Orangutans 

are great apes native to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Three species in the


genus Pongo are recognised. The most arboreal of the great apes, orangutans spend most of their
time in trees. They have proportionally long arms and short legs and their hair is reddish-brown.
Adult males may develop distinctive cheek pads or flanges and make long calls that attract females
and intimidate rivals. Orangutans are generally solitary, with most social bonds occurring between
mothers and their dependent offspring. The apes eat mainly fruit, but also vegetation, bark, honey,
insects and bird eggs. Among the most intelligent primates, orangutans use a variety of
sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage.
The illegal pet trade, poaching, and habitat destruction for palm oil cultivation have caused severe
declines in the populations and ranges of all three species. (Full article...) Orangutans are great
