Anotations

Scope note:

Genus containing two living species of orangutans native to Indonesia and Malaysia; they are large hominids that are intelligent, primarily arboreal, having very long arms, reddish-brown hair, and having males that exhibit two modes of physical development, dominant males being flanged (with large cheek pads) and other males being unflanged. Flanged males hold and protect territory, while unflanged males look and behave more like juveniles and females.
