The Orangutan Research and Conservation Program.
Orangutans and humans share 98% of their DNA.
Don't they like Orangutans?
Orangutans have 32 teeth, the same as humans.
Come on, Orangutan! Let's hit it!
An Orangutan has a chance this year.
He looks like a proper Orangutan when he concentrates.
I mean, he gave us his portrayal of an Orangutan.
I said to him that the Orangutan could bite his hand off.
But Orangutans are discriminating about people and Romeo trusted the Dutchman instantly.
When you do the Orangutan crawl, you won't feel like you're working out.
Don't think that you can force a big male Orangutan to be fingerprinted.
Reportedly, if four baby Orangutans are captured then at least three are killed.
One Orangutan was watching Geerdink with curiosity
and then had come to look into his eyes.
A modern enclosure for Orangutans, was restored besides a restaurant and office rooms in 2009.
Sadly, although Orangutans in captivity can live up to 60 years,
Ken, only made it to 29.
On May 29, 2019, India's only Orangutan, Binny died at Odisha's Nandankanan Zoological

Chimpanzees, gorillas, and Orangutans show laughter-like vocalizations in response to physical contact,
such as wrestling, play-chasing, or tickling.
In the
first, 66% of respondents thought chimpanzees were endangered(compared with 95% for gorillas, and 91% for Orangutans).
Then Geerdink does his own fingerprint on paper and gives the Orangutan the paper to smell and examine.
(Sumatra Orangutans don't have whirls in their fingerprints like human beings,
but the Borneo Orangutans, a separate species, do.).
Chimpanzees are better suited for walking than Orangutans, because the chimp's feet have broader soles and shorter toes.
In the second, 72 percent
believed chimpanzees to be endangered(compared with 94 percent for gorillas and 92 percent for Orangutans).
The forest is especially unique because it is the only region where elephants,
tigers, Orangutans, and rhinos are found living together.
Surviving Orangutans probably modified their behaviour to counter this threat,
perhaps retreating further into the thickest forests to avoid human hunters.
In the
first, 66 percent of respondents thought chimpanzees were endangered(compared with 95 percent for gorillas, and 91 percent for Orangutans).
I met the Dutchman Jan Geerdink on the island of Sulawesi, in Indonesia, this summer,
while he was fingerprinting 600 Orangutans.
But there is controversy about the use of palm oil being unsustainable-
the production of many brands is threatening the Orangutan population.
This is especially important given that most Orangutans today do not live in protected forests,

or a leopard snatching a shepherd's livestock.
