All about orangutans
Orangutans are large apes that live in southeast Asia (on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra). These apes mostly live in trees (they are arboreal) and swing from branch to branch using their arms.
The word orangutan means "man of the forest" in the Malay language. As its habitats are being usurped by man, the orangutan's population is decreasing and it is in grave danger of extinction.

Same as humans. Orangutans share about 97% of their genetic information with humans.
Humans
Humans and orangutans have very similar responses. Like humans, when orangutans get too cold, they start to shiver and their hair stands up to trap heat (goose bumps on humans). When they get hot, they sweat.
Oh, dude, orangutans and chimps are both primates, but chimps are actually closer to humans genetically. Like, we share about 98% of our DNA with chimps, while orangutans are a bit further away on the family tree. So, if you're looking for a closer cousin, it's the chimp, man.

An orangutan is not a monkey. It is an ape.
Female orangutans are killed by humans when they are trying to take the babies away from the orangutan. The female will do everything in her power to try and protect her young.
No. Orangutans hands are very similar to humans with five fingers. They have four fingers and an opposable thumb.
