Are orangutans arboreal?

All we know is what we have seen them do. Since 1981 there have been at least seven or eight sightings of female Sumatran orangs eating smaller primates, and in three cases the researchers saw the orangs actually catch their prey. There isn't enough data to figure out whether this is a typical female behavior or whether something else was going on.

The primate order is an insectivorous order, though, generally speaking. So eating meat is not much of a stretch from that.

Being birds, they have feathers, lightweight hollow bones, loss of teeth, extremely efficient heart and circulatory system, amazing lungs and air-sac gas exchange system, water-conserving excretion system, quick brain, endothermic (warmblooded), and so on. Owls are even special for birds because they hunt live animals for food, and need extra advantages if they are going to out-smart their prey. They have two eyes on the front of their face, to see well in 3-D. Their eyes have enlarged over the ages to such a degree that the eyeball is no longer round; it is pear-shaped and fills the entire eye socket leaving no room for muscles. The retina of the eye is extremely dense with photo-receptor cells - mainly rods (more sensitive to low light) but also some cones (color vision). Ears are noticeably asymmetrical or lop-sided, to help pinpoint sounds vertically as well as horizontally. Feathers are soft, edges are comb-like, and the surface of each flight feather is fuzzy like velvet; this softness silences their flight. Face is flat to help catch sound waves and direct them towards the ears located behind the eyes under the feathers. Owls spit up "pellets" of indigestible bone and keratin-based structures (hair, feathers, claws, scales) of their prey. owl pages has some trustworthy information, illustrations, and photos they eat bananas and they only eat meat on Monday and call it meaty Monday.
