Orangutans are an endangered species found in lush tropical forests of only two Southeast Asian islands; Sumatra and Borneo. Unlike other great apes, orangutans are truly arboreal, rarely leaving the trees to explore the forest floor. In fact the world orangutan literally means "man of the forest" in Malay. With long arms and strong grasping hands and feet, orangutans are well adapted for life in the trees.
Zoo Atlanta successfully breeds orangutans as one member institution of a coordinated breeding program called a Species Survival Plan. Many of the orangtans(should be orangutans) exhibited at Zoo Atlanta are on loan from the Yerkes Regional Primate Center at Emory University.
