The term "orang utan" is derived from the Malay word, ie 'person' which means man and 'utan' which means forest. The orangutan includes two sub-species, the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) and the borneo orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus). [4] What is unique is that orangutans have close kinship with humans at the level of kingdom animalia, where orangutans has a DNA similarity of 96.4%

Orangutans do not even need to leave their trees if they want to drink. They usually drink water that has accumulated in the holes between the branches of the tree.

Usually the orangutan parent teaches how to get food, how to get drinks, and various types of trees in different seasons
