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 - 2


Pongo Pygmaeus may soon disappear,
From Sumatra and Borneo without even a tear.

No one seems interested in preserving our lands,
The Dow Jones has many invisible hands.

We can vanish in an instant before your eyes,
Faster than the echo of the jungle’s cries,
We pray you’re not readying your last goodbyes.

Please don’t abandon us or just walk straight away,
Give us your hand or we’ll just fade away.
We’ll breathe our last breath if there’s much more delay.
