Orangutans are large, red-haired animals with four hands and no tail. They are members of a group called the Great Apes. They are different to monkeys because they have no tail.
Orangutans are very similar to humans.
The Great Apes are humankind's closest living relatives. These are the only places in the world where orangutans live. Orangutans live mainly in the trees, only occasionally coming to the ground. In their nests. Usually they make a new one every evening.
