Interesting fact about orang-utan
An orang-utan is expected to live in their true habitat between 35 to 50 years (when not having their lives interrupted by poachers or other humans). There are cases of orang- utans in captivity living over 50 years–but what kind of life is that? Give me 35 years of freedom instead of 50 years in a cage. Male orang-utans reach a height of approximately 4.5 feet and females about 3.5 feet tall. Orang-utans are sometimes referred to as “red apes.” Orang-utans breed slower than any other primate and have approximately 3 offspring in their lifetime. Female orang-utans usually have one baby at a time (but have been known to have twins in captivity) and will only have one every 7 to 9 years.
