Wounded wild orangutan seen using plant medicine
Scientists say he healed it himself

 Believed to have been injured during a fight with a rival male orangutan.
A Sumatran orangutan from Indonesia was observed medicating itself from a paste it made from plants to help heal a big wound on it's cheek. This is the first time a creature in the wild has been documented treating an injury using medicine from a plant. After applying the plant poultice to the wound it healed over a months time.

Scientists say this behavior could come from a common ancestor shared by humans & great apes.
The wounded male orangutan chewed the stem & leaves of a plant called akar kuning an anti-inflammatory & anti bacterial plant, then was observed applying the liquid & past from the chewed up leaves to the wound several times over 30 minutes.

The medicine prepared & applied by the orangutan prevented infection & then the wound closed up over five days. After 30 days it was fully healed
