Let's hear it for orangutan moms! 🥰A 15-year study suggests that wild Bornean #orangutan mothers go out of their way to arrange playdates for their young, even travelling further to seek out age-appropriate playmates - highlighting the vital role of social play in solitary species.

This is beautiful!!

Orangutan moms plan playdates for their kids.

Decades of longitudinal data + hierarchical Bayesian social relations models 😍
Our paper on how orangutan mothers plan and alter their space use at personal costs so their offspring may play with similarly aged offspring (independent of kinship and fruit productivity) has transitioned from preprint to peer reviewed publication doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

In most vertebrates, social play among peers is considered essential for behavioral development. Yet in solitary species bearing single offspring, ...

Being an adult is rough because you gotta schedule your own playdates. It’s all “I’d love to pick your brain about X”, not “I like your drawing. Let’s be best friends!”.

💙🧸 I know I post naughty pictures, and I absolutely love all the attention you guys give me! But one thing has always been clear: Mommy is my everything. 🥰

We’re always happy to make friends, have playdates, and maybe even welcome you into our kinky family circle someday.

Die Frage ist überhaupt nicht seltsam, aber der Familienalltag ist mit Abholen, Hobbys, Playdates, Hausaufgaben und Konferenzen nachmittags so voll. Mein Mann wäre aus alldem komplett raus. Ich müsste alldas wuppen während ich eigentlich arbeiten müsste. Wäre er im HO, könnten wir uns das teilen.

Orangutan mothers travel farther around their young’s playdates, suggesting they actively seek suitable playmates. Whether the effort benefits offspring later in life remains unknown. doi.org/hcmsv6
Orangutan mothers seek out playmates for their young
Playing with peers is a crucial part of growing up—so crucial that orangutan mothers will go out of their way to arrange playdates for their young, according to a 15-year study of wild Bornean orangutans.

Yeah, getting actual playdates on Diaper Bois is a pain. Half the time they ghost you, and when they DO show up, it's a trainwreck 80% of the time.

'Only one...said, “Yes. I’ll join you.” That first walk led to playdates, dinners and girl’s trips, and supporting each other through trials and loss. Ms. Combres and Ms. Miller have been close friends for more than a decade – because one stranger asked, and another answered.'

The courage of yes.
I harp on this all the time, but there is so much peer reviewed solid evidence that we benefit from small talk with strangers, knowing our neighbours, chatting with our baristas, etc.

And I believe that our shift away from that stuff is at the root of all our antisocial behaviour right now.

Talking to strangers is good for us, and a growing number of places have started campaigns, events and programs to kickstart those conversations
