Did you know, that in the wild orangutans can live for approximately 40 years or more? In captivity however, they can live to around 60. Congratulations to Popi at The Centre for Great Apes in Florida who, rescued from the entertainment industry, celebrated her 54th birthday in May! 🎂 #orangutanfacts #orangutan #ape #primate #oranguntan_foundation #wildlife #biodiversity #borneo #indonesia (fb)

High up in the canopies, infant orangutans must hold on tight whilst their mothers navigate the trees. 🌳 Here you can see this youngster already using its ’hands-like-feet’ to grip onto its mother’s hair. With opposable toes that can grip like fingers, these apes are made for a life in the forest.
