HO-PhotoRequest@si.edu or HumanOrigins@si.edu Orangutans are great apes and one of our closest living relatives. The Smithsonian Institution’s Division of Mammals (http://vertebrates.si.edu/mammals/) houses many orangutans in its scientific collections. This specimen, USNM 143591 (http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?irn=7251576), is a male orangutan from the island of Sumatra, Indonesia (Pongo abelii). It was collected by W.L. Abbott in 1906 and weighed 65 lbs. The flash model of this orangutan femur is scaled to 50% in order to fit inside the viewer. This is a CT scan of the right femur of USNM 143591. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.   The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections of our closest living relatives, the apes, available in 3D for education and research. These slides can be used for educational purposes only. For all other uses, please contact the Human Origins Program at HO-PhotoRequest@si.edu or HumanOrigins@si.edu
