Summary[edit]

Description The Bornean male has large cheek pads a very large laryngeal sac and his face is square shaped. The Sumatran male has a more diamond shaped face with smaller cheek pads and sac. Genetically they both have 47 chromosomes; however there are several which are distinctly different that separates them into 2 separate subspecies. They have massive jaws and their large flat cheek teeth are specialized for tearing, grinding and opening shells. Orangutans spend their lives in the tropical forest canopy 20 to 100 feet off the ground. Considering the large size of the orangutan, movement from one tree or branch to another is graceful and agile, yet slow. An orangutan seldom covers more than mile in a day (1 km).
