Expand the arm up to 2 meters long, can be used to swing between the trees. Diet: Eat the fruit (such as durian, rambutan, jackfruit, litchi, mango, pour spill, figs), twigs, buds, insects, vine; occasionally eat bird eggs and small vertebrates. Reproduction: female about 10 years to reach sexual maturity at the age of 30 years to stop having children. Annual output of one every 3 to 6 cubs, pregnancy of about 235 to 270 days. Pups need feeding 3 years, 7 to 10 years old when it is fully independent. Life: the life of the wild is about 35 years old, about 60 years under artificial conditions. Protection Status: Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered as iucn level, Bornean orangutan is listed as endangered level. Orangutan populations has been the threat of habitat destruction, they also captured in the past to the zoo or sold as pets.

Overview
Orangutan is Asia's only great ape, and now exists only in Borneo and Sumatra steam-filled jungle. Among the primates, two species of orangutans is very prominent in many respects, they are the world's largest arboreal, but also the slowest breeding - the mammals. Gorilla was considered a social recluse, but sex life is very unique, they established a regional pattern reminiscent of the early human culture.

Body Features
The big red ape jaw, large, flat molars have sharp and thick wrinkled enamel - a perfect anatomical structure is conducive to tear the fruit and wood termite nests with branches, grinding hard seeds and tear off the bark. The construction of the great apes at least once a day, sleeping platform, they will break and fold some of the branches, then the top of the tree branches and twigs woven into the nest. When it rains, they will add an extra layer of water-resistant cover.

Distribution
猩猩 分布状况
Because of the huge gorilla body shape, and accordingly a large appetite, so its density is usually very low (only one per square kilometer), but especially in the fertile valley swamp forests, and their density can reach 7 per square kilometer only. Borneo Sumatran orangutan density than the great apes, and they also live in higher altitude areas. In the case of not being hunted, and their density depends on the fruit yield, especially rich in fruit pulp. For the rich flesh of the fruit, its distribution is more canyon than the slopes and ridges, low hills off than many, and geographic change frequently Borneo off than many of Sumatra. When the road is very strenuous gorilla, the distance they usually move every day than 1 km. However, female orangutans have hundreds of hectares of large areas of activity, while the male orangutan can reach thousands of hectares of fields of activity. Both male and female orangutan sites are not defensive in nature, their activities have significant overlaps in the field, but relatively small body with the ruler will avoid the company of apes. After sexual maturation of female offspring in the female gorillas typically leave the vicinity of areas of activity, but males may be _set_tled in four weeks before the roaming for many years.

Food Features
Some swamps in Sumatra, the orangutans will be produced as a tool stick the seeds from the fruit of many trees which bristle out of the Plaza. They also use tools to dig for honey in the hive, or dig holes in the trees of the termites. Among stocks in the use of tools, all the members with such skills, but they use different frequencies tools. A very interesting comparison is that members of other species do not have this ability, even if they use the tools of orangutan populations separated by only a river. The use of tools of local tradition and the tradition of wild chimpanzees is very similar.

Social behavior
Orangutan is a very lone animals, especially those living in Borneo's orangutans. Most of the adult gorilla alone action and feeding. After weaning their offspring will gradually become more independent. Male orangutans usually after puberty will be to disconnect the relationship between mother, but the female orangutan will come back often. Childhood and adolescence apes will sometimes play with for hours, or even walk around in pairs or followed home. When gorillas encounter a few adults, such as a fruit tree is to attract the same, they almost never for social interaction, in the future will be eating their leave. Social interaction between the Sumatran orangutan to be more. In addition to low levels of adult male outside, all sectors of the apes are social activities and work together. Compared with the Bornean orangutan, Sumatran orangutan eating more fruits and invertebrates, more eating tree bark, and they also have the use of tools of monopoly. These differences are ultimately derived from their relatively high population density, which is a reflection of their habitats, food production is relatively high. In rich habitats, and eating the cost of collective action is relatively low, so they were able to benefit from group life, such as the skills of learning to use tools. Orangutans and their understanding of each area of activity only often overlap with other orangutans, and will be with the establishment of social relations. Female orangutan will give priority to build relationships and some apes, and this relationship is also synchronized with the reproduction. Although occasionally a minor to establish links between the male, but a greater degree of relationship between males is competitive. Males will be issued several times a day "long called" goal is to not go near the low level of male, but as in males meet, they will put on display intense and aggressive, sometimes also lead to the ground chase and fight. Respectfully to stay as long as the juvenile male to a certain distance away, the adult males can tolerate them. Whenever given the chance, will try to be adult males and females to between pregnancy, but pregnant females will be able to choose the local dominant adult male, only males can generally be successfully prevented most of the adult male and female mating. Thus, males who have not been _select_ed, whether adult or a coming of age, when they encountered a single female, it is usually through malicious bite to subdue the fierce resistance of the females. In Borneo, initiated by the female and male dominance of the spouse relationship will last a few days; in Sumatra, the relationship may last several weeks. May be associated with this is that more than half of the Sumatran orangutan is in line with mating, and in Borneo, 90% of the mating activities are achieved through violence. Females spend a lot of time looking for what benefits the male is still a mystery; Perhaps it is the choice for their future good genes, it may be to seek the protection of male dominance.

Protect and living environment
Since 40,000 years ago, anatomically modern humans in Southeast Asia since the invasion, has been a gorilla human predators and competitors. The apes in the original scope of activities by the extinction of most of them are caused by human hunting. Historically, people hunting for survival activities may also result in discontinuities distributed orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra islands reasons. Orangutans are now facing extinction in the wild. Orangutans are sensitive to the logging industry, when more intensive logging activities when they will completely disappear. Most of the forests outside nature reserves have been transformed into farmland or disappeared. Therefore, the only effective way to protect the orangutan is in nature reserves and national parks to retain as many habitats. Malaysia and Indonesia have established a major forest protected areas. More than 90% of the wild orangutans live in Indonesia, 90 in the last century, however, occurred in Indonesia's economic and political turmoil made people start logging in protected areas. Finally, this turmoil triggered devastating forest fires in Borneo, thus, becoming the region with long-term El Niño-related droughts more sensitive. Compared with a century ago, the number of orangutans has decreased by more than 92%, and in between 1993 and 2000, the northern island of Sumatra, the number fell by a full half. The rest of the population is only distributed in some islands, and they will continue to be isolated, because the apes seldom elsewhere "immigrants." Therefore, in order to prevent the extinction of orangutans in the wild, the rest of humanity need to be carefully protected forests and active management.
