The word orangutan appears in its older form urangutan, in a variety of premodern sources in the Old Javanese language. The earliest of these is the Kakawin Ramayana, a ninth-century or early tenth-century Javanese adaption of the Sanskrit Ramayana. In these Old Javanese sources, the word urangutan refers only to apes and not to forest-dwelling human beings. The word was not originally Javanese, but was borrowed from an early Malayic language at least a thousand years ago. Hence the ultimate origin of the term "orangutan" as denoting the Pongo ape was most likely Old Malay. [2] Zimmermann, N; Pirovino, M; Zingg, R; Clauss, M; Kaup, F. J.; Heistermann, M; Hatt, J.

The Sumatran orangutan genome was sequenced in January 2011. [21] [22] Following humans and chimpanzees, the Sumatran orangutan became the third species of great ape to have its genome sequenced. Subsequently, the Bornean species had its genome sequenced. Bornean orangutans ( P.pygmaeus) have less genetic diversity than in Sumatran ones ( P.abelii), despite populations being six to seven times higher in Borneo. The researchers hope these data may help conservationists preserve the endangered ape, as well as learn more about human genetic diseases. [22] Similarly to gorillas and chimpanzees, orangutans have 48 diploid chromosomes, in contrast to humans, which have 46. [23] :30 Orangutans may be killed for the bushmeat trade [122] and bones are secretly sold in souvenir shops in several cities in Indonesian Borneo. [123] Conflicts between locals and orangutans also pose a threat. Orangutans that have lost their homes often raid agricultural areas and end up being killed by villagers. [124] Locals may also be motivated to kill orangutans for food or because of their perceived danger. [125] Mother orangutans are killed so their infants can be sold as pets. Between 2012 and 2017, the Indonesian authorities, with the aid of the Orangutan Information Center, seized 114 orangutans, 39 of which were pets. [126] Meijer, Miriam Claude (2014).

Unflanged males wander widely in search of oestrous females and upon finding one, will force copulation on her, the occurrence of which is unusually high among mammals. Females prefer to mate with the fitter flanged males, forming pairs with them and benefiting from their protection. [63] [55] [64] Non- ovulating females do not usually resist copulation with unflanged males, as the chance of conception is low. [64] Homosexual behaviour has been recorded in the context of both affiliative and aggressive interactions. [65] Mother orangutan with young Wrangham, Richard W; Peterson, Dale (1996).

[139] Conservation organisations such as the Orangutan Land Trust work with the palm oil industry to improve sustainability and encourages the industry to establish conservation areas for orangutans.

Main article: Orangutans in popular culture 1870 illustration for " The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Daniel Vierge The three orangutan species are the only extant members of the subfamily Ponginae. This subfamily also includes extinct apes such as Lufengpithecus, which occurred 8–2 mya in southern China and Thailand. [18] :50 Indopithecus, which lived in India from 9.2 to 8.6 mya; and Sivapithecus, which lived in India and Pakistan from 12.5mya until 8.5mya. [27] These animals likely lived in drier and cooler environments than orangutans do today. Khoratpithecus piriyai, which lived 5–7mya in Thailand, is believed to be the closest known relative of the living orangutans and inhabited similar environments. [18] :50 The largest known primate, Gigantopithecus, was also a member of Ponginae and lived in China, from 2mya to 300,000years ago. [28] [18] :50 a b Teboekhorst, I.; Schürmann, C.; Sugardjito, J.

A female will usually have a baby (or two) with her, but males like to be alone.
