The Orangutan is a large Asian ape. It is an adoptable animal in all three Wildlife Park games.
Description[]
The Orangutan, whose name means "person of the forest" in the Malay language, is a member of the Great Ape family native to the island of Borneo, with two other species living in Sumatra. Together, they represent the only Great Apes to naturally live outside Africa. Orangutans represent the largest truly arboreal animal, using their extremely long arms (1.5m in length) to swing and climb through trees. Males are larger than females and can be identified by their large cheek pads. Unlike other great apes, orangutans are solitary, coming together only to mate. Females give birth to a single young, which she will raise for up to seven years.
Orangutans live in the rainforest treetops, although they will occasionally come to the ground to forage. They primarily eat fruit, but will also eat other food such as leaves, honey and insects. They are incredibly intelligent and have been known to use tools. Today, all species of orangutan are considered "Critically Endangered" due to poaching, habitat destruction and capture for the pet trade.
