Orangutans, as one of the more well known great apes of the world, have been popular as pop icons, with countless orangutan characters playing integral roles in the development of storylines and plots.

From the wizard/librarian-turned-orangutan in the Discworld series by award-winning author Terry Prachett, to the spotlight focused on an orangutan character in Babe: Pig In The City, orangutans are also quite popular as plushie toy collections and other forms of child-friendly merchandise products, with such items drawing inspiration from their popularity as mainstream media characters.

Only found in Asia, orangutans are known for being one of the more intelligent ape species in the world, with researchers and scientists noting how wild orangutans actually use tools and other implements in getting tasks and chores done. Also known for their learning abilities, the orangutan’s capacity to take on “tests” and “challenges” have piqued the interests of different experts for years, along with their actual capacity to have distinct individual personalities.

Defined by their reddish-hued coats, the orangutan’s physical attributes define them as arboreal creatures, spending most of they days up on the canopies of trees. Contrary to most assumptions, they are quite docile but their strength does allow them to inflict serious injury when they are provoked.

Considered to be the most solitary of all the known great apes, orangutans are truly marvelous creatures, whose intelligence and unique physique have made them the target of different poachers and illegal animal trade.

Given the fact that they are only found in Asia, they stand to be at risk of going extinct, should any more damage to their natural habitats be done.
