Product Description
Our plastic orangutan stands 3 1/8 inches tall in the position you see in the photo. It can balance on two feet with arms in the air, can be placed to appear to swing from a branch (brachiating), or it can appear to walk on all four feet or climb a tree. Made of light-weight hollow plastic, this orangutan has movable arms, legs, and head (the head moves forward and back). It makes a nice addition to your primate collection, is nice for birthday parties and favors, school projects, can be given as a gift or used as a toy.

The orangutans are three extant species of great apes native to Indonesia and Malaysia. Orangutans are currently only found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were originally considered to be one species. From 1996, they were divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan (P. pygmaeus, with three subspecies) and the Sumatran orangutan (P. abelii). In November 2017 it was reported that a third species had been identified, the Tapanuli orangutan (P. tapanuliensis).
