Orangutang

​ =Hello peoples :) =

=I'm studying about the Orangutans! I will give you lots of information about Orangutans. If you have any questions leave them on my page and I will answer them for you :) = = = = = = = = = =Orangutans are mammals. They are the second largest of the apes. They are covered in long reddish brownish hair. The word orangutan means man of the forest in Malay language. = = = = = =Life Cycle = = = =Like us orangutans are mammals,so they start as an egg and the mother gives birth to them after about nine months. Most young orangutans grow up with only the company of their mum. The mum teaches the oranguatan eveything about looking after itself before it can survive. Female orangutans turn adults when they are nine, while male orangutans turn adults when they are fourteen. A fully grown orangutan can be as tall as 1.5 meters! They can live up to 60 years. = = = ​ = = = = = =

=Habitat = =Orangutans live in tropical rainforests. Orangutans live in tree tops or canopys. They spend a lot of time in leaves and swinging from branch to branch. = **Where do they live in the world?** ** Orangutans live in tropical rainforests in Asia. They are found mostly in Sumatra and Borneo, Indonesia, South East Asia but are also found in other rainforests around the world. It rains mostly every day in rainforests and the weather in very humid. The rain fall is at least 1750-2000 mm of rain. **  **Orangutans eat about 12kg of fruit leaves and bark each day. They spend 6-8 hours eating! Fruit are orangutans favorite food. They would also eat birds eggs, insects and small lizards. They are omnivores. An omnivore is a kind of animal that eats either other animals or plants, but not all types of plants as they can't digest tough or rough substances.**

**Predators** One of the biggest predators of orangutans is man. People hunt orangutans for goods and to sell them as pets. Orangutans protect themselves by hiding in trees and biting.


 * Interesting Facts

Orangutans arms can reach as long as 8 feet! Orangutans have lost about 80% of their habitat in the last 20 years because of chopping down the rainforest. Orangutans cover their heads with big leaves to shelter from the rain. **

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-weight: normal;">Orangutans are endangered a lot. They are endangered because people track them down for their goods and to sell them as pets. It is important to save the orangutan because otherwise there won't be any more left. I think that we should try and save the orangutan by giving money to a company that saves orangutans and put up posters so that people will know that we should save them. **
