A shot I’ve been after for ages and finally got on our last trip.🤩
In the Malaysian language ‘Orang’ means Human and ‘Utan’ means Forest. De orangutan indeed is a large primate living in de trees of the rainforest. There’s 3 species of orangutan, the Sumatran living on Sumatra. There’s Bornean living in Borneo and the last one was discovered in 2017: Tapanuli.
