An orangutan is much more similar - as evidenced by the fact that BOTH the chimpanzee and the organutan are order: primates, suborder: haplorhini, family: hominidae while dogs are order: carnivora, suborder: caniformia, family: canidae.

As you can see, while they are all mammals, the divergence between the apes and the dogs starts all the way up at the "order" level of classification. Dogs are more closely related to cats and bears than they are to primates like chimpanzees and orangutans.

If behaviors are innate will animals perform them the same each time or will behavior vary from organism to organism?

Innate behaviors will typically be very similar from organism to organism, though with some variations created by their own physical and mental ability. For example, just about every cat can meow, but they can have different voices, and can learn when or how to use it. The most purely instinctual an action is, the more similar it will be between individual organisms. The slithering of a snail, for example, is virtually the same between any two snails of similar size.
