Native to the island of Borneo, this great ape was officially recognized as a distinct species in 1996, separating it from the Sumatran variety. The name “orangutan” comes from the Malay words orang (person) and hutan (forest), which translates to “person of the forest”.
These animals possess 32 teeth, featuring prominent canines, and have the longest snout among all great apes. Mature males typically reach twice the body mass of females and often grow large, fleshy cheek pads known as flanges.
