Orangutans share 97% of their DNA with humans. Just saying.

Looks like he’s a larger perhaps older male. Might’ve gotten agitated at the lesser one getting food from his podium and meant to remove competition for more cabbages.

A lot of primates have a hierarchy. The higher on the hierarchy the earlier you get food. If the primate was lower on the hierarchy and got food first there can be violence, but they are also smart so it could be jealousy or just being a dick.
