:Actually, the article says that they can be ''tamed'', but cannot be ''trained''.  "Taming" just means that you can make them into non-hostile pets, but "training" means making them into hunting or war animals.  "Domesticated" is probably a better word to use than "tamed", so I'll change that and try to clarify the relevant articles.  -- [[User:HiEv|<span style="color:#E05858;font-weight:bold;">Hi</span>]][[User talk:HiEv|<span style="color:#C06060;font-weight:bold;">Ev</span>]] 00:41, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Trainable?[edit]

Could someone verify the Orangutan's trainability? The article explicitly states both that it CAN and CANNOT be trained. Z4KJ0N3S 21:57, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Actually, the article says that they can be tamed, but cannot be trained. "Taming" just means that you can make them into non-hostile pets, but "training" means making them into hunting or war animals. "Domesticated" is probably a better word to use than "tamed", so I'll change that and try to clarify the relevant articles. -- HiEv 00:41, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
