ORANGATANS
        Sometimes orangatans look bored and dopey, but their minds are always on the alert.  If they would get hold of a key, they would hide it untill their owner goes away.  Then, they would try to undo the lock on their cage!
       
       
        Orangatans from Sumatra look different from the ones from Borneo.  Their hair is a lighter color, and the cheek flaps of the Sumatraian orangs are flat, while Bornean orangs' cheek flaps come forward a little bit.
        Orangatans have very long childhoods.  They stay close to mom untill they are about 8 years old.  The little orangs learn how to live on their own, what good foods to eat, and how to groom by watching what mom does.
