ORANGUTANS

             Orangutans are one of the cutest animals in the world. This animals are very famous in south of Asia especially Indonesia. This animal only can find in Borneo and Sumatra. But I just want to tell about orangutans that live in Borneo. The different between orangutans Sumatra are thinner than their Bornean counterparts, with paler, longer hair and more elongated faces. There are three subspecies of the Borneo they are pygmaeus pygmaeus living in the northwest, pygmaeus morio in the east, and pygmaeus wurmbii inhabitating the southwest of the island. And also they are mammal.

            The physical characteristics of orangutans are the have big body with orange hair that cover their bodies and their arms. They have two long hands and two foots. They also have small eyes and flat nose. They live in the forest. They can climb the trees.

            The food of orangutans is rambutans, jackfruits, magosteens, mangoes, figs, pandanus leaves, bark, insects, lychees and young shoots. They can find their food in the forest. This animal is special because it just look like human.

            Because these animals are almost extinct, so the government of Central Borneo made two national parks. Their name are Tanjung Puting and BOS ( Borneo Orangutans Survival). This places are for keep the orangutans from ‘Naughty Hands’. Look this picture  they are so cute rite? So if you don’t want to lose them so we have to keep them.
