A viral video from a French zoo has melted hearts across social media, capturing the emotional intelligence of orangutans in a scene straight out of a feel-good movie.
In the clip, posted by Instagram user @plumesofficiel, a man strums his guitar and sings for a group of orangutans at the La Boissière du Doré Zoo near Nantes. Midway through the performance, one orangutan begins clapping—prompting laughter, awe, and millions of views online.
A text overlay on the video reads: "I was singing for orangutans when this happened." The musician later wrote, "It was such a beautiful moment for me to sing and spend some time with Orangutans, they’re so beautiful and special. Unfortunately, those animals are facing many threats such as hunting and illegal trade."
The heartwarming moment quickly took off, garnering 4.3 million views and a flood of adoring comments. One user gushed, "Hope you played longer for them. They deserve something beautiful." Another quipped, "Omg the way they rushed to their assigned seats when the 'concert' started!!"
Others praised the orangutans' reactions, with one noting, "They were a proper audience! Looks like they really enjoyed the music."
The zoo concert wasn't a one-off: in another video, the same performer is seen serenading a white tiger, which sat calmly by the fence as if listening intently. Viewers even claimed the tiger tried to "sing along" and "smiled" at the performance.
