Are you seeking a video to brighten your day? Then there’s this video of a 45-year-old orangutan that enjoys making people laugh. The footage, which was shared on Instagram, shows the animal interacting with a couple of younger orangutans. The video is spreading joy and may make you grin as well.

The footage was shared on Instagram by the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. They also included a lengthy message praising Bonnie, an orangutan who enjoys spending time with her nephew.

“At 45 years old, Bonnie is one of the silliest orangutans you’ll ever meet! Even though her last offspring was born more than three decades ago—our very own Kiko—her maternal instinct remains strong. She is a wonderful “auntie” and playmate for Redd, and she unabashedly dotes on him. Often, she will make a squeaking vocalization to grab his attention and signify her desire to play,” they said.

“Bonnie knows how to charm the primate team, too. She will make funny vocalizations, break out some dance moves or knock on doors to get keepers’ attention. Then, she lets them know she’s ready for treats! One of her favourites is diluted fruit juice, which keepers serve in a small paper cup. If this vessel yields too small a portion for her liking, Bonnie will grab one of her enrichment buckets and hold it up to the mesh, hoping for a more generous pour!” they added.

How precious they are. Thank you for sharing this,” one Instagram user remarked. “Just like me playing with my niece/nephews! Being an aunt is the best!” said another. “This is so cute!! more Bonnie content,” a third said.
