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. |
