Orangutan
Wednesday, February 11, 2009
Orang-utan (Pongo pygmaeus) occur only in Borneo and Sumatra mostly in lowland and swamp forests. Diet includes fruits, young leaves and insects. Usually solitary, but young remain with mother until 5 to 6 years of age. Forest clearance for agriculture in parts of Borneo displaced many orang-utans. Semi-wild orang-utan in Malaysia can be seen in natural forests of Sepilok Sandakan, Sabah and Semongok near Kuching in Sarawak.
