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.
