems like his monkey friend is simply ignoring him and wants to focus on his tasks in the habitat.
Of course, the monkey in the cloth wasn’t planning on giving up so easily. He started to realize that the cloth itself wasn’t sufficient in getting his attention, so he resorted to busting out some pretty nifty dance moves instead.
When another orangutan joins the party, you can immediately see that these monkeys are all just friends amongst each other. The environment they’re in holds about five hundred of them and is the largest of its kind on the planet.
After finally trying to get rid of the cloth, you can see these two friends just playing around together and it’s about the most adorable thing you’ve seen all day.
The two wrestle each other a bit but seem to be giving each other big and playful hugs near the end of the video.
One thing is for sure: if there’s an orangutan around pretending to be a ghost, you certainly shouldn’t ignore the animal. This video also proves that determination is everything even in the animal kingdom, as his friend finally noticed him after ghosting around. Adorable!
