Encore post from exactly one year ago... Animals of Borneo: Bornean Orangutan Orangutans are Borneo and Sumatra’s global ambassadors. Their current endangerment is caused by habitat loss, unregulated palm oil plantations, illegal logging and the unlawful pet trade. They are very intelligent animals and the mothers spend time nurturing and teaching their children to survive. Each night an Orangutan builds a nest in the tree to sleep in. Their call is a bombastic sound that echoes around them. Between the gibbons, orangutans, insects, frogs and birds the rainforests of Borneo it sounds like an orchestra and choir warming up singing a dozen different songs all at once. This is the conclusion of the first 4 Animals of Borneo posts - more to come later. * #Orangutan #BorneanOrangutan #Song #NestBuilders #GreatApes #Borneo #BorneanFauna #Kalimantan #Sarawak #Sabah #Malaysia #Indonesia #Primate #Cute #Art #Artistic #PhotoManipulation #SimulatedPainting #AnimalsOfBorneo https://www.instagram.com/p/BqKvBESh8t3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=42hc4lsjgxy9
