Bornean Orangutan

The Bornean orangutan is a primate native to the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It has distinctive reddish-brown hair and long limbs, adapted for a tree-dwelling lifestyle. Bornean orangutans are known for their intelligence and complex behaviors, using tools and demonstrating problem-solving skills. They primarily eat fruits but also consume leaves, bark, and insects. Sadly, they are critically endangered due to habitat loss from logging, palm oil plantations, and hunting. Conservation efforts are vital to protect their remaining populations and preserve their natural habitat for future generations.
