Orangutan
The orangutan, "Man of the Woods," is a native of the islands of
Borneo and Sumatra. Mainly a vegetarian, an adult male orangutan
is around 4 feet tall and weighs between 150 and 200 pounds.
The orangutan travels through the trees of the jungle by
swinging from limb to limb on his massive arms. His armspread
(up to 7 feet) enables him to travel faster than a man can run
on the jungle floor below. The only predators that dare attack
the orangutan are the crocodile and python, and they are rarely
successful. Orangutans are very intelligent and can be taught to
perform many human-like activities.
