| In fact, actually compared to chimpanzees and gorillas the orangutans are really much more endangered. |
|
| The plight of the orangutans is very moving and we felt the foundation would be a very appropriate place to raise funds for. |
|
| Besides the more well-known gorillas, the zoo is home to two families of chimpanzees and a pair of orangutans. |
|
| The main issue that orangutans face is the loss of their tropical rain forest habitat. |
|
| Binocular lenses pointed at an orangutan can look like 'big eyes' and orangutans sometimes seem to find this uncomfortable. |
|
| Orangutan sites must strive towards a zero-poaching goal to protect habituated orangutans. |
|
| An estimated 1,000 orangutans are killed due to palm oil production every year and the species is expected to become extinct in five to 10 years. |
|
| Some 50,000 orangutans have now died because of deforestation due to palm oil. |
|
| In addition to disrupting their behaviour, this can annoy orangutans and evoke threats or more serious aggression. |
|
| Tourists should never be allowed to leave their vehicle or boat to pursue orangutans on foot. |
|
| Also limit the use of flash photography as this may also affect the orangutans. |
|
| Orangutan offspring stay with their mothers until they're seven or eight years old, but orangutans are on the lower end of the sociability scale among great apes. |
|
| Within a few decades, orangutans, Asian elephants, Sumatran tigers, Chilean flamingos, Amur leopards, and many other well-known species will likely disappear from the wild. |
|
| Although orangutans live solitary lives most of the time, they have a complex social structure and are characterized by extreme sexual dimorphism. |
|
| Chimpanzee families really have something to screech about now that they, along with a pair of orangutans, have moved into new premises at the Johannesburg Zoo. |
|
| Animal life includes the one-horned rhinoceros of Java, orangutans, miniature deer, atlas moths and the brilliantly coloured, flightless bird of paradise. |
|
| Visitors should not under any circumstances move to or stay in a location that puts them between two orangutans, especially a mother and her infant or a male and his female consort. |
|
| Their survival will depend on whether we manage to curb the habitat fragmentation, poaching and disease which threaten the remaining gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans. |
|
| Bornean and Sumatran Orangutans: Orangutan tourism was launched in Sepilok, Malaysia, in the 1960s, although it has focused on rehabilitant orangutans at or near rehabilitation centres. |
|
| He has also been involved in conservation programmes for orangutans, elephants, proboscis monkeys and the elusive slow loris. |
|
|
|
| As a result, Indonesia's tropical forest habitat is being destroyed at an unprecedented rate, substantially increasing extinction risk for orangutans and other species dependent on that habitat. |
|
| For example, orangutans are found in the Tanjung Puting Biosphere Reserve in Indonesia, while chimpanzees and gorillas inhabit the Dja Biosphere Reserve in Cameroon. |
|
| Biruté's son, Binti Paul, grew up with orangutans as his friends. |
|
| Tourism managers should impose rules to stop the feeding of free-ranging orangutans by both tourists and guides, and indeed prohibit the carrying of any food into the forest. |
|
| Malaysia has one of the most incredible biodiversity in the world ranging from tigers, tapirs, rhinos and elephants in its peninsular parts to orangutans, proboscis monkeys and pygmy elephants in Malaysian Borneo. |
|
| We would wrap our arms around each other and suck face like orangutans in his little red Fiero. |
|
| The interbreeding came after this time. The researchers, along with other scientists across the world, are now working to sequence the complete genome of other close relatives to humans, including gorillas and orangutans. |
|
| Sure, Seneca 10s will probably feel stiffer than Jacks Canyon 10s but those are apples and orangutans. Old 8s and 9s can be plain old awkweird and hard, respectively. |
|
| Orangutans are taxonomically classified as two distinct subspecies, the Bornean and the Sumatran. |
|
| Orangutans, gorillas, and their ape relatives, meanwhile, will ineffectually thrash around in deep water or simply gurgle and sink. |
|
| Orangutans and bonobos will be the first to go, then gorillas, and finally chimpanzees. |
