The Bornean orangutan[1] is native to the Borneo Island. Along with Pongo abelii (the Sumatran orangutan) and Pongo tapanuliensis (the Tapanuli orangutan), it belongs to the only genus of great apes endemic to Asia.
- They have thick, shaggy, orange-red hair and long arms, which are beneficial for traveling through the canopy.
- They grasp with their hands and feet, which suits their arboreal life. Unlike most mammals, their fur does not cover their faces.
- However, Bornean orangutans do have facial hair, including beards and whiskers.
- Also, they have sizeable fatty cheek pads called a harness and a drooping throat pouch.
