Orangutans are great apes, as opposed to monkeys, and are more closely related to humans, having 97% of DNA in common. Orangutans are extremely patient and intelligent mammals. They are very observant and inquisitive, and there are many stories of orangutans escaping from zoos after having observing the routine of their keepers unlock and lock doors. They are currently an endangered species due to habitat loss. Suitable orangutan habitat in Indonesia and Malaysia has declined by more than 80% in the last 20 years.
