WATCH: Orangutan grabs man through cage
Even an orangutan wants some love now and then...
A video of an orangutan who reached through its cage to grab a man has gone viral on social media.
The man in the video was trying to "play" with the animal and while the joke is on this guy, it soon became a meme.
The video showed a visitor who jumped over a fence at Kasang Kulim Zoo in Indonesia to "taunt" an orangutan. This is not the first time a person has tried to taunt these incredible creatures.

According to the media, Arifin was only trying to "play" with the animal and was not attempting to tease it.
A person eventually pulls Arifin out of the animal's grip at the end of the video.

The monkey's reflexes were so quick. It was unthinkable, I was not prepared. I thought it would kill me. I really thought I would die.
