Their diverse diet includes fruits, seeds, flowers, bird eggs, sap and vines. Females give birth to a single baby after a long pregnancy, usually once every six to eight years.
It is the largest of the three Pongo species. The species ranks as the third-largest ape after the western gorilla. It is the largest truly arboreal or tree-dwelling extant ape on earth.
They display high intelligence, tool use, and distinct cultural patterns. They are endangered due to deforestation, palm oil plantations, and hunting threaten their survival.
