Diet
   Orangutans are omnivores this means they eat
a lot of different kinds of food.  They eat both
meat and plants like fruit, leaves and small
animals.  Over half of a wild orangutan's diet is
fruit. The juicy, smelly, durian fruit (looks
like a cantaloupe with thorns and smells like
rotten eggs, but its taste is sweet as honey) is
one of their favorites.  They also eat flowers,
bark, and insects such as, termites, and a
butterflys larva.

An Orangutan has long hairy limbs with hand-like
feet and human-like hands. These extraordinary
limbs help him to swing through the trees.

Habitat
The orangutan is actually the largest living ape
that spends most of its time in the trees. The
rest of the apes do climb and build sleeping
nests in the trees, but primarily spend their
lives on the ground. The orangutans live in
Sumatra and Borneo. The orangutan is in danger of
becoming extinct because Indonesian community's
are chopping down natural forest trees, which are
part of the orangutans home and planting palm oil
palms, which is demolishing the whole forest!!!

Help Save The Orangutan
If you care about the orangutan then you will
stop buying palm oil products. Such as lipstick
pasta.
  Orangutans are endangered because of people
harvesting their forest for food, planting palm
oil trees and chopping the trees for firewood. 
Huge forest fires kill them too and burn the
trees down. Poachers kill the mothers while they
are protecting their babies.  There are less than
30,000 in the wild.

Palm Oil
Palm oil is a form of edible vegetable oil
obtained from the fruit of the palm oil tree.
Palm oil itself is a reddish colour. It is used
as cooking oil, to make margarine and is a
component of many processed foods. Boiling it for
a few minutes destroys the carotenoids and the
oil becomes white. Palm oil is one of the few
vegetable oils relatively high in saturated fats
(such as coconut oil) and thus semi-solid at room
temperature.
