Picture
Unable to fend for himself, a young orangutan resembles a hairy little rascal, copying everything he sees his mother do, and learning how to live their very specialised arboreal lifestyle. His feet are similar to his hands, with long flexible toes and an opposable big toe (like a thumb) - by the time he is full-grown his armspan will be 2.4m, to enable him to travel and swing between trees despite his large bulk. For now he is practicing physical skills, and very importantly, learning to map the food sources in their territory.
