Face View of an Orangutan

From the Exotic Wildlife collection

#46605 Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus)
The orangutan's habitat is now limited to the tropical forests of Borneo and Sumatra.  It is arboreal-meaning it rarely leaves its treetop home-and it feeds on fruits, bark, shoots, and flowers.  After a gestation period of 233-236 days, a mother gives birth to a single infant that she nurses and cares for lovingly.
