Baby Orangutan throws Tantrum and collapses to ground after being denied Extra Milk
This is the comical moment a hungry orangutan decided to throw a tantrum after being refused more than his recommended amount of milk.
Footage shows the adorable ape, named ‘Big Boy Beni’, throwing himself on the ground and following his carer in an effort to get another sip of the liquid.
The orangutan, who is being raised by the Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation, had surpassed his quota of milk when he decided to cause a scene on November 29.

In the clip, the beloved star of the Orangutan Jungle School documentary, stares at his carer and watches them pour milk into the mouths of the other orangutan’s around him.
Not keeping his insatiable appetite a secret, the orangutan resorts to a display of amateur dramatics when he is unable to get more milk.
Footage of Beni’s antics were later shared on the BOS Foundation Facebook page under the caption: ‘Big Boy Beni needs more enrichment – and you could help provide him with some!
