Orangutans breed slower than any other primate and have approximately 3 offspring in their lifetime.....Female orangutans usually have one baby at a time and will only have one every 6 to 7 years.....Baby orangutans cry when they’re hungry, whimper when they’re hurt and smile at their mothers.

Orangutans brachiate (swing arm-over-arm through the forest) better than any other ape.....Orangutans are diurnal which means they are active during the day. .....Mosquitoes bother orangutans just like they do humans and they will use branches like fly swatters to swish them away......In their true habitat, male orangutans live alone and females live alone or with their infants.

Poem : The journey begins - 1


We've been waiting for you,
we’re so glad you’ve returned,
Please help us before our jungle’s all burned.

Our time here unravels faster each day,
We’re becoming expendable and hunted prey.
But what can we do?

There’s not much more time,
Our forests breathe fires ignited by crime.

It’s easy to kill or kidnap us for cash,
Why must they reduce our forests to ash,
And cage every rare creature like yesterday’s trash?

Is anyone out there or does no one care?
The bribes nourish nothing but disgust and despair.
