Capturing the Magnificent Orangutans

Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, Orangutans are found in the rain forests of Sumatra and Borneo. While earlier they were considered to be one species, since 1996 they have been divided into two species namely - the Bornean orangutan (P. pygmaeus) and the Sumatran orangutan (P. abelii). Among the great apes, orangutans are the most solitary of the great apes. The main component of their diet is fruit. Here are some photos of these great apes captured in Borneo.
