Orphaned orangutans at Sepilok Reserve, Borneo-- Frans Lanting/Corbis

comments,

• Orang-utans can be found in only two places in the world, Sumatra…""…and the world\s third largest island
• These awesome apes are at the Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary, where rescued orphan babies are brought up to be released into the wild.""It must be hard letting these cute creatures leave home
• The name of these animals comes from the Malay words ‘orang\ meaning man, and ‘(h)utan\ meaning forest.""So how closely are we related to the “man of the forest”?
• Orang-utans love to dine on durian fruit.""What unappealing property does this fruit possess?
