Today is International Orangutan Day! To show our love for this great ape of Borneo, we will be featuring all about this beautiful and highly intelligent creature today. To start, read on great info on Orangutans by our friends from @stickyricetravel 🦧

Orangutans' arms stretch out longer than their bodies, over two metres from fingertip to fingertip. Like us humans, they also have opposable thumbs on their hands and feet. These great apes are native to Sumatra and Borneo. They have a mostly arboreal lifestyle spending up to 90% of their time in the trees of the tropical rainforests they call home. However our orangutans here in Borneo actually spend more time on the forest floor than their cousins in Sumatra - one theory is that the absence of Tigers on our island has allowed them to descend from the trees and forage without fear.
