A nature reserve in the Netherlands has created a kind of Tinder for orangutans to help them mate more easily.
The researchers wanted to better understand their feelings, they were shown pictures on the tablet with other monkeys, and the researchers were able to assess what answers they had – from neutral to aggressive.
“After seeing the pictures, the monkeys had to press a button on the screen. In this way we can measure their ability to react “.
The people from the natural park concluded that the males reacted positively to the images with other monkeys in which positive or sexual actions are shown.
The study shows that primates react and pay attention when it comes to the emotions of their species. But they stopped the study because the orangutan women destroyed the tablet when they saw images of possible male suitors.
