Orangutan

     The Orangutan must be human beings long lost relatives. Sharing 97% of our DNA and features such as fingernails, the orangutan is one of human being's closest surviving ancestor. Found predominantly in the dense rain forests of Borneo and Sumatra, orangutans have life spans similar to the human population of these to tropical islands.

     They can reproduce after ten years old. Their gestation period is one month shorter than a human's and the infant remains fully dependent on its mother for at least 5 years. With so many almost human traits and resting on one of the top branches of the evolutionary tree, you would be forgiven for thinking that orangutans had a pretty cushy existence.

    Orangutans spend most of their lives swinging amongst the tree canopy in the forest, where they feed on fruits like strangling figs and build nightly nests for safe slumber out of their predators, worthogs and leopards. According to the rain forests foundation, 50% of the orangutan population has been destroyed in the last decade. There are now less than 20.000 orangutans left in the wild and destruction of their natural rain forests habitat is occurring at an alarming rate.
