Orang-utan is a great ape that has fur with a colour between red and brown. There are two species of orang-utan. They are from Southeast Asia. There are very few of them left, because loss of the jungle has reduced their habitat.
The name Orang-utan comes from two Malay words, orang which means person, and hutan which means forest; so orang-utan means person of the forest.
Indonesian translation:
Orang utan adalah kera besar yang memiliki bulu dengan warna antara merah dan coklat. Ada dua jenis orang utan. Mereka berasal dari Asia Tenggara. Ada sangat sedikit dari mereka yang tersisa, karena hilangnya hutan telah mengurangi habitat mereka.
Nama Orang utan berasal dari dua kata-kata Melayu, Orang yang berarti orang, dan Hutan yang berarti hutan; sehingga orang utan berarti orang hutan.
