Orangutans show talent for mime
Just like humans, orangutans use mime to get their messages across, scientists report in the journal Biology Letters.
In this footage, an orangutan called Siti attempts to get a technician to help her break a coconut.
She picks up a piece of palm and repeatedly strikes the coconut, miming the action that her human companion would have used with his machete.
