[[Image:Orang-Utan.jpg|thumb|250px|An Orangutan]]The '''orangutan''' is a great ape found on the [[Indonesia]]n islands of [[Borneo]] and [[Sumatra]]. It is known for its orange-colored fur and very long arms. The name "orang-utan" is Indonesian for "people of the forest." This name was given to the creatures under the assumption made by the evolutionist Indonesians that people and apes share a common ancestry.
