The world s largest treedwelling animal, the orangutan relies upon its intelligenceand well-adapted body to survive in the tropical rainforest.
http://natzoo.si.edu/Animals/Primates/Facts/FactSheets/Orangutans/default.cfm

Extractions: These orangish-red-haired apes have long arms and curved hands and feet, which they put to good use when traversing the treetops. Older orangutans usually move through the trees on all fours, while young ones often brachiate, or swing hand over hand. Males have longer hair than females and disc-like cheek pads. Both sexes have throat pouches that make their calls resonate through the forest. The males' pouches are more developed. Orangutans crush tough foliage and hard-shelled nuts with their strong teeth and jaws. Two subspecies exist: P. p. pygmaeus

Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary - Dive Borneo

http://www.diveborneo.com/locations/sepilok.htm

Extractions: Come in close contact with the remarkable "man of the forest". A visit to the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary will allow you to come in close contact with the remarkable "man of the forest". The orangutan is found only in the Indonesian islands of Borneo and Sumatra, almost exclusively in lowland rainforest areas. Orangutans are so finely adapted to the rainforests that they are unable to adapt well to any other habitat. One of the world's largest primates, it is second only to the gorilla in size. The Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary is set in 15 square miles of beautiful virgin rainforest. It began in 1964 to help once captive orangutans learn to fend for themselves in the wild. It is interesting and exciting to watch these large red apes. They are astonishing gentle, highly intelligent and will gaze at you with almost disconcerting frankness.

"This birth is very significant for the San Diego Zoo and the critically endangered Sumatran orangutan population," said Kim Livingstone, the zoo's lead animal keeper. "We were hoping that Indah would get pregnant, and we're very excited to now have a healthy male newborn," she said. Caregivers are keeping a close eye on the pair to make sure the baby is healthy, nursing and being cared for properly by his mom, zoo officials said. Indah and her unnamed infant made their public debut in the 8,400-square- foot "Absolutely Apes" exhibit they share with several other apes. The zoo has teamed with America Online, whose members will select the name of the baby orangutan from five different Sumatran names. Potential names include "Pasti," which means "to be certain or definite"; "Suka," which means "to be fond of"; "Merduka," which means "independent and free"; "Gembria," which means "to be glad and cheerful"; or "Cinta," which means "love and affection."

http://www.tourismindonesia.com/tourismindonesia/orangutan/index.asp

Extractions: The orang-utan is literally a "man of the woods", also called Mawas ( pongo pygmaeus ). It is a great ape with long reddish hair, and spends its time mostly moving about in the trees and less on the ground. Orang-utans live in the wet and hot forests of Sumatera and Kalimantan(Borneo). Kalimantan orang utans are red brown, while their Sumatran cousins are paler, and more gingerly color. Kalimantan orang utans also have coarser hair. Orang utans have a varied diet of fruit, bark, leaves, and insects like ants, termites, and bees. They feed by moving in the canopy but the males freguently come to the ground to travel longer distances. However, the female of the species virtually never leave the trees. These creatures live a nomadic lifestyle depending on food availability. They have a solitary lifestyle unlike other species of monkeys or apes that live in groups.

From an anthropological viewpoint, a phenomenon such as tool use represents orangutanculture, since the entire group participates in a behavior that has
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/orangutans/html/body_tools.html

Extractions: Introduction Saving Orangutans Orangutan I.Q. Orangutan Tools Resources Orangutans in the wild are using tools. In 1994, Carel van Schaik of Duke University became the first anthropologist to document the use of tools among wild orangutans. His study investigated orangutans in the swampy Gunung Leuser National Park, in the northwest corner of Sumatra, who were developing implements to help themselves eat. Here, ravines, knee-deep water, and fish leeches keep out loggers , leaving the orangutans relatively undisturbed. The swamp is densely packed with orangutans that van Schaik describes as gregarious and extremely tolerant of each other an unusual arrangement for these apes, who are usually solitary. "The reason that tolerance is important is that we assume that the critical factor for using tools is the ability to learn it from others," van Schaik explains. "Everybody is using tools, and everybody has the chance to observe it, so it is a social behavior." Orangutans in captivity often use tools, but no one before van Schaik had observed this behavior in wild populations. Wild orangutans on the nearby island of Borneo have not developed tool use, perhaps because they are more sparsely distributed throughout the forest.

These islands are inhabited by faunas which have much in common, but that of Borneo is distinctive, with about 40 mammals that are endemic; i.e. they exist nowhere else in the world. The island of Borneo is in the Malay Archipelago, southeast of the Malay Peninsula and southwest of the Philippine Islands. The population is 10,184,443 (1984 est.).

Wildlife News Search WWF-UK WWF-UK Wildlife Endangered species > Orang-utans Friday 11 June 2004 Endangered species Barn Owl Bears Big Cats Birds of prey ... Environmental threats Orang-utans Background Current threats What WWF is doing Background Orang-utans live on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra in South-east Asia and are the only great apes found outside Africa. The populations on the two islands have been separate for more than a million years, and scientists now consider them as distinct sub-species: the Sumatran orang-utan and the Bornean orang-utan. Orang-utans spend most of their time in the treetops of the rainforests - in fact the name orang-utan means "person of the forest". They pass from tree to tree by climbing or swinging. Their strong arms stretch out longer than their bodies (up to 2.1m across) and allow them to move about in the rainforest canopy with ease, or to hang from branches eating fruit and leaves. When climbing, orang-utans use all four limbs - their big toes are opposable (like a human's thumbs) so they can grip branches with their feet as well as their hands. On the ground, orang-utans can stand upright, but they walk on all fours.
