A bit of a loner, but enjoys being on their own.
Orangutans are the least sociable compare to any diurnal primate anywhere in the world.
The males especially are loners and antisocial. The mature males with full face flanges and throat sacs can produce what are known as long calls, to tell others he is about to travel a long way and keep other males out of his way.
Sometimes, the long calls might accidentally attract females in telling them that a large and handsome mate is coming.

Nests are not only for birds but for orangutans too! Unlike ground-living animals, an orangutan swings through trees, leaving no footprints. In order to know whether an orangutan is around, look out for their nests.
With their given size, orangutans realises the risks of sleeping above two storeys in the trees every night. They are intelligent and efficient creatures and are capable at making comfortable leaf-like nests.

Heavy but smart. For an animal as large as an orangutan, obtaining food on small branches at the extremities of rainforest trees, presents somewhat of a problem.
Yet they are smart and perfectly adapted to the task. They never rush, never jump or leap; and all of their movements are careful and cautious. They know how to spread their load between different supports.

Young orangutans depend on their mothers for many years. Babies will continuously cling to their mother for their first year of life. They will still be riding on their mothers for another two to three years.
Not unlike humans, before they can successfully live alone, they need to learn everything from their mothers, i.e what and how to eat, where to find food, how to build their nests, and how to avoid predators.
The special and rare bond between an orangutan mother and her young is one of ...

Male Orangutan
18th Aug 2018, by WWF Malaysia
In primate biology, size does matter. Females like it big. Female orangutans prefer male orangutans with big cheek pads, also known as flanges. Developing flanges can take a while. Some male orangutans take 20 years to grow flanges.
Their cheek pads are big due to their rising testosterone levels. All of which are characteristics associated with dominance. So please don’t mess with the male and his female.
An orangutan is about seven times stronger than a human. He can crush anyone in his...

Brother from another mother, and of similar size. Do orangutans eat like us? Yes they do. They are omnivorous, just like us. But they prefer to feed mainly on fruits and might consume hundreds each day.
However, some of their other food sources are bark lining, honey and insects which take quite some time to obtain.
Just imagine almost half of an orangutan’s day is spent just to extract food and eating it!

Only the greatest ape ever known to Asia the orangutan or ‘man of the forest’ is only found in the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Orangutans in the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak are mainly found in the lowlands. They are the world's largest tree-climbing mammals.
Orangutans have extremely low reproductive rate hence making them highly vulnerable. A single infant is born once every three to five years, thus recovery time will be slower from population decline.
Although occasionall...
