Orang Utan facts
While investigating facts about Orang Utan, I found out little known, but curios details like:
In the 1920's Soviet biologist Ilia Ivanov carried out a series of experiments to create human - ape hybrids. 5 Human women had volunteered to be inseminated with the sperm of Tarzan, a 26-year-old male orang-utan and to carry his babies.
There are tarsiers, Bornean gibbons, and orang-utans in Kinabalu National Park but it is rare for visitors to actually see these mammal species. The most commonly seen creatures are the squirrels, mouse deer, and tree shrews.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 6 of the best facts about Orang Utan I managed to collect.
-
Humans are classified as "Great Apes" alongside orang-utans, gorillas, and chimpanzees.
-
The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, based on the island of Jersey, in the English Channel, were the first in the world to film an Orang Utan giving birth.
-
An Orang-Utan has been used as a sex slave in a brothel in Borneo. People are sick.
