Best Answer

For orangutan's diet, they rely on primarily fruit, with young leaves, bark, flowers, insects, and bird's eggs are also eaten. One of their preferred foods is the fruit of the durian tree, which tastes somewhat like sweet, cheesy garlic custard. They discard the skin, eat the flesh and swallow the seeds. The seeds are then deposited in the feces to grow into fruit bearing trees in another part of the forest.
