Orangutans.<\/strong> If you are one of those who enjoys discovering the wildlife of the places you visit, these animals may be one of the first things that come to mind when you hear the word Borneo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of these beautiful and intelligent primates which remind us so much of ourselves, there are three species: the Bornean orangutan<\/strong> (Pongo pygmaeus), the Sumatran orangutan<\/strong> (Pongo abelii), and the Tapanuli orangutan<\/strong> or Batang-Toru <\/strong>(Pongo tapanuliensis). Although at first glance they may seem similar, there are morphological and geographical distribution differences between them.<\/p>\n\n\n

But today I will only talk about the first one, the one I was \u201clucky\u201d enough to see. I say lucky because it is an animal in serious danger of extinction and who knows if in a few years it will be possible to continue seeing them in the wild, and I say this in quotation marks, because the places where I saw them are not where I would have liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the great work of both recovery centers we visited and the fact that they were on the list of places to visit from the very beginning, I wish they were not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
