They are very intelligent and spend most of time in trees. Orangutans, as well as gorillas, chimpanzees, and Bonobos, are close relatives of man. They inhabit much of Southern Asia, yet are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. Orangutans - Quick Facts Scientific Name: Pongo pygmaeus Subspecies: Bornean Orangutan Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus ; Sumatran Orangutan Pongo pygmaeus abelii Height: 3.5-4.5 feet Weight: 110-200 pounds Life Span: About 35 years in the wild. Status: Endangered Orangutans - Description Called a "forest man," the Orangutan is close to humans in its characteristics. This large ape has a human-like face. The coat is long and coarse. It varies in color from red to orange and chocolate. A bare face is one of the most prominent Orangutan characteristics. It is bluish-black in adults and tends to be pinkish on the muzzle and the area around the eyes in the young. There are two subspecies of the Orangutan: the Bornean and the Sumatran Orangutan. They are easily distinguished by appearance. Thus, a Bornean Orangutan male has fatty cheek flanges. The muzzle is round. A Sumatran male's face is long and oval. Besides, the subspecies has a prominent mustache and beard.

Mead is the oldest known alcoholic beverage, and is produced from the fermentation of honey. Mead, like wine, can often take years to produce when shooting for high quality, robust, varieties and it only gets better with age. Nothing to see here, move along. This was a statue long before the woman and the snakes showed up. Move along.

The Malay word for orangutan is maias or mawas (Rijksen 1993). MORPHOLOGY Genetically diverging 1.5 million years ago, phenotypic differences between the two species of orangutan are apparent. Sumatran orangutans are thinner than their Bornean relatives, have paler red coats, longer hair, and longer faces. Adult males have mustaches and prominent cheek pads, called flanges, that are covered with fine, white hair. Both sexes have long beards (Courtenay et al. 1988; Rowe 1996). Bornean orangutans have coarse, long hair that can be orange, brown, or maroon. Infants are born with pink faces but as they age, the pigment changes to dark brown or almost black skin. Males have large, pendulous throat pouches and, compared to the Sumatran species, their cheek pads are markedly larger, covered in short bristly hair (Courtenay et al. 1988; Rowe 1996). Males and females of both species are highly

In May, we learned about Land Rover's partnership with Earthwatch . Now we discover they've also been hangin' with orangutans. Land Rover has announced they will sponsor the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS), a group that runs the world's largest primate rescue project. Like with Earthwatch, Land Rover is giving BOS a free Defender for the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Reintroduction Project in Central Kalimantan. It's only one vehicle for the 631 orangutans there, but I think these primates are pretty good at sharing. Other Land Rover conservation partners include: Royal Geographical Society (RGS), China Exploration and Research Society (CERS), Born Free Foundation and Biosphere Expeditions.

HOME CONTACT US Home Scientific Research Orangutan Research SEARCH ORANGUTAN RESEARCH Scientists at Great Ape Trust are exploring the abilities of orangutans to use symbols and syntax to express their thoughts. The orangutans are learning to use a symbol-based language that is presented on a computer monitor. The monitor screen has large "buttons" that are big enough for orangutan fingers. The dictionary available on the monitor contains about 70 symbols. All symbols are abstract and have no visual relation to what they represent. There are seven categories of symbols, each containing ten individual symbols. The categories are: foods, non-food objects, proper names of people, proper names of orangutans, verbs, adjectives and arabic numbers. Each category of symbols has its own specific exterior shape. For example, a rectangle alone means "food" and a circle alone means "non-food object." Individually, the interior components of each symbol are meaningless. It's the arrangement within the exterior shape that gives each symbol a specific meaning. In addition to the major categories, there are symbols that mean "send," "clear," "yes/good," and "no/wrong." The dictionary can be expanded as the orangutans learn more symbols. The orangutans participate in this project on a voluntary basis. The animals are never coerced into working by being deprived of food, companionship, play time or anything else.

The grown women who fall into their orbit are usually drunks or hookers or nut jobs (one of the good ones has a protrusion on her back in the shape of a sickle).

Custom Dictionaries Translation Services Word Databases Dictionaries/Grammars ... Send this Page to a Friend! Search Website: Our Sponsors Ionic Air Purifiers Denver Colorado Architect English Dictionary Online Casino ... Printable Version Pronunciation: Hear it! Part of Speech: Noun Meaning: A large, very placid arboreal ape (Pongo pygmaeus) with long red hair and long arms, still found in the jungles of Borneo and Sumatra though no longer in other habitats, such as Java and the Southeast Asian mainland. Notes: The pronunciation of this word often trips up speakers: the temptation to repeat the [ng] of the second syllable in the final one is often too strong for US speakers. Merriam-Webster has even given in and listed orangutang as an acceptable spelling. American Heritage allows orangoutang , indicating some confusion even among the experts. We suggest that we stick with the original, explained in the Word History. In Play: If we are going to use this word, we had better hurry. The numbers of these delightful, relaxed cousins are rapidly diminishing: "The expansion of the lumber business in Southeast Asia is threatening all of the orangutans' habitats." Now they have tsunamis to contend with, too. Soon they may only inhabit zoos: "The orangutan and I watched each other at the zoo this afternoon but it wasn't clear who was the exhibit and who, the spectator." Word History: Very unfortunately, few good words have come out of Malaysia lately, so this one is in homage to those suffering from the tsunami there. In Malaysian orang means "man" and utan means "forest" giving us "man of the forest". Interestingly, however, this term in Malay usually refers to a wild or uncivilized person and not to what we call an orangutan. The Malays prefer calling this animal a

50. Sumatran Orangutan, Pongo Abelii - Top 25 Most Endangered Primates Sumatran and Bornean (Pongo pygmaeus Linnaeus, 1760) orangutans, now recognized as two distinct species, comprise the genus Pongo. http://www.primate-sg.org/abelii07.htm

Sumatran Orangutan Pongo abelii Lesson, 1827 Indonesia (Sumatra) Sumatran and Bornean ( Pongo pygmaeus Linnaeus, 1760) orangutans, now recognized as two distinct species, comprise the genus Pongo . While there are considered to be three subspecies of P. pygmaeus , the Sumatran orangutan is regarded as a single taxonomic unit. The viability of all taxa is in question, but the Sumatran orangutan faces a more immediate extinction risk than the Bornean, and is considered Critically Endangered. The species is endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia, and is now entirely restricted to remaining lowland forests in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) and North Sumatra Provinces. About 7,000 individuals remain (based largely on 2002 satellite imagery), surviving in 13 fragmented habitat units stretching from northern NAD, south to the Batang Toru River in North Sumatra, with a notable gap in their distribution immediately west of Lake Toba. The southernmost populations may be genetically and culturally distinct from their more northern relatives. The largest populations live within NAD province, where until recently, a separatist conflict made monitoring and conservation work problematic. By far the most significant populations, totaling about 5,600 animals, are found within the Leuser Ecosystem, a 26,000 km² conservation area established by presidential decree that encompasses the smaller Gunung Leuser National Park (10,950 km²; itself part of the Sumatran Rainforest World Heritage Site) and the 1,025 km² Singkil Swamps Wildlife Reserve within its boundaries. The Ecosystem and the national park within it form the only conservation area of note where viable wild populations of the Sumatran orangutan, Sumatran tiger, Sumatran rhinoceros and Sumatran elephant, each of which is endangered in itself, still occur living side by side.

The jawbone from the new hominoid, named Khoratpithecus piriyai, is similar to the lower jaw, or mandible, of modern orangutans.

"Long before it's in the papers" September 11, 2007 RETURN TO THE WORLD SCIENCE HOME PAGE Orangutan communication resembles “charades” Aug. 1, 2007 Courtesy Current Biology and World Science staff When orang­u­tans use ges­tures to com­mu­ni­cate, they use the same bas­ic strat­e­gy that peo­ple fol­low in play­ing the game cha­rades, re­search­ers have found.  In cha­rades, peo­ple act out a word or phrase with­out speak­ing. For ex­am­ple, “foot­ball” could be bro­ken down in­to “foot” and “bal­l.” Play­ers com­pete over who can get oth­ers to un­der­stand them most quick­ly. To help, play­ers of­ten al­so give their lis­ten­ers hints to how closely they’ve come to get­ting it. They tend to re­peat sig­nals that seem to be work­ing while stop­ping those that are cre­at­ing con­fu­sion. In a si­m­i­lar vein, cap­tive orang­u­tans in­ten­tion­ally mod­i­fy or re­peat hand or oth­er sig­nals based on the suc­cess or fail­ure of a first at­tempt, a new study finds. The re­search ap­pears in the Aug. 2 is­sue of the re­search jour­nal Cur­rent Bi­ol­o­gy “We were sur­prised that the orang­u­tans’ re­sponses so clearly sig­naled their as­sess­ment of the au­di­ence’s com­pre­hen­sion,” said Rich­ard Byrne of The Un­ivers­ity of St. An­drews, Scot­land, one of the re­search­ers. “Look­ing at the tapes of the an­i­mal’s re­sponses, you can easily work out wheth­er the orang­u­tan thinks it has been ful­ly, par­tially, or not un­der­stood.”
