facts-about-apes-4

The Sumatra orangutan’s fur is more reddish than that of the Borneo orangutan, the males’ cheek pads are less pronounced and often covered in white hair. Sumatra orangutans also spend less time on the ground than their Bornean cousins. Experts suspect the reason to stay aloft may be the Sumatra tiger, which also preys on orangutans.
