A now-viral video is making rounds on social media wherein an unlucky man is being attacked by an aggressive orangutan at a zoo.
I think he got what he wished for and went viral — but not in the way he expected. lol
19-year-old Hasanal Arifin hopped an enclosure fence at an Indonesian zoo to record an orangutan to create content for his social media accounts.
After surviving the attack, he went on to publish the footage of the incident and even put up his torn shirt for public view online.
Desrizal, the zoo manager said that Arifin put himself in danger by violating the zoo’s rules, but he was not badly injured.
Here’s what TMZ reported about the unfortunate incident:
Orangutans are known for being aggressive, especially with humans, but one animal was clearly pissed off … and one guy learned just how strong the great apes really are.
Check out the video — the guy gets too close to the cage — and the orangutan quickly grabs him by the shirt, pulling him closer and closer, and possibly trying to bite the man.
From there, it’s a tug of war between the ape and the man’s friends … and his friends are losing.
As you might imagine, the insane video is sending social media into a frenzy. One user wrote, “Google people who have been attacked by apes. They are strong enough to rip you to pieces. And they go for your face and your hands first.”

Arifin later apologised to the management of Kasang Kulim Zoo in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. He definitely learned a lesson the hard and scary way.
