ORANGUTAN
Orangutans of Pongo pygmaeus belong to the Primate order. The Orangutan
spends most of its time in trees. Each evening it builds a new treetop nest. They
are endangered because of habitat lost and poachers keep on killing, owning,
and exporting orangutans. They only live on the island of Borneo and in the
northern corner of the island of Sumatra.
Orangutans are charecterized by rough, long, reddish-brown fur. Male
orangutans are about 95 cm (37in) in length and about 77 kg (170 lb) in weight.
Females are smaller, reaching about 78 cm (31 in) in height and weighing only
about 37 kg (81 lb). The male has puffy cheeks and a hanging throat-pouch. This
pouch contains air sacks that help produce a groaning, bubbling call, which can
be heard at least 1 km (0.6 mi) away.
Half of the orangutan’s diet consists of fruit, but they also eat young leaves, soft
inner bark, termites, eggs, and occasionally monkeys.
When a female is ready to mate, she will seek out an adult male. Orangutans are
mammals;Females give birth to a single infant about once every four to eight
years. The gestational period for orangutans is just under nine months, nearly the
