An orangutan arms can have a reach of more than 8 feet! How tall are you? Probably not 8 feet or higher- so, an orangutan can have a reach of a length longer than you are tall!Mosquitoes bother orangutans just like they do humans and they will use branches like fly swatters to swish them away.
Legend says that orangutans can speak but choose not to because they fear they would be forced to work if were they ever caught talking.
Orangutans can make approximately 13 to 15 different vocalizations.
At this time orangutans can still be found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra.
Orangutans eat tropical fruits, leaves, sprouts, bark and insects.
Baby orangutans cry when they are hungry, whimper when they are hurst and smile at their mothers.
The name “orangutan” translates into English as “man of the forest”. It comes from Malay and Bahasa Indonesian orang (man) and hutan (forest).
