A Video Of Orang Utans

Taken from You Tube, this video is about the Orang Utans playing with learning toys donated by an Australian company. The coloured balls are filled with nuts and berries to help the Orang Utans learn to search for food. Enjoy!

  1. Hi Puteri & Syazwani

    Orangutans are critically endangered in the wild because of rapid deforestation and the expansion of palm oil plantations. If nothing is done to protect them, they could be extinct in just a few years!

    I'd like to invite you to visit the Orangutan Outreach website to learn more about how YOU can make a difference!

    Thanks!

Locomotion Of Orangutans


Orangutans usually move by swinging from one branch to another; this is called brachiating. Orangutans can also walk using their legs (but rarely do). Orangutans do not swim.

Life Span Of Orangutans

Orangutans live about 50 years in captivity.

Their life span in the wild is only 30-45 years (like most animals, they live longer in captivity).

Population Of Orangutans

Orangutans are an endangered species. They are decreasing in numbers quickly as they lose habitat to people. If we don't protect them now, I wonder if the next generation will ever know about orangutans.

Further aggravating the problem, baby orangutans are caught and sold around the world as pets.
