Lately I have been learning about Orangutans, new studies show that Orangutans have 97% of the DNA we do, making them more closely related to us than chimps.Here are some fun facts about them;
- They have an average lifespan of 20-30 years in the wild.
- They range from 100-200 pounds.
- They have extremly long hair.
- There senses are a lot like ours.
- Orangutan literally translates into "man of the forest" in malay.
Today, we went to our local zoo to see them in action. They were so active! One was right up against the glass hitting it with a plastic cone, while the other was wrapped up in a pink blanket and looked like a little old lady!
