if you believe this or not but it is critically endangered but there are still 17,700 sumatran orangutans left in the wild
People are cutting down orangutans habitats to build the houses we live in.
Orangutans need to live in habitats like rain forests. Definitely a place with lots of trees.
There are 2 types of orangutans, Sumatran and Borneonand they are native to Indonesia and Malaysia.
Some zoo keepers keep orangutans in the zoo.
The Sumatran species is in the worst ecological position and is listed as critically endangered, while the Bornean species is listed as an endangered species.
B/c the forests where they live are being cut down to make room for human activities
only when the the have young nerby or the female is pregnant
They are animals native to Indonesia and Malaysia and currently only found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra
It is currently believed that less then 25,000 orangutans are alive in the wild today. They have a life expectancy of about 30 years but are victimized by human expansion into their habitats.
For the Sumatran Orangutan is about 60,000 but only 7,000 left in the wild. And that's only for the Sumatran orangutan
At night, orangutans sleep just like us - or at least like we should - capturing a full eight hours of sleep.
