Orangutans: Behavior, Communication, and Reproduction

Orangutans, native to Indonesia and Malaysia, are known for their intelligence, long arms, and reddish-brown fur. They evolved from a common ancestor with gibbons 14 million years ago. Orangutans live in rainforests, spending most of their lives in trees to avoid predators. They use tools and have a varied diet. Socially, they are solitary but communicate through vocalizations and body language. Mating occurs once a year, with females focusing on offspring care. Young orangutans stay with their mothers until they mature, learning essential survival skills.
