Wikipedia extracts ~

 

Orangutans are the most arboreal of the great apes, spending nearly all of their time in the trees ! Every night they fashion nests, in which they sleep, from branches and foliage ! They are more solitary than the other apes, with males and females generally coming together only to mate !

 

Mothers stay with their babies until the offspring reach an age of six or seven years !

 

The arms of orangutans are twice as long as their legs !

 

Bornean orangutans are recorded to consume at least 317 different food items and include: young leaves, shoots, seeds and bark. Insects, honey and bird eggs are also included !
