    Extractions: Web posted at: 10:58 p.m. EST (0358 GMT) BANGKOK (CNN) Thailand's only married orangutan couple are well on their way towards forming a full-fledged nuclear family. Zuzu and Mike are now a mother and father after Zuzu gave birth to a male baby ape late Tuesday night. The delivery, expected for weeks, took place at Lopburi Zoo, 70 miles north of Bangkok. Hundreds of people have flocked to the zoo to see the primate family. The happy couple made headlines last year when Zuzu, an 8-year-old orangutan, was flown from Taiwan to marry Mike a lonely ape who needed a mate. Now zoo officials are passing out cigars. "We had champagne and a big celebration," said one of Zuzu's doctors. Reuters contributed to this report.

    An illegal pet industry in Indonesia is pushing orangutans to the brink of extinction in the wild

    Extractions: Buy The Disenchanted Forest read full text No Exit An illegal pet industry in Indonesia is pushing orangutans to the brink of extinction in the wild The heat of the tropical sun and the smell of sweating bodies pervade the outdoor Jakarta animal market. Amid a cacophony of parrot chatter, the screams of monkeys and the barking of dogs, Willie Smits, dressed to look like a British oilman, and photographer Viviane Moos elbow their way through the crowd. Smits calls out in Indonesian, asking if anyone has orangutans for sale. The sea of people parts and a man appears with a red, furry baby orangutan clinging to his waist. "It's him," shouts one of the men in the crowd, recognizing Smits. As head of the largest orangutan rescue organization in the world, Smits is hated and feared by people who trade in orangutans and other exotic animals. Although it's illegal to own one of these orangy-red apes on the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra (their last natural refuges) and in many other places, trade in the primate is brisk. A big-bucks black market breeds violence, to which Smits is no stranger: he and his family frequently receive death threats. Even so, Smits continues to go to markets, confiscate orangutans and help police identify dealers in exotic animals. "Take her camera! Pull the film out. Hit them!" cries one of the men. Smits, 45, sees several others reaching for stilettos in their pockets. "I'll buy it," Smits shouts, momentarily confusing the traders and causing them to back off. Although he doesn't like to encourage the trade by making a purchase, Smits thrusts a stack of rupiah worth about $325 at the man with the orangutan, grabs the quivering animal and pulls Moos with him into the crowd. "You can't come back here again," Smits says to Moos, who has been photographing the whole time. "They could kill you."

Bukit Lawang is situated about 80 km to the north-west of Medan. map: north Sumatra Getting there: There are frequent public mini-buses from Pinang Baris bus station, Medan (2 hour journey). Tourist mini-buses are also available, these will pick you up from your hotel but only run twice a day and are much more expensive than public mini-buses. Don't take the public bus as this will double the journey time.

You also need a permit but this is just a formality to obtain. Guides tout for business at all the guesthouses, prices are negotiable. Accommodation: Lots of guesthouses dotted along the Bohorok river, upstream places have cleaner water.

Throughout our lives most of us marvel at the diversity and uniqueness of life. We visit zoos and watch nature programs on television and are astounded by the strangeness of the creatures we see. I believe that future generations will judge us not by what we have created for them, but by what we have saved for them. Please carefully consider your children, grand-children, and great-grand-children, as you make decisions that affect the natural world. - Ralph Waterhouse, Director of Chaffee Zoo Enter Here Chaffee Zoo is an accredited member of the AZA Main Index

    Extractions: Research Programs: Since 1971 research has been ongoing at the Orangutan research and conservation center in Tanjung Puting National Park, Indonesia. These studies have been specifically concerned with wild orangutan behavior, the development of orangutan conservation programs, and the re-introduction of captured individuals into the wild. Specific areas that have been investigated include orangutan subsistence, sociality, reproduction, cognitive potentials, communications and tool use. Other primate studies have been carried out on proboscus monkeys and macaques. A small number of SFU undergraduate students have been involved in field work at Tanjung Puting and PhD research by a SFU graduate student will begin in 1991.

In addition it is home to a range of rare and endangered animals , including the orangutan. Deep within the National Park lies Cabang Panti Research Camp, established by Mark Leighton in 1985. Cabang Panti, encompassing 2000 hectares has housed a diverse array of research projects including Dr. Cheryl Knott ’s Gunung Palung Orangutan Project, begun in 1994. At this time, the Gunung Palung project is one of the only functioning field sites for the study of wild orangutans. Because of the highly endangered status of orangutans, Dr. Knott and her research team are engaged in a variety of conservation efforts

    Extractions: Anatomy : Orangutans have a large, bulky body, a large head, a thick neck, very long, strong arms, short, bowed legs, and no tail. They are mostly covered with long reddish-brown hair. Orangutan hands are very much like ours; they have four long fingers plus an opposable thumb.

Diet : Orangutans are omnivores (they eat both plants and animals) but are mostly herbivorous (plants comprise most of their diet). They eat fruit (their favorite food), leaves, seeds, tree bark, plant bulbs, plant shoots, and flowers. They also eat insects and small animals (like birds and small mammals). They drink water that has collected in the holes between tree branches.

    Extractions: Orangutan Common name: orangutan, orang-utan Class: Mammalia Order: Primate Family: Pongidae Genus species: Pongo (gorilla/orangutan) pygmaeus (small, dwarfish) Size: head and body length, male, .97 m (3.2 ft.); female .78 m (2.6 ft.) Weight: males up to 90 kg (198 lb.); females to 50 kg (110 lb.) Description: the only great ape from Asia. Taxonomy is disputed, formerly two subspecies: Bornean ( P. p. pygmaeus ) has a round face with dark red coat; Sumatran ( P. p. abelii ) has a long narrow face with paler longer hair. Adult males of both species have large cheek flaps. Life span: up to 50 years Sexual maturity: between 7 and 10 years of age Gestation: 260 to 270 days Habitat: Primary lowland swamp in Borneo and montane forest in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Diet: fruit and other plant materials including leaves, bark, flowers, and nuts, occasionally insects and small mammals. Status: listed as endangered by USFWS and protected by CITES Unlike other great apes, orangutans are solitary by nature; this may be related to their need for large quantities of fruit which are dispersed throughout the forest.

    Information about the orangutan from the University of Michigan's Diversity Web.

    Extractions: The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology Animal Diversity Web About us ... Glossary Written by Debbie Ciszek and Maija Schommer Classification Table of Contents Oriental : Orangutans currently inhabit only the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Fossil evidence indicates that their past distribution included much of Southeast Asia. Mass: 30 to 90 kg. Orangutans are sexually dimorphic. Females range from 30 - 50 kg, while males are from 50 - 90 kg. Head and body length is about 1.5 meters and the arms have a spread of about 2.2 meters. They have a thin, shaggy coat that is reddish brown in color. Males have large cheek pads, which are made up of deposits of subcutaneous fat bound by connective tissue. These cheek pads continue growing for much of an adult male's life. Orangs have a high, sloping forehead and a bulging snout. They have short, weak legs, but strong hands and arms. Natural History The diet consists mainly of fruit, especially figs. Various species of figs ripen at different times in the year, and the movement pattern of the animals can largely be explained by their following this process. Orangutans will also eat other kinds of vegetation, such as leaves, bark, buds, and flowers. They will also occasionally eat mineral-rich soil, insects, and possibly eggs and small vertebrates. They drink by reaching into tree holes and lapping water from their hands.
