a orangutan is a type of monkey An orangutan is NOT a type of monkey. It is an ape, a type of primate more closely related to humans. Apes are larger than monkeys, and apes (unlike monkeys) have no tails. I don't know a lot about orangutangs in folklore, but I do remember hearing something about orangutangs kidnapping human women to be their brides. Also of interest is the orang-pendek, a small orange Southeast-Asian cryptid.
