Orangutans are endangered animals despite their cute looks we almost resemble these beautiful apes |
The Young Orangutan
The mother orangutan is her offspring’s first real playmate. She finds snails and round fruit to amuse him and encourages him to frisk and leap about. She teaches him to make his way slowly down the damp tree trunks, to catch lizards, to steal eggs from nests, to drive insects from their nests, and to recognize the places where necessary
Orangutans sped most of their lives in trees and with powerful hands and legs they have no need to comedown as they get most of their food up there |
The new-born orangutan weighs a kilo gram, or slightly more, and from the day he is born he is able to hold on by himself, to the shaggy hair of his mother’s chest. This contact provides warmth and a sense of protection. During the four years of his long infancy, the young orangutan behaves almost like a human baby: when frightened, he cries; when annoyed, he is bad humored; and when happy, he kisses his mother’s face for a full half-hour.
Baby orangutans always cling to their mothers as they feed holding tightly to the tits as they swing from one tree to another |
Early in life he eats plants which his mother chews up for him and transfers from her mouth to his. When he is one year old, he can feed by himself on fruit, buds and tender leaves. In three years’ time he runs rapidly on all fours and, if necessary, stands up on his hind legs for a few minutes. Though he is able to find his way in the dense Indonesian jungle, now and then he gets lost; but if his mother hears his cries for help, she will rescue him.
Have you ever wondered why people would want to have orangutans as pets Do they really know what it takes to be the Man of the forest? |
To develop young muscles and a sense of balance, the mother pushes her two- or three-month-old orangutan on to a branch, having first tested its strength, for a first lesson in jungle gymnastics.
Orangutans are the only wild animals which have perfected the art of Gymnastics |
The animals of Asia that live
in the tropical Asian forests and specially the orangutans in Borneo
and orangutans found in Sumatra and all the wildlife of the world have always
been a beauty of any natural habitat. Monkeys and chimpanzees in the African rain forest have seen their good days and their bad days as well. The Congo
forest with its amazing silver back gorillas is facing an extinction of the
different money species, chimpanzee, gorillas and other wild rare exotic animal
species despite the fact the fact that beautiful African animals safaris in Kenya
South Africa and many of the Savannah habitat in African is known for its great
silver back gorillas, the African Big cats and the African big five animals or Kenya
big 5.
What does it take for an orangutan to be ab endangered animal |
As far as the Asian wild animals and the ape family is concerned, the orangutan is the most beautiful great ape that which inhabits the deep dangerous forests of the Asian continent where different wildlife species are found in different animal habitat with animals found in different habitats such as the hot and cold deserts of Asia, the cold regions and the ice caped mountains of the Himalayas as well.
Why are orangutan endangered and how are the orangutans endangered? Are these orangutans facing extinction or there are no facts about orangutans which can help explain the plight of the orangutans in the different orangutan’s habitats in many parts of the world? If there is information about these beautiful orangutans which person keep as pets and use some of the orangutan’s body parts such as the orangutans skill, is there any thing substantial which can be done to save these orangutans? These are just some of the frequently asked questions about orangutans whether they are in the wild or these orangutans are in captivity.
With a lot of habitat loss orangutans are left with little natural habitat in the wild and become prone to illegal animal poaching and hunting |
Many animals are becoming extinct in Asia and as far as the different causes for such a degradation or reduction in the number of animal species is concerned, illegal animal poaching and trade in animal body parts is just one of the main causes why some of these orangutans are becoming endangered as well as many of the wild animal species in Asia. If Africa has faced and is still facing these viscous cycles of land degradation and loss of habitat loss for most of its wild life and animals in the wild as a whole, the Borneo orangutans and the Sumatra orangutans are having the same problem as far as the plight of the orangutans is concerned.
Whether it’s the civil wars in these regions or just the conflict between man and animals is just one of the greatest animal fact for a cause of animals being endangered and a reason for animals to be come extinct. The orangutans in the wild within the great forest of Borneo and Sumatra have little breeding grounds and feeding grounds in their habitat which is mostly composed of the tropical Asian forest habitat.
Orangutans need to be saved, their skulls their fur, their meet their babies is just not worth as these animals are fit to be wild in the wild. cute pic |
In the Congo forest, the endless civil wars forced people to find refuge in these forests of Africa and the chain in change of habitat for many of the wild animals were forced to move deeper in the forest. While many of the people who took refuge in such forests found animals which they could hunt easily and store, day in and day out these tropical rain forests were been reduced and illegally poached in large numbers as there was no organ of the different governing bodies to keep a check on the plight of the animals while the plight of humans themselves already was at stake. In this beautiful part of Asia and with its great forests, the orangutan habitat forest is stretching back at a very alarming rate. habitat.

The need for food crops, timber and road construction and the general habitat of man has diminished most of the orangutans’ natural habitat. As a matter of fact, people who venture into the wild have found ways of catching these orangutans and removing them from their natural habitat. Keeping orangutans as pets has been one of the most promising business for many farmers and other few people who have vested interest in animals as they find loopholes in the existing animal protection systems in these great forests which need to be manned but with few and little resources at their disposal.
Orangutan attacks conflicts with farmers If orangutans eat the farmer’s crops, they are captured or killed. What is the main reason for all this? It’s the humans who are to blame as they are the ones who in the first place became adventurous and ventured into the enchanted territories of the orangutans. Had people not opted for such easy to get land grabbing ideas with no systems of checks and balances, the orangutan and other primates and apes would not have been endangered and some of the world animals such as the Javan rhino would not have become extinct as well.What is the most amazing fact about orangutans?
the orangutans that are taken from the wild end up as pets and live a miserable life in captivity |
A very happy cute baby orangutan swinging in the tree |
Is it because people like orangutans because the hair of an orangutan is reddish brown or is it because some of the most amazing interesting news about orangutans such as this: Denver Zoo veterinarians called on local doctors to help save Sally the orangutan, who had an infected tumor in her uterus. "It just warmed your heart. I felt honored and privileged. To look back at your life one day and say, 'I was able to help this endangered species.”
"If doctors who have no knowledge of operating on an orangutan find ways and means of saving the lives of these orangutans which are endangered animals already why not the common man? What do people really know about the population of orangutans? Is it stagnant or has it gone down. Are the numbers of orangutan sightings increasing or decreasing with conflicts with man? As far as the general population of orangutans in the wild is concerned, the population if orangutans is about 30,000 orangutans. If that is a big population for the orangutan or ape species, where is there a hue and cry? Is it because the people who adopt take these baby orangutans and sell them as pets deprive the orangutan the basic life necessities to live in the wild and die in the wild like any other orangutan which have roamed the beautiful Asian habitat.

There is always something cute and funny about these cute orangutan baby hair |
With little facts about the orangutan’s population being sketchy just like any other animal population in the wild in Africa Europe Australia and within the Amazon forest the orangutans are endangered and with the change in environment and weather conditions such as floods earth quakes and tsunamis, the orangutans just like any other wild animal in this earth will keep on facing and experiencing these unforeseen changes and keep on adopting with it and at the same time as may more orangutan pets keep on flooding the different orangutan homes and zoos of the world might as well increase on the awareness of the orangutans as well.
Doctors Save Orangutan

Doctors at the University of Colorado didn’t expect to have an orangutan on their operating table. The 44-year-old primate from the Denver Zoo was suffering from anemia and had a large infected tumor in her uterus. So zoo vets called on the local docs for help. The Denver Post has the details: REPORTER: “Six hours of surgery and a team of five doctors assisted by zoo veterinarians.” VET: “It was the job of the surgeons to go through and dissect out and separate the different organs” REPORTER: “No road map to help them.” DOCTOR: “Even Google couldn’t pull up anything about orangutan anatomy.” Specialists in gynecology and oncology in charge of the surgery knew it wouldn't be easy to operate on their furry patient.

They told KUSA the biggest challenge they faced was the potential loss of blood. "There's not a blood bank for the orangutan, so that would be a case where in order to get blood, they would have had to find her closest relative in another zoo” The six-hour surgery turned out to be a success and, six weeks later, the doctors returned to find a back-to-normal Sally. One doctor told the Post she’ll never forget this operation. “ It just warmed your heart. I felt honored and privileged. To look back at your life one day and say, ‘I was able to help this endangered species.’ In the wild the orangutan uses its natural instinct to nature its young ones and provide all the protection until the young or baby orangutans re able to fend for themselves and also to socialize freely but how do you expect a human being to adopt an orangutan without even the knowledge of keeping a cat or even a small dog?
I wonder where we baby orangutans are being taken. Are we going to the zoo or are we being re introduced to the wild or are we being sold as pets? That scares me |
The most beautiful orangutan baby and mother |
With great wild animals such as the orangutan comes great responsibility as well. Orangutans are animals which are used to trees. If you think the African leopard is a babe in the African Savannah woods, the orangutans are babes in the Sumatran and Bornean orangutan’s habitat. These beautiful apes despite the fact that they are found in different regions, they are almost related to each other and have managed to adapt to their living environment as well.
Orangutan physical characteristics
Just like the mountain gorilla and the silverback the Borneo orangutans have somehow a big body as well. The typical shape and size of the orangutan is a bit bulky and large. As far as the neck is concerned, the orangutan’s neck is strong and thick due to the long arms and energy needed to support the orangutan while moving and jumping from tree to tree.
Orangutans provide all the basic care to their kids whether these cute babies are in captivity, the mother orangutan gives the perfect milk to feed |
Where in the world do you find orangutan grooming services for free |
While most of the day the orangutan spends on the trees the survival of the orangutan depends mostly on its ability to hang on trees and hence the orangutan unlike any other apes, the orangutan has the strongest arms in the world and with no straight legs like humans but having very powerful bowed legs which also act like hands for grasping and dangling among the branches of trees and even to be able to hung upside down. If you think chimpanzees are amazing animals, wait until you see an orangutan hanging upside down and spinning around. It’s just a thing which people who have ventured into the wild to see these beautiful orangutans in their habitat can really explain how amazing orangutans are.
Most orangutans are four to five feet long. To some extent, some orangutans can reach a length of about six feet. The adult male orangutan’s can weigh about 100 and 200 pounds and adult female orangutans can weigh about 65 and 100 pounds. In general orangutans have some of the most amazing arms which can reach five feet long.
Baby orangutan don't worry my eyes are on you one day you will realize how endangered we are |
What are the advantages of an animal to have a tail? Is it to chase away flies or is it used to mark the territory or area where it is standing? Well for the elephant, the tail is mostly used to chase away flies and mostly to locate the baby elephant which might be following behind and as a way of holding to. Why then don’t orangutans have tails? Is it because their long hands are just perfect to chase flies and to scratch anybody part which might be itchy? Well the orangutan just like the silver back gorilla does not have a tail as well.
Which animal is mostly related to the orangutan? As far as the face of the orangutan is concerned, the orangutan has a face which is almost similar to a baboon and a gorilla. Despite the fact that the orangutan’s body is mostly covered with long reddish-brown hair and grey-black skin baboons and gorillas have a black skin or black hair. Just like the gorilla, the orangutan has a large head with somehow a big mouth which has always been a musing when some of the pet chimpanzees which have been trained are appear in national television doing different types of tricks and in many circuses all over the world. The orangutans in many zoos as well give a clear picture as to how the beautiful animals can also be intelligent.
If people have hair on their faces while some people have no hair, orangutans also are apes which don’t have hair on their faces but as far as orangutan males are concerned, these kings of the Bornean forest can develop some hair on their upper lip which gives them the perfect animal moustache.

Why in the world are we living in the world like this? Is it the fame of having a pet orangutan or is it just a way of putting more and more videos of orangutan on the internet ever day just to get over one million orangutan vies in a day. Well I am sure there has to be something which needs to be done about it for all those people who are having orangutans as pets or baby orangutans as pets as well.

Do you think orangutans can live properly in the wild? How big a cage can you build for an orangutan? Why would you want to coop a huge animal which wants to spend all its life in the trees day in day out come rain come sun shine? Would you like to be a slave in this modern age where every animal is born free with all animal rights and human rights there to protect? Lets all love all animals in order to save all.
