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.
Orangutans also build nests in the daytime to rest and play in.
A mother with young children might build 2 or 3 nests a day. They are woven in the branch of a tree and are often very well made, like a big basket. Often they are more than a metre across. Baby orangutans are born in the nests . Essentially they are vegetarian and do not eat meat or fish.
