The orangutan is a great ape found on the Indonesian 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.
