The Bornean orangutan comes from the island of Borneo. They inhabit the lowland rain forests and montane rain forests up to an elevation of 4,900 feet. 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.
Males weigh on average 165 pounds, ranging from 110 to 220 pounds. Females average 85 pounds, ranging from 66 to 110 pounds.
They have a distinctive body shape with very long arms that reach up to 59 inches. It features gray skin, a coarse, shaggy, reddish coat, and prehensile, grasping hands and feet.
Their coat does not cover their face. Bornean orangutans have some hair on their faces, including a beard and mustache. Males are larger than females. They develop large, fatty cheek pads known as flanges and a pendulous throat sac.

Angela, the Bornean orangutan female skull replica, is taking her driving test today. She asked Andy, the Bornean orangutan, to go with her. She feels a bit nervous about passing. On their way there, they saw Hamletta, the chimpanzee female skull replica, and John Wayne, the western lowland male gorilla skull replica. Angela asked them both to join along.
Angela passed her driving test and came home to a brand new light-baby-blue, 1963 Oldsmobile 442 car parked on her driveway. A beautiful gift from her loving parents!
