They are generally not aggressive and live a mostly solitary life foraging for food. They are the largest living arboreal animals with longer arms than other great apes. Their hair is typically reddish-brown, instead of the brown or black hair typical of other great apes. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia , orangutans are currently found only in rainforests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra , though fossils have been found in Java , the Thai-Malay Peninsula Vietnam and China . There are only two surviving species, both of which are

Near Matches Ignore Exact Everything orangutan thing by warwick Tue Feb 25 2003 at 4:38:47 Pongo Pygmaeus , or the Orangutan , is a modern primate of the sub-Order Athropoidea , infra-Order Catarrhini , super-Family Hominoidea , Family Pongidae , and sub-Family Ponginea . The Orangutan is native to tropical rainforest s, swamp forests, and mountain forests of up to 2,000 meters. On average, an adult Orangutan weighs around 86 kilograms, and a female about 38 kilograms. Orangutans exhibit a large degree of sexual dimorphism which may be the cause for the distinction in weight between the males and females, since males are greatly competitive with one another for mates. Males also have two physiological distinctions: they have flaps of fatty tissue hanging from the sides of their face which develops in adulthood, and they also have throat sacs which enhance their ability to produce vocal call s both for attracting a mate and to declare territory Orangutans consume insects, some small vertebrate s, and a wide variety of natural vegetation . They also consume soil to increase the minerals in their diet. Pongo Pygmaeus is both an arboreal and a diurnal species; this is best demonstrated by the fact that they construct a unique

All About Apes All About Orangutans Orangutan Quiz to Print Or Go to the Answers Orangutans are large apes that live in southeast Asia (on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra). These apes mostly live in trees (they are arboreal) and swing from branch to branch using their arms. The word orangutan means "man of the forest" in the Malay language. As its habitats are being usurped by man, the orangutan's population is decreasing and it is in grave danger of extinction.

Primate Quiz Rusti SCIENTIFIC NAME Order: Primates Family: Hominidae Genus: Pongo Species: pygmaeus Subspecies: pygmaeus (Borneo), abelii (Sumatran) HISTORY Modern orangutans originated during the Pleistocene period, 2 million to 100,000 years ago. They now face extinction. At the turn of the last century around 315,000 orangutans existed in the wild. Orangutan numbers are now down by 92% compared with a century ago and have been reduced by half in Northern Sumatra between 1993 and 2000. The orangutans ancient origin is not agreed upon. One hypothesis says it originated from Lufengpithecus, while another maintains that they originated from Sivapithecus. The fossil record of the living great apes is poor and the orangutan is the only great ape that has a fossil record linking early forms to later forms (there has never been an African fossil found that is related to chimpanzees or gorillas). However, there is now strong evidence that suggests neither of those species was the ancestor of the orangutan. In a recent discovery (reported in 2002), a team of scientists unearthed a fossil ape (Lufengpithecus chiangmuanensis) in Thailand dating back 10 to 13.5 million years ago. It consists of both an upper and lower jaw with similar dental structure as today's orangutan and they consider it to be an ancestor of the new form. This discovery would place the development of the earlier orangutan in a similar habitat as today's tropical forest home on Sumatra and Borneo. More fossils need to be found and studied to complete the picture of its evolutionary history.

Word Frequency Lists Translation Services Word Databases Dictionaries/Grammars ... Send this Page to a Friend! Search Website: Our Sponsors Technical Translation Ionic Air Purifiers Denver Colorado Architect School Fundraising Ideas ... Printable Version Pronunciation: Hear it! Part of Speech: Noun Meaning: A large, very placid arboreal ape (Pongo pygmaeus) with long red hair and long arms, still found in the jungles of Borneo and Sumatra though no longer in other habitats, such as Java and the Southeast Asian mainland. Notes: The pronunciation of this word often trips up speakers. The temptation to repeat the [ng] of the second syllable in the final one is so strong for US speakers that Merriam-Webster has given in and listed orangutang as an acceptable spelling. American Heritage allows orangoutang , indicating some confusion even among the experts. We suggest that we stick with the original, explained in the Word History. In Play: If we are going to use this word, we had better hurry. The numbers of these delightful, relaxed cousins are rapidly diminishing: "The expansion of the lumber business in Southeast Asia is threatening all of the orangutans' habitats." Soon they may only inhabit zoos: "The orangutan and I watched each other at the zoo this afternoon but it wasn't clear who was the exhibit and who, the spectator." Word History: In Malaysian orang means "man" and utan means "forest" giving us "man of the forest". Interestingly, however, this term in Malay usually refers to a wild or uncivilized person and not to what we call an orangutan. The Malays prefer calling this animal a

At OrangAid+ , you'll learn more about these fascinating and unique relatives of human beings, and find out more about how to help. Did you know orangutans are endangered and could go extinct? Wild orangutans live only in Borneo and the Sumatra islands in Indonesia and Malaysia. (Fossils have also been found in mainland Asia throughout all of Southeast Asia, including Beijing, Taiwan, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, the Malaysia Peninsula, and in Java.) Orangutans share 98% of the genetic material with humans . They branched off from the hominoid line (the common ancestor of humans and apes) about 8-12 million years ago. Gibbons, gorillas, and chimpanzees (and bonobos) split from the hominid line about 17 million years ago, 8 million years ago, and 5-6 million years ago, respectively. What can you do to help? Learn more Get involved Spread the word Videos Orangutans are very smart! They perform well in various kinds of cognitive tests such as quantitative judgment, spatial memory, and problem solving. For instance, when presented with two different amounts of food (5 vs. 3 pieces of monkey chow), they can reliably choose the larger reward. When a food is hidden in one of several identical opaque cups, they can successfully choose the correct cup even after a long delay. They are also creative and good at coming up with innovative solutions to novel problems. In a recent study, orangutans were given a clear tube that was vertically attached onto the cage mesh. Inside the tube was a peanut shell which was floating on water and out of their reach. How did the orangutans solve this problem? They got mouthfuls of water from a nearby dispenser and spat it into the tube until they could get the peanut!
