__Behavior & adaptations to its way of life__
=== Orangutans have many adaptions some or them are there strength, they are much stronger then even a grown man. Another adaption is that they can walk like humans on two legs, this makes the look more ferocious to other animals. The last adaption I'm going to tell you about is that they have functional fingers and toes, also like humans. They can pick up things and hold onto things well with their fingers and toes! ===

They are part of the primates group.

Oil palm plantations are tearing apart there home and cutting down their home. They are also hunting the animals because the oil palms do not offer their workers food so they hunt orangutans and other animals. Also people that settle in orangutans habitats are hunting them. ==
