Young Orangutan hanging onto a branch as he chews on a piece of tree bark. Orangutans are the only great apes native to Asia. Compared to other great apes, they spend much more of their time in trees, feeding off fruits and vegetation, sleeping in nests built within the tree branches, and traversing the rainforest via branches. Their exceptionally long arms enable them to have free movement amongst the rainforest canopy.

Hanging around - Bornean Orangutan playing

Young Orangutan hanging onto a branch as he chews on a piece of tree bark. Orangutans are the only great apes native to Asia. There are two species of Orangutan, the Bornean Orangutan and the Sumatran Orangutan which as the names suggest, are found only in the rainforest of Borneo and Sumatra. Compared to other great apes, they spend much more of their time in trees, feeding off fruits and vegetation, sleeping in nests built within the tree branches, and traversing the rainforest via branches. Their exceptionally long arms enable them to have free movement amongst the rainforest canopy.
