Orang Utan, Sepilok
Bornean Orang-Utan – Sabah, Borneo’s Most Famous Resident
Perhaps more than any other animal, the Orang Utan is synonymous with Borneo. The Bornean Orang-utan is endemic to Borneo. Here it can be found in lowland and medium elevation rainforest.

The Orang Utans appeal is instant. Look into an infant orang-utans face and it is like looking in to a child’s eyes. We share over 96% of our DNA with orang-utans, so they may not be our closest relative but they are close enough.
The Orang Utan is primarily tree dwelling (it is the world’s largest tree dwelling animal). It’s forearms are 30% longer than its legs and both hands and feet are equally adept at gripping.
They can travel large areas in one day foraging for food – on average around 1,000m a day. They are solitary creatures and will travel alone, except when with offspring. Read the rest of this entry »
