  1. pongo pygmaeus

    Pongo pygmaeus, commonly known as the Bornean orangutan, is a species of orangutan native to the island of Borneo. This arboreal mammal primarily lives in trees and is distinguished by its reddish-brown hair as opposed to the grey or black hair of other great apes. The Bornean orangutan is known to be among the most intelligent primates and it is critically endangered, largely due to habitat loss from deforestation and palm oil plantations. It is one of three species of orangutans, the others being the Sumatran orangutan and Tapanuli orangutan.
