Orangutans – one of two genera of Asian apes (another kind – gibbons). These monkeys live in the tropical forests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Compared with a gorilla, orangutan African counterpart, monkey traits he pronounced. Long forelimbs, hind shorter than that of a gorilla, hands and feet with long curved fingers are like huge hooks. With their help, you can pick the fruit or hang on a branch, but not anymore. For complex actions of his hand does not fit.

Every adult male has a territory in which lives a few females. Loud cries host warns rivals that it is his possession. If a stranger still wandered into foreign territory, begin showdown.
