How does a fetal pig get its oxygen and get rid of its waste?
Through the placental tissues that join the mother's bodily systems to her fetuses' systems. The umbilical cord is connected to the placenta, which aids in this transmission process, and the placenta is connected to a vast network of capillaries and blood vessels in the sow's uterus and uterine horns which flow throughout the sow, supplying blood and oxygen to her babies and exterminating wastes that are expelled by the fetuses.

How fast can a orangutan swing?
At speeds of up to 25-30 mph depending on location , gradient etc
however usually they are slow because they have a mental map of the forest , unlike say a gibbon who is far faster but does not share this mental power.

What is the story of monkey and the crocodile?
One stormy day a monkey was standing by the shore of a river, wondering how he could get to the other side. He could not get over by himself; for the water was deep, and he did not know how to swim. He looked about for some logs; but all he saw was a large crocodile with its mouth wide open, ready to seize him. He was very much frightened; but he said, "O Mr. Crocodile! pray, do not kill me! Spare my life, and I will lead you to a place where you can get as many monkeys as will feed you all your life."
The crocodile agreed, and the monkey said that the place was on the other side of the river. So the crocodile told him to get on his back, and he would carry him across. Just before they reached the bank, the monkey jumped to land, ran as fast as he could, and climbed up a tree where his mate was. The crocodile could not follow, of course: so he returned to the water, saying, "The time will come when you shall pay."
Not long afterwards the monkey found the crocodile lying motionless, as if dead. About the place were some low Chile pepper-bushes loaded with numerous bright-red fruits like ornaments on a Christmas tree. The monkey approached the crocodile, and began playing with his tail; but the crocodile made a sudden spring, and seized the monkey so tightly that he could not escape. "Think first, think first!" said the monkey. "Mark you, Mr. Crocodile! I am now the cook of his Majesty the king. Those bright-red breads have been intrusted to my care," and the monkey pointed to the pepper-shrubs. "The moment you kill me, the king will arrive with thousands of well-armed troops, and will punish you."
The crocodile was frightened by what the monkey said. "Mr. Monkey, I did not mean to harm you," he said. "I will set you free if you will let me eat only as many pieces of bread as will relieve my hunger."
"Eat all you can," responded the monkey kindly. "Take as many as you please. They are free to you."
Without another word, the crocodile let the monkey go, and rushed at the heavily-laden bushes. The monkey slipped away secretly, and climbed up a tree, where he could enjoy the discomfiture of his voracious friend. The crocodile began to cough, sneeze, and scratch his tongue. When he rushed to the river to cool his mouth, the monkey only laughed at him.

Apes come in a range of sizes. The smallest of them, gibbons, can weigh only 3.9 kilograms, while an adult gorilla, the largest of apes, can weigh up to 200 kilograms. Each group of apes has a different weight range. Averaged together, they weigh around 92 kilograms high, 57 kilograms low. (This excludes unusually large and small sizes.)
