Sumatran Orangutan

The Sumatran orangutan is a critically endangered primate native to the rainforests of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Known for its reddish-brown hair, it spends most of its life high in the trees, where it forages for fruit, leaves, and insects. These intelligent, solitary creatures rely heavily on their environment for food, shelter, and nest-building. They face threats from habitat destruction due to logging, palm oil plantations, and illegal hunting. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their habitat and preventing poaching, aiming to ensure the survival of this rare and highly intelligent species for future generations.
