genus pongo
Genus Pongo refers to a group of great apes under the taxonomic ranking system known as 'genus'. This genus includes two species of orangutans, the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) and the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii). These mammals are native to Borneo and Sumatra, respectively, and are characterized by their arboreal lifestyle, high degree of intelligence, long arms, and distinctive reddish-brown hair. The specific characteristic that distinguishes the orangutans under the Genus Pongo is that they are the only surviving species of the subfamily Ponginae, which also included several other types of Ape.
