Orangutans are large, intelligent primates native to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. They are known for their distinctive reddish-brown hair and long arms, which help them swing through the trees. These solitary animals spend most of their lives in the canopy, where they build nests to sleep and raise their young. Orangutans are highly intelligent and have been observed using tools, such as sticks to extract insects from tree bark. Unfortunately, they are critically endangered due to habitat loss from deforestation and illegal wildlife trade. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these remarkable creatures and their habitats.
