  2. Habitat and Distribution • They are only found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra which are both islands of Indonesia. • Scientists believe that they are second only to humans in intelligence and they could be the first great ape to go extinct. • There are only about 12000-15000 remaining in Borneo (when there were about 20000 in 1996) and approximately 4000-6000 left in Sumatra (when there were about 10000 in 1996). • Experts estimate that they could be extinct in as few as 10 years.

  3. Diet

  4. Fruit makes up 65-95 percent of the orangutan diet. Fruit with sugary or fatty pulp are their favourite. Bornean orangutans eat at least 317 different types of food that include young leaves, shoots, bark, insects, honey and bird eggs.

  5. Social Life They live a more solitary life than other great apes. Adult males mainly live alone. They are diurnal meaning that they are active during the day Orangutans breed slower than any other primate and have approximately 3 offspring in their lifetime and Orangutans breed slower than any other primate and have approximately 3 offspring in their lifetime.  They also tend to kiss as shown in the picture to the right.
