After an exciting weekend filled with Super Bowl parties, chicken wings and beer, it is time to get back to our regular scheduled programming. And for us at Wild Facts, that means we get to look at another interesting animal.\u00a0 On this beautiful Monday, full of hope and optimism, we are going to study the Orangutan.\u00a0 Does anyone know what “Orangutan” means?\u00a0 Well, it is a Malay word which means “Person of the Forest”, which makes sense considering they are closely related to humans.<\/p>\n

Orangutans are only found in Borneo and Sumatra and just happen to be the largest living arboreal animal.\u00a0 The long arms of the Orangutan may be one of their most noticeable features (that and their orange hair).\u00a0 In fact, their arms are so long that outstretched arms for a male Orangutan can measure 2 m (7′) in length (from fingertip to fingertip).\u00a0 This is impressive considering their height is only about\u00a0 1.5 m (5′).\u00a0 Basically, this tells you that the ape’s arms are practically touching the ground when they are just standing around.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, the Orangutan is the largest arboreal animal living on earth today.\u00a0 Believe it or not they will spend about 90% of their time hanging out in the tree tops.\u00a0 They have no problems sleeping in leafy-branch nests that can be found throughout the trees.\u00a0 Even cooler is the fact that these primates will utilize the large leaves to protect themselves from rainstorms.\u00a0 How about that, the Orangutan has invented an umbrella!<\/p>\n

Unlike many other primates, the Orangutan tends to be more of a solitary creature.\u00a0 This is especially true for the males who spend the majority of their lives by themselves.\u00a0 To make sure they don’t end up in each others personal space the males will make rumbling and howling calls as they move about the forest.\u00a0 The long howl can actually be heard up to 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) away.\u00a0 I guess you would never have to worry about being surprised by an Orangutan.<\/p>\n

Orangutan Fast Fact – <\/strong>Unfortunately, due to the isolated area and heavy reliance on forests, the Orangutan is considered to be endangered as a result of habitat destruction and hunting pressures.\u00a0 If you would like to help then I recommend visiting the following websites:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.orangutan.com\/how-to-help\/<\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.orangutan.org\/how-to-help<\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.orangutan.ca\/<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, there are plenty of opportunities to help so don’t be shy.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the rest of your Monday, folks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
