Humans are unable to identify non-human intelligence on Earth, though it is ubiquitous (dolphins, whales, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, crows, octopi, etc.). Does anyone really believe they will identify it from alien worlds?

Yes, I did a bunch of gorillas and orangutans. Back probably 2008-2012ish. They never put animals under anesthesia just to run tests, but if they needed surgery I would do an EKG because their heart structures are similar to humans. Most common surgery was to add/remove birth control devices.

I know, and I hate myself for what I'm about to do, but:
Dian Fossey's thing was gorillas; Goodall's thing was chimps. (The third of the "Trimates" was Birute Galdikas, and her thing was orangutans.)

We visited orangutans in an open sanctuary in Sarawak, Malaysia. However, we never had any interaction. We just watched those who came in during feeding. Still a cool experience. We were given strict instructions as to how to behave if approached. Yours was a unique experience.
