All three species are critically endangered according to the IUCN Red List of mammals. [115] [116] [117] They are legally protected from capture, harm or killing in both Malaysia and Indonesia, [118] and are listed under Appendix I by CITES, which prohibits their unlicensed trade under international law. [119] The Bornean orangutan range has become more fragmented, with few or no apes documented in the southeast. [116] The largest remaining population is found in the forest around the Sabangau River, but this environment is at risk. [120] The Sumatran orangutan is found only in the northern part of Sumatra, most of the population inhabiting the Leuser Ecosystem. [115] The Tapanuli orangutan is found only in the Batang Toru forest of Sumatra. [117] Deforestation for palm oil production in Indonesia Unflanged males wander widely in search of oestrous females and upon finding one, will force copulation on her, the occurrence of which is unusually high among mammals. Females prefer to mate with the fitter flanged males, forming pairs with them and benefiting from their protection. [63] [55] [64] Non- ovulating females do not usually resist copulation with unflanged males, as the chance of conception is low. [64] Homosexual behaviour has been recorded in the context of both affiliative and aggressive interactions. [65] Mother orangutan with young Orangutans can brachiate —swing hand over hand —but they normally move cautiously through large trees by climbing and walking. This allows them to distribute their weight among the branches. Orangutans' hands make them graceful and swift while swinging, but it makes walking on the ground very slow and awkward. Orangutans are among the most intelligent primates. They use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage. The apes' learning abilities have been studied extensively. There may be distinctive cultures within populations. Orangutans have been featured in literature and art since at least the 18th century, particularly in works that comment on human society. Field studies of the apes were pioneered by primatologist Birutė Galdikas and they have been kept in captive facilities around the world since at least the early 19th century.

These are carefully constructed; young orangutans learn from observing their mother's nest-building behaviour. In fact, nest-building allows young orangutans to become less dependent on their mother. From six months of age onwards, orangutans practise nest-building and gain proficiency by the time they are three years old. [71] a b c d e Groves, Colin P. (1971). "Pongo pygmaeus".

Orangutans can grow up to around 200 lbs, and their arms surpass their legs in length. They can grow from 1.10m to 1.40m tall and are mainly frugivorous but also eat other plant parts and small animals such as ants, termites, bird eggs, etc. They are bigger than a monkey but smaller than a gorilla. These mammals spend much of their time searching for food and nourishment. Orangutans are active during the day time, living in the canopy among the trees, high above the forest land. They use all four limbs and hook-shaped hands to carefully meander and grasp their way through the treetops. Males have a throat sac and large cheeks to make calls to their neighboring orangutans. The amount of food depends on the rainfall; on average, there is about 14 feet worth of rainfall each year to nourish the Orangutans' surrounding environment. A very intelligent mammal, they use the surrounding nature to create shelters from the rain for the evening and even add soft spaces like leaf piles for cushions.
