Orangutans
In zoos, orangutans learn to copy things we do. They are able to saw wood and hammer nails!
Orangutan means 'person of the forest'. It is a good name, because the orange apes do not like to leave the treetops.
Orangutans swing through the trees using their long arms, looking for ripe fruit to eat.
When it rains, orangutans hold a large leaf over their head as an umbrella.
Each evening they bend branches to build a new nest of leaves to sleep in.
Most orangutans live on their own, but mothers go everywhere with their babies.
A baby shares its mother's nest every night for eight years!
The larger male orangutans spend more time on the forest floor.
You can tell a male by his unusual cheek pads.
